Do you feel as you age that you're more willing to embrace the mainstream?
    #7985648 -

Define it as you will but I've prided myself from avoiding the mainstream for the vast majority of my life. I don't really know why, I just never wanted to be like half the "idiots" I saw on a daily basis. I've noticed over this year though that I've started to become more accepting of these things and I've even started appreciating things that I used to dislike. One being football which I've come to really enjoy watching! Now, don't get the misconception that I'm really old or something as I'm only 20! I just think I'm starting to mature a little bit as I age. How about you?

I don't think it has as much to do with maturing, just your "Mental Tastebuds" seeking a new spice. Some might become permanent additions to your buffet, others occasional snacks, and sometimes certain items are removed from the menu, due to a number of complications and/or simplifications. Eitherway, there is a lot of food out there, and variety is the spice of...well, you know...buffets.

i never had a problem with mainstream, never really fit in with it though, when smoking weed became mainstream around me, people were coming to me for it, when i started doing shrooms people looked at me like i was insane, then few years later people started wanting to try them, and again for my close group of friends i became the supply, learning a lil from my weed selling though i didn't get into selling shrooms and people started just buying e to get "fucked up".

i dunno i just view things from a different viewpoint to meld in right with mainstream, if i want something i go out and do what has to be done to get it, most people just seem to wait for things to fall in their lap. *shrug*

I've never been much of a mainstream person and the older I get (I'm 31) the further away from it I seem to get.

I think having a child has made my wife and I even more askance from popular culture - the child raising method (attachment parenting) we're using is seen as very "hippy" by the mainstream - also we hardly watch any telly or listen to "popular" radio and aren't very socialable people at all.

I guess I'd embrace it if the price was right. It just seems like people are doing it for free these days, so it's not really alluring.

I've always hated the mainstream, the music, the mall, the fashion, the stuck up fucks, the unacceptance in the differences of people(it's on thing to jokingly tease someone about what they do but to treat them like shit is a whole different thing) I've gotten along great with some football players, preps, nerds etc but there a large amount of them that are cunts and always will be. It's fucking sick to see middle aged men acting like some bone head frat boy with an ego bigger than Paris Hilton.

this is normal with maturity comes tolerance. pretty easily explained for anyone who actually allows themselves to grow and change into a better being.

but you have to admit that are people who are always gonna be so caught up in themselves and their concern with what is cool, in acceptable, normal however you want to put it when they are constantly being fed these ideas from TV, magazines and society in general. I would rather shop at goodwill so I can have a nice car that works when I need it and furniture, Cd's and stuff that I can have fun with, there is nothing wrong with wanting nice possessions, cool gadgets and stuff it's just when people make it seem like this is what you have to have to be accepted. Also I have felt this way since I was 12 so age has nothing to do with it at all. I've always been able to get along with the mainstream people but there are so many that are idiots.

I feel like at 25 I am becoming more resistant to mainstream influence.

I don't really consider engrossing oneself in popular culture to be a sign of maturity, per say.

I agree.

I find I am even less interested in popular TV and music and I age, but I am more tolerant of those who like that stuff. There's no reason to resent somebody solely for liking things a lot of other people like.

I personally am not sure that it is age because there are those that never change, I think it has more to do with being around people of all different types, so more so it would be meeting and getting to know people better of all types that makes them change without even knowing it.

I've embraced the mainstream I guess. I don't try to conform to it and I don't run from it either. What people tend to associate with being mainstream is usually at one end of the spectrum while they claim to be at the other. Some things in the mainstream are appealing, but as far as what TV, radio or any other media source presents as what we should be, I take with a grain of salt. Too much and this salty buffet will give me high cholesterol.

Well I think that is why age makes a difference. The more life experience you have, the more people and ideas you encounter. I think everybody is changing all the time without knowing it.

Yeah I guess but then you gotta look at where someone grows up if they ever move cause socal is a place where if you grow up with a certain crowd and never leave that place you'll never change so environment also would play a factor too maybe even more than age, don't you think? Environment can cause drastic change positive and negative.

most things that are "mainstream" make me feel like they were created to take advantage of people. It's weird.

