Lord knows he speaks for me. Fark that Lennon guy.

Jesus Christ, could that guy be a bigger douchebag?

/Kanye West, not Jesus Christ

Who?

hahahahahahahahahaha hahahahahaha

how pathetic.....

Shut up Kanye.

Who?

FAIL

Kanye, with delusions of grandeur? Never.

Well, he is a whiny jerk with an overwhelming sense of entitlement.

That actually sounds about right.

Im not sure who the voice of my generation is, I dont think we have one. I am hoping it is not this guy.

Who?

Pssst! Everyone! If you just give him the attention he deserves, namely none, he becomes nothing.

And you can still enjoy any of songs that are good.

*his*

When you have to tell people you're the voice of a generation, you aren't.

Gunny Highway: Im not sure who the voice of my generation is, I dont think we have one. I am hoping it is not this guy.

Well, Lennon is supposed to be the voice of my generation but frankly I prefer Zappa.

/sometimes you just can't write a chord ugly enough to express how you feel so you have to rely on a giraffe filled with whipped cream

Dorf11: When you have to tell people you're the voice of a generation, you aren't.

Yep. Look what happened to Pepsi...choice of a generation...yeah right.

"...of this decade, I will be the loudest voice."

Yep. Like the screaming two-year-old in a quiet restaurant.

Kanye.... Eat a giant bag of dicks.

Die in a fire.

OldManDownDRoad: Well, Lennon is supposed to be the voice of my generation but frankly I prefer Zappa.

If i had to pick someone to represent us I would go with Eugene Hutz from Gogol Bordello. Him or Gene and Dean Ween but i dont think this opinion is shared by many.

I agree Zappa makes a better spokes person.

fuzzwell: Kanye.... Eat a giant bag of dicks.

he already has, many times over

what a douchenozzle

Dorf11: When you have to tell people you're the voice of a generation, you aren't.

This.

But also...

Yanks_RSJ: Well, he is a whiny jerk with an overwhelming sense of entitlement.

...this.

I really don't know how to express how much I loathe Kanye West. I looked for a good .jpg to post, but nothing really fits. Maybe Fark could help me out here.

Yanks_RSJ: Well, he is a whiny jerk with an overwhelming sense of entitlement.

That actually sounds about right.

People try and put him down. Just because he gets around.

No!

Yanks_RSJ: Well, he is a whiny jerk with an overwhelming sense of entitlement.

That's the baby boomer generation. Our generation are the slackers who just stand around and talk about Star Wars and pussy. Since we're generalizing.

Musically speaking, I think history will just try and forget this decade.

OldManDownDRoad: ...Eugene Hutz from Gogol Bordello...Gene and Dean Ween...Zappa...

Jesus, are you serious? The last three or four generations are best represented by novelty acts? That's kind of pessimistic.

What what Kanye West is going to go down on who now?

And Kanye, stop buying so much porn. Your mother died of embarrassment not a plastic surgery disaster. Everyone knew her son was too stupid to find it for free on the internet.

DOUCHE

Mugato: Our generation are the slackers who just stand around and talk about Star Wars and pussy.

Yea I have always thought of us as a bunch of slackers which sucks. That is not a good thing to be known for. I think artists have separated themselves so much, popular ones at least, that it is hard for their fans to look to them for advise. That and most celebrities would say anything for a buck. Whatever out of all of this crap a revival of emerge. At least that is usually how it works.

rocknrollpetrol: The last three or four generations are best represented by novelty acts?

Those are novelty acts? Why is that?

I knew something was up with him when he did the Jesus cover.

I can't remember what came first, the "George Bush does not care about black people" thing or the time when he went onstage after he lost video of the year at some european award show and started trashing the band that won, even though he said he had never even seen their video. This is about the time I started to dislike him with a passion.

Now I just enjoy watching him make a fool of himself.

Ego writing checks his talent cant cash.

He should be shot solely for making those stupid slit-sunglasses popular.

