Musical Mutiny

Materialistic jargon, add a boisterous beat, increase the tempo to insane levels of Hz and crank the volume up. LOUD. Ladies and gents, boys and girls, I give you the formula to create a meaningless guaranteed chart-topper nowadays. Gone are the days of finding the meaning of something within something. That goosebump-inducing intrinsic message and no I don't mean the indoctrinating Illuminati kind..

I declare mutiny! To those musicians out there drumming to the beat of ingenuity, I salute you guys.
