So as it turns out, buying shit makes you depressed. To anyone that’s a goth, this really shouldn’t come as a surprise. I can’t remember the last time getting a new album from the Cure or some Framing Hanley tracks on my iPod made me feel much better.
Apparently materialistic societies are much more depressed than non-materialistic societies. Now, I could be wrong here, but I get the feeling that education has something to do with it. Materialistic societies are modern societies and modern societies are educated. Education comes with this thing called “Geography classes”, where you sit and stare at pictures of happy naked natives who don’t know about awesome things. Awesome things like Nintendo and looking good. They don’t have them. Their friends don’t have them. Their neighbours don’t have them. Everyone’s got nothing, and looks terrible.
So people who do know about looking good and Nintendo, because their friends look good, and their neighbours have a Nintendo… They’re going to be depressed.

Q.E. fucking D.

P.S. There’s shit to buy in other posts in the blog that Ego wrote… Buy something. It’ll make you feel better.

Next up, my review on Framing Hanley. Buy their music. It’ll make you feel depressed.
