| The Cult - where the private life is reborn, in secret. The best our culture has ever had to offer is the underground, which has been made into a kind of scrap heap for everyone who finds it difficult to blend in with the crowd. This is the only place where we can create an epoch, a subculture, or whatever you might like to call it. It can be a very sweaty place, because it’s only down there that you’re allowed to play with your deepest fantasies. The audience finds it’s own way to the subculture which most appeals to their own, hidden talents. What do they want? What will they give? There, under the thin veneer of culture, your own private culture exists. This is a culture that doesn’t question your other superficial cultural tendencies. Here, it’s all about something completely different, here it’s our own taboos that are in question, here we can begin to talk about angst, and later about pain, and here the private life is reborn, in secret. It is your desire that drives you forward, and it’s your feelings of angst that keep you from achieving your dreams. |
