(55) Ultimate solution to explicit lyrics.
Speech as a verbal means of communication and expression is very complex. As much as it involves the body, it involves the mind also. The great existing varieties of communication and expression show well that a lot of different minds and bodies, past and present, make up the world. Another complexity of speech is its wide scope. Some people raise their voices out of necessity, to cry out in emergency, and others to sing, whether for ritual or entertainment.
It would seem strange that of all the communications and expressions, some would choose to say bad things, and of all the possible ways to communicate and express something, some would choose to do so in the worst manner.
Although we may all have been like that at times, it seems strange that some people consciously choose "bad" and "worst" as their only existing means of speech, communication, and expression.
But in reality, this often has to do with having a negative attitude towards life and people. It is in this respect, precisely, that the person I am about to present stands out like a sore thumb of particular refinement.
Although I have not known him since birth, only since a couple of years ago, it has been clearly established and confirmed by his family, friends, schools, and any existing record of any kind that the way he is now, he has been that way his whole life so far.
He was born thoroughly negative. Fortunately for him, apart from his uncaring, pessimistic looks at birth, his body functioned normally, and as long as he doesn't have depression or something, he'll be fine.
And he was never prone to that. A particularity of his case is despite his thoroughly negative attitude towards everythin'g, he isn't the kind to be forever closed in on himself and brood or sulk.
That didn't make his company more pleasant, though. A strong cynical indifference emanates from his person, and ever since he even began only to speak, he has so far absolutely never been known to say anything pleasant or nice.
He is unique and stands out like a sore thumb of particular refinement in that, no matter what, and I really mean, based on all the evidence, that no matter what the situation is, he will be able to adapt his speech to it and find a perfect way to say something either bad, wrong, hurtful, or rude.
When you think of it, isn't there always something unpleasant, unhelpful, or very vulgar to say? He has gained an immense amount of experience over the years in refining his ways of saying something inadequate. He proves also, like many before him, that you don't have to shout to be unpleasant or shocking.
It is not surprising that he would involve himself so much in the debate over explicit lyrics in http://music. It appears that more and more, over the years, some people didn't like suddenly hearing an obscenity or bad swear words in music.
The unexpected explicitly each time made them feel like they were accidentally forced to swallow a great big piece of swollen turd floating in their cups of entertainment consumption. "There's nothing more frustrating," they say, "because once you've swallowed it, you can only feel bad and sick."
As incredible as it sounds, they claim it isn't easy to dodge a great big piece of turd if you don't see it coming, if it just pops up from the bottom and slips right between your lips just as you're drinking. The parental advisory label wasn't helping, and the point was,
"What's the use of them anyways?"
Tremendous pressure was put on imposing a complete national and international ban on all bands with those tendencies.
After much fighting on both sides, where he effectively supported extreme bands for the worst reasons, the final status adopted is that the bands themselves may perform, record, and sell their music—only if completely free from any explicit imagery or lyrics.
About that, exactly what is explicit and acceptable for the markets and public accessibility was to be determined in each country and big city by boards made up of random citizens of all ages but with the greatest sensitivity and that are the most likely to be offended by anything in the first place or easily afraid of anything different or "suspicious."
In these new circumstances, an enormous number of bands were immediately forced to change their name and image completely. Altogether, because of these restrictions, most bands chose to quit. Those who didn't propose material that,
if accepted, despite musical liberty in style and intensity allowed, had to be completely unoffensive in both lyrics and imagery, and, judging from the results, there was some abuse, or the boards had a lot of imagination, because those few who endured the conditions looked so "clean," the Victorian age in comparison looks depraved.
This is now the most important reason why I introduced this particular character in the first place.
Despite being what he is, he is also behind the most terrifying musical entity to brave the world since the ban, and really, until you hear for yourself, "terrifying musical entity" doesn't say much, or enough, to render justice to the real thing. He did say they were going to pay for it dearly.
If something like extreme music ever existed, it certainly wasn't anything like this, like what he and his musicians can do, especially since the ban. Their band name was two words, for a total of sixty-nine letters.
To save space, they generally printed their illustrious name in a spiral, starting from the middle, the last letter to the first. When each letter was printed the right size, neither too big nor too small, the spiral was three and a half centimetres in diameter.
The name never stood a chance against the rigours of the board. It did sound a bit nasty. The band decided to produce recordings on their own, under the new name "Rose," the flower, not the colour.
They also founded their own label, "Cochlea Records," printed in a small spiral, for what you hear, the way you hear it. Now get ready, here we go: Their very first album under the name "Rose," "Educative Dictionary Songs," was never understood nor much appreciated.
The lyrics came easy, though, the songs being the definition of a word for each letter of the alphabet. It sounds simple, but the challenge is the end result put to their particular virtuosity.
There are absolutely no words to describe what it really is. Before the dust could even start settling after this terrible release, the second album, "Ingredients," truly raised more questions than thought possible and immortalized them as pioneers of a new kind of disturbance.
Even though each song is just the ingredients of several products, and even though some are a bit complicated to pronounce (I wonder how it even passed the rigours of the boards), if you play this at home, if your system actually survives the beginning of the first song, you'll think, "No way—how can this be?
The board managed to prevent any further releases and even had the first two releases banned. New pages in history were written, and even though they proved their point, many would never recover
. "Rose" still isn't satisfied, and they continue, unofficially, to produce many astonishing projects for future generations. Meet "Rose," the ultimate solution to explicit lyrics
