Secrets, Glamour and Fashion.

I’ve decided to talk a lill’ about a trend that has shaken our city and more precisely the minds of the teenagers who wanna stand out from the crowd: MINIMALISM.
So… what Wikipedia , the laaaaaaargest encyclopedia online, says is that Minimalism describes movements in various forms of art and design, especially visual art and music, where work is stripped down to its most fundamental features. In art music of the last 35 years, the term minimalism is sometimes applied to music that displays some or all of the following features: repetition (often of short musical phrases, with minimal variations over long periods of time, ostinati) or stasis (often in the form of drones and long tones); emphasis on consonant harmony; a steady pulse; hypnotic effect.
What should minimal be… ? It should be a intelligently thought genre of house music.Very intelligent through its simplicity. Deep bass, sweet effects and a well done build up. The songs that have pieces that are repeated have a great success among minimal people. Aren’t people a little imbecile because they can listen to repetitive stuff? I don’t have any explanation, but anyway, there isn’t any point in giving one.
Minimal is an adored word for minimal people. You can eat minimal, think minimal breathe minimal and most important, see everything in a minimalistic way. Minimal culture can’t exist without its gangs of minimal people minimized at the minimum. Minimal is a misunderstood art. The person who listens to minimal music is not a houser, not even a trancer , he’s the one and only admirer of minimal, a way of living wide-spread by some nice guru named generically an artist. Minimal music is listened by drug addicts with turkey haircuts who are under 18. Some of them listen to minimal just because it’s in the latest trend. But how can you dance in a minimal way? Everyone has to dance as if you would have to unbind some pickle jars wearing “head kerchiefs” around their necks, sunglasses covering 3 quarters of their faces , looking up to unbide more jars. This is the funniest thing to see at minimal persons. They don’t care about anyone around while they’re dancing . They don’t look at each other. They are simply there… alone…unbinding jars ;)). >>>>>> This is what some people threatened by this new trend believe about Minimal.
And the answer from a devoted minimal person may be : “The idea of minimalism . It includes, by definition, any music that works with limited or minimal materials: pieces that use only a few notes, pieces that use only few words of text, or pieces written for very limited instruments, such as antique cymbals, bicycle wheels, or whiskey glasses. It includes pieces that sustain one basic electronic rumble for a long time. It includes pieces made exclusively from recordings of rivers and streams. It includes pieces that move in endless circles. It includes pieces that set up an unmoving wall of saxophone sound. It includes pieces that take a very long time to move gradually from one kind of music to another.”
If only there really was a real minimal listener…. Nowadays teenagers claim to be emo, minimal, punk, so on … Just because it’s “ trendy” :))))))) You’re not cool if you don’t wear big sunglasses, dye your hair so as to look like a rainbow, wear black and purple clothes with polka dots and checkered stuff and not to forgeeeet: Converse! Why can’t people be themselves … express their personalities in their own way and not follow each others like geese???