Man is timid and apologetic; he is no longer upright; he dares not say "I think," "I am," but quotes some saint or sage. He is ashamed before the blade of grass or the blowing rose.Man postpones or remembers; he does not live in the present, but with reverted eye laments the past, or, heedless of the riches that surround him, stands on tiptoe to foresee the future. He cannot be happy and strong until he too lives with nature in the present, above time

What else is it there for?




America I've given you all and now I'm nothing.
America two dollars and twenty-seven cents January 17, 1956.
I can't stand my own mind.
America when will we end the human war?
Go fuck yourself with your atom bomb
I don't feel good don't bother me.
I won't write my poem till I'm in my right mind.
America when will you be angelic?
When will you take off your clothes?
When will you look at yourself through the grave?
When will you be worthy of your million Trotskyites?
America why are your libraries full of tears?
America when will you send your eggs to India?
I'm sick of your insane demands.
When can I go into the supermarket and buy what I need with my good looks?
America after all it is you and I who are perfect not the next world.
Your machinery is too much for me.
You made me want to be a saint.
There must be some other way to settle this argument.
Burroughs is in Tangiers I don't think he'll come back it's sinister.
Are you being sinister or is this some form of practical joke?
I'm trying to come to the point.
I refuse to give up my obsession.
America stop pushing I know what I'm doing.
America the plum blossoms are falling.
I haven't read the newspapers for months, everyday somebody goes on trial for
murder.
America I feel sentimental about the Wobblies.
America I used to be a communist when I was a kid and I'm not sorry.
I smoke marijuana every chance I get.
I sit in my house for days on end and stare at the roses in the closet.
When I go to Chinatown I get drunk and never get laid.
My mind is made up there's going to be trouble.
You should have seen me reading Marx.
My psychoanalyst thinks I'm perfectly right.
I won't say the Lord's Prayer.
I have mystical visions and cosmic vibrations.
America I still haven't told you what you did to Uncle Max after he came over
from Russia.

I'm addressing you.
Are you going to let our emotional life be run by Time Magazine?
I'm obsessed by Time Magazine.
I read it every week.
Its cover stares at me every time I slink past the corner candystore.
I read it in the basement of the Berkeley Public Library.
It's always telling me about responsibility. Businessmen are serious. Movie
producers are serious. Everybody's serious but me.
It occurs to me that I am America.
I am talking to myself again.

Asia is rising against me.
I haven't got a chinaman's chance.
I'd better consider my national resources.
My national resources consist of two joints of marijuana millions of genitals
an unpublishable private literature that goes 1400 miles and hour and
twentyfivethousand mental institutions.
I say nothing about my prisons nor the millions of underpriviliged who live in
my flowerpots under the light of five hundred suns.
I have abolished the whorehouses of France, Tangiers is the next to go.
My ambition is to be President despite the fact that I'm a Catholic.

America how can I write a holy litany in your silly mood?
I will continue like Henry Ford my strophes are as individual as his
automobiles more so they're all different sexes
America I will sell you strophes $2500 apiece $500 down on your old strophe
America free Tom Mooney
America save the Spanish Loyalists
America Sacco & Vanzetti must not die
America I am the Scottsboro boys.
America when I was seven momma took me to Communist Cell meetings they
sold us garbanzos a handful per ticket a ticket costs a nickel and the
speeches were free everybody was angelic and sentimental about the
workers it was all so sincere you have no idea what a good thing the party
was in 1935 Scott Nearing was a grand old man a real mensch Mother
Bloor made me cry I once saw Israel Amter plain. Everybody must have
been a spy.
America you don're really want to go to war.
America it's them bad Russians.
Them Russians them Russians and them Chinamen. And them Russians.
The Russia wants to eat us alive. The Russia's power mad. She wants to take
our cars from out our garages.
Her wants to grab Chicago. Her needs a Red Reader's Digest. her wants our
auto plants in Siberia. Him big bureaucracy running our fillingstations.
That no good. Ugh. Him makes Indians learn read. Him need big black niggers.
Hah. Her make us all work sixteen hours a day. Help.
America this is quite serious.
America this is the impression I get from looking in the television set.
America is this correct?
I'd better get right down to the job.
It's true I don't want to join the Army or turn lathes in precision parts
factories, I'm nearsighted and psychopathic anyway.
America I'm putting my queer shoulder to the wheel.
