Although I would not elevate it to the status of fear or hatred, I can think of at least two reasons that people dislike commercialism: One reason is the blatant way that certain innapropriate products would get marketed to kids (who, many would say, ARE more succeptable) like when they would use cartoons in an add or put in some type of sickly sweet candly flavoring. The other reason is the sheer number of adds that people get bombarded with on a daily basis.Ireadan interestingarticle onthis...
The idea of commercials selling body image or promising that buying their product will bring you whatever form of happiness (family, beauty, sex, etc) is one that has become so cliched that it has extended into hyperbole in many commercials. Axe body spray comes to mind as an example, or the Old Spice one with LLCoolJ (wow, blast from the past there). As an aside have you seen Gem's space video of this song? Sex sells.
Thank you. This is a PERFECT example of who They are,or were,in many cases. We all led lives trying to conform,to adapt,and in her rebellious way,Jem states in her song that she is fed up with it all,and protests in the ultimate manner by committing suicide. At least that's what i get in the song.
fantastic job. video cutting was very well done. even if one doesn't agree with the message, you have to admit the video was well put together. also is a much better video for the song than the original...
I've never understood the instinctual fear/hatred of advertisement, commercialism, or materialism. A commercial is a service, nothing more than a medium through which to spread the word about a product or service. It does not indoctrinate you into any one school of thought, unless you are so weak-minded that you can be brainwashed by a ten-second soap ad. The public school system does much more than any advertisement firm ever could to plant ideas in our heads. Nevertheless, great video.
this video is tippy as fuck when your high

Song fits the video wonderfully, and I can always condone a vid showing the shallow nature of commercials.
