SSDD: same shit, different day

So I've never actually seen a Limp Bizkit video - yes, Limp Bizkit - but I was forced to turn to YouTube when I got a random craving to listen to "Break Stuff" - ah, brings back memories of homecoming. I'm not even kidding. And now I'm completely obsessed with this video. I love music videos that feature "regular people" saying the lines of the song - see System of a Down's Boom! and Placebo's Running Up That Hill - they can get a little myspacey at times but I think that's worth the effect: showing the universality of the song.

Anyway. Here's "Break Stuff".  If this song isn't universal, I don't know what universal is.

just as long as you don't go claiming that we're all equal because we're universally 'the same', i think we're fine.

Well I definitely don't believe in universality... in everyday life/politics. I do biologically/spiritually, however.

I don't know what that really means, so I can't agree or disagree...

All part of the same species?

well, that means different things to different people, because they assign different importance, functions, etc. to genes, species-membership (as opposed to the nearly statistically universal but non-biologically universal societal membership), etc. for me it certainly exists but means precious little.

Hmm... it probably means a bit more than "precious little" to me, but I understand your point. I'm not saying it's all that significant, but it is something that I think.

Well, we are allowed to disagree here...

Yeah man.