/wants to slap people he sees wearing them.

JimmyCarter'sSecondTerm: even though he said he had never even seen their video.

He spent $1 Million on his video. In his mind that means he should win and now he claims to be the voice of an entire generation. Someone needs to gag this fool.

Freedom-Endured: He should be shot solely for making those stupid slit-sunglasses popular.

He is just stealing Macho Man's thunder from 20+ years ago.

You know, I'm all about leading by example and not hating anyone or mistreating anyone but if I ever saw this tool, I'd really like to cockpunch his crybaby ass. In fact, TF for a year if anyone can cockpunch him on video and post that shiat here!

Link (new window)

Here is a clip of him at that award show. I have never seen a more douchey thing in my life.

It's official. This generation sucks.

Proclaiming yourself as the voice of a generation automatically disqualifies you for the position.

GrizzlyAdamsRox: It's official. This generation sucks.

As opposed to ....

Voice of a generation? The guy can't even pinpoint who the president doesn't care about. It's not that George Bush doesn't care about black people, it's that George Bush doesn't care about poor people. If you make Mike Myers look like the intelligent one in the room, you're not the voice of a generation.

I wonder who IS really the voice of our generation...

Our culture is so fractured that I doubt a consensus could be built.

Yukon Cornelius: If you make Mike Myers look like the intelligent one in the room, you're not the voice of a generation.

JimmyCarter'sSecondTerm: Our culture is so fractured that I doubt a consensus could be built.

I think someone will emerge within the next 5 years. There is alot of loose ends that need to be tied together and no one have been able to do it yet. Hopefully will be able to give a clear big picture view of what the fark is going on.

South Park tries to do that. I would consider them our voice after thinking about it. I know this is not an opinion shared by everyone though.

Gunny Highway: rocknrollpetrol: The last three or four generations are best represented by novelty acts?

Those are novelty acts? Why is that?

"Don't Eat The Yellow Snow"? "She farks Me"? Every Gogol Bordello song? I'm not saying it's bad music--Zappa was obviously incredibly talented at arrangements and the guitar--but how can bands with relatively superfluous lyrics be voices of their generations? Not that I think that music needs poetic or politically aware lyrics at all, but the ones that try for that and succeed at capturing the spirit of the times in which they create--those are the so-called "voices". They end up being completely clichéd because they are necessarily so: Dylan, Strummer, Cobain, etc. If you asked a hundred people who came of age in the nineties who the "voice of their generation" was, the most popular answer would have to be the right one. It probably wouldn't be the Ween brothers. I suppose, though, that given the general vacuous zeitgeist these days, I wouldn't be surprised by Kanye or Gogol Bordello being that representative--though I'd say Kanye is a bit more legitimate than GB.

Can someone please email this page to Kanye? I don't think he has anyone around him to say, "Dude, you're being a douche right now." Someone has to let him know.

I came here to say THIS

rocknrollpetrol: -though I'd say Kanye is a bit more legitimate than GB.

I can see where you are coming from completely. Both GB and Ween do a good job of balancing fun songs with songs with a good message. I think Ween could be it because of their evolution from God Ween Satan to La Cucaracha. They have learned to use their music, as well as the lyrics, as a way to express themselves.

I would pick GB over them though. It is probably because I connect with Eugene's lyrics alot. I can understand why people dont though. I am a big fan of the song 'Think Locally, fark Globally' and I think that kind of sentiment could be shared by a generation as a whole. Not that it is realistic or practical but cultural leaders messages are not always applicable.

That is why I wold say South Park is probably a better voice. Whether you agree with them or not they honestly express themselves about the things going on that everyone is thinking about (and sometimes the things we overlook). People will look back on the show and pick up on some subtle events in our culture that will be forgotten by text books. "We wanted to do a punk rock TV show." Punks are usually honest, not always right, but honest. I think alot of people can respect honesty in my generation.

/I could of course be wrong.
