A quote by David Moore.

David Moore: “Ours is a gene­ra­tion overwhel­med by frus­tra­tion, unrest, dread, and tra­gedy. Fear is wholly per­va­sive in Ame­ri­can society, but we manage nonethe­less to build our defen­ses in subtle ways– we scoff at arbi­trary, color-coded ‘threat’ levels; we receive our infor­ma­tion from come­dians and laugh at poli­ti­cians. Upon the turn of the 21st cen­tury, we have come to know our iso­la­tion well. Our self-imposed soli­tude ren­ders us poli­ti­cally and spi­ri­tually inert, but rather than take steps to heal our emo­tio­nal and exis­ten­tial wounds, we have cho­sen to revel in them. We con­sume the affec­ted martyr­dom of our pur­por­ted idols and spit it back in moc­king defiance. We for­get that ‘emo’ was once deri­ved from emo­tion, and that in our buying and selling of per­so­nal pain, or the cyni­cal appro­xi­ma­tion of it, we feel nothing.”
