ideas to reflect on:
how consumerism defines what we are
what makes ideas/art/songs meaningful?
How does this tie into the ego? (especially as an artist).

excerpt:

They want to know why they are here, and why their perspective is more special than yours or mine. Music offers a wide range of products that can help users believe that they are more unique, more authentic, more alterntive, more mainstream, and more intrinsically meaningful. While we all have different interpretations of ‘what it means to mean something meaningful’, we can all find an artist that helps us to feel like we truly connect with what it is that connects those of us who ‘understand the human condition.’
