MUSIC AND ITS STEREOTIPES
THE CONCEITEDNESS PERCEIVES H.I.M.,
Are they 5? Are you kidding? noo... really??
"Hey what’s his name? Yeah, the bass player and the blonde rastaman with the guitar, I don't remember the name of the others, I just remember Vill!"
"The drummer isn't that handsome, I am so sorry for his girlfriend!"
"Fan: I listen to HIM and I'm crazy in Love with Vill, he's so good and very handsome!! Do you know who are they?
M.: Of course, H.I.M., they make indeed a great music and the lyrics are so romantic and poetic!
Fan: Reallyyy? Eheh.. I have never read one of it!"
"VILL, VILL.. You are so handsome VILL!! (in the meanwhile Ville Valo explains, on stage, what he meant in the text of the next song and the fans scream covering his voice)"
How many times have we heard these comments during a HIM's gig?
The answer is simple, TOO MANY!!
Who gaves to a fan or to someone else the Judice parameter to measure other people, people that they don't know on what basis does this judice is based?
Conceitedness and arrogance bring under a bad way of perceiving, not only the Italian fans but the same meaning of the word "fan" . The haughtiness of the Italian supporters however it's becoming legend. Anywhere an Italian goes, we hear such comments like those quoted up from ridiculous stupid girls with less intellectual quotient and too much crazy hormones. Pathetic.
There is people who work, has a family, has a house to manage and to grow up, he waits for that only one time in a year to attend the concert of his Idol, to feel himself happy and to have a good time with his friends, don't feel himself strange and unsuitable anymore, to feel young again and to have a semblance, also if fictitious, of freedom.
All of this is torn away from him in the moment an unbelievable press crushes yourself against the barriers stopping you the breath, overhanging yours shouts of pain with stupid whinings and strident screem from crazy teen-ager that doesn't know anything about the music and she is not even known how to dress, not for a subjective judgment, but objectively, Halloween is October 31th, not everyday in a year. There is also who works and actually studies from day to night , saving as much money as possible, to book trains, airplanes, buses and so on to get to the concert, to be in that city for not even 24 hours without sleeping, waiting 12 hours in front of the theatre and then returning again at home taking back bus, airplane and train.
Nietzsche said:
“Quotidian criterion. We'll rarely be wrong, attributing extreme actions to vanity, those ones that are mediocre to routine and those ones that are wretched to fear.”
Vanity. To think about being superior from the people is an error that too much people commit raising themselves to the point of "God on Earth", I wonder what is the finality of all this. Do you have a fanclub? Do you have a Street Team? Do you have a fansite? Then try to relax, calm down and stay at your place, you are no one, not yet or maybe you'll never be it. When you will die, the World won't be asked ‘what your end is’, but It will pass above your grave ignoring the existence of a pile of bones under its feet.
Habit. To judge whoever without actually knowing who is in front of us, it is a vice that too many people have to show; by now we are addicted to lie and the cruelty that surround us, we hear only what the other ones want let us to hear, we don't even ever ask the meaning of what happens, we nod and happy we wag the tail , we don't realize that often we result really piteous and rude.
Fear. The fear not to be approved from the people often instigates the weak people to dissimulate the reality showing to be more than what they are indeed, diminishing everyone else to compensate their own lacks and to make fine for his own defects that he doesn't probably see into the mirror. Our fears bring us to defend ourselves before being attached, to exaggerate, to exasperate everything, to lie, to hide ourselves behind a white wall of sugar and salt. But this wall is easy to be dirtied and as well to be destroyed, enough a nothing to discover us, and when this happens we can hope only to be enough strong to hold up the hit.
What’s the metre for the judgement of beauty?
It is not a subjective matter, unfortunately, but everything has born from a wrong ideal that is inculcated in your brain since when you were born, thin-stick = beautiful, fat-soft = horrible.
These are the judgment parameters of the future generations, in the Medieval age an abundant and soft woman was considered really beautiful, while today she is considered an alien when she reaches size 48.
Every person, in my opinion, is beautiful in their peculiar way, every person have inside of themselves a personal light that shines, of whatever typology, nationality, religion or colour , who am I to decide who is better and who is not?
H.I.M., are 5 handsome men, EVERYONE, it would be appreciated if the fans would have seen it, but if they expecially have understood it. The band’s name is not "Ville Valo & co", it’s HIM and it is composed by 5 amazing men. Every fans are free to have their own idol, but they must NEVER forget that he’s not the only one and especially he is not a piece of meat to the slaughter house.
Stop, I have their shouts that still ring in my ear, the broken breath due the barriers among my ribs, after 5 long months I can finally say:
“Ville Valo (Singer), Lily Lazer (Guitar player), Mige Amour (Bass player), Emerson Burton (Keyboardist), Gas Lipstick (Drummer), burn them into your head and read the lyrics!!”
