What Comes After Postmodern

As someone who has learned a great deal about anthropology, I find the behavior of humans as documented on YouTube, social media, and elsewhere to be flippin' fascinating.

I will even occasionally watch "Real Housewives" episodes for the cities of Atlanta, Orange County, and New York (as well as those nanny shows, "Wife Swap," and anything involving a failing family business)--in small doses as that's all I can really handle--as a part of my "fieldwork" in my "studies" of contemporary American life, and the "savages" that may operate within it. 

And the drama !!  And the fightin'.  Fascinating.

In any case, I came across this video, and upon watching, questioned the accuracy of the title: "Insane Stage Meltdowns."

Indeed, if you are a neoprimtive thinker, you will agree that most of the behavior on display makes perfect sense when the context is taken into account.

Indeed, the words (and actions) of Billy Joel, Courtney Love, Henry Rollins, Chad Kroeger, Kurt Colbain, Billie Joe Armstrong, and Dave Grohl are only made necessary (and most often appropriate!) when considering the insanity of their overall and specific situations...

And consider this: If you are behaving so badly that HENRY ROLLINS of BLACK PLAG is offended by your behavior, you have done something wrong...
