Lets take this in a new direction, if anyone feels up to it. We've been talking about the govt. and The State influence and what not.

So, how about the role of pop culture in this so called "wussification?" I'm talking anywhere from the damnable EMO trend to the the birth of the "metrosexual." Listening to commercial radio these days is enough to drive me to the point of insanity, Rock replaced with the pointless whining lyrics of whatever generic pop/punk band the record companies have foisted on us now.

Whatever happened to hardcore teenage angst?
