I watched a great video earlier. Here it is. Don't worry, it's safe for work/parents/children/whatever. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AIxY_Y9TGWI
This video, by focusing on the music side of things, wonderfully sums up why corporate life drives me crackers. It's all so insincere and pointless. None of it matters. And yet the people involved seem to feel the need to role-play it being important. I seriously doubt any of them really give a shit though.
It's not just working corporate life that this stuff infests, though; it's everyday life. The stuff Tantacrul shows us in that video is just as true for advertising as it is for internal corporate videos. Mindless, soulless, pointless. Nonsensical. Irrelevant statement. That's why we believe something that is nothing to do with the irrelevant statement we just vomited out.
I appreciated that video, though. Modern corporate music had been bugging me for a while, but I had been struggling to express exactly what it was about it that bugged me. Tantacrul is an actual musician, so he was able to explain the musical clichés that go into making this nonsense. And now I'm in two minds as to whether or not this music is going to annoy me more or less now I know exactly what it's doing!
You have to laugh, really, don't you. The alternative doesn't seem to help.
