The thing is, occupy whatever is not all there is. Celebs.. um would that include Nicki Minaj.. I will guess is one.. is not all there is or all people think about. I certainly don't.. I don't even know who most celebs are nowadays. There are tons of people who have other priorities going on, just what you see on tv ..
Tv presents an perception, and paints it as majority. I think that is changing whether TV wants to realize it or not. And changes happen slowly.. but slow doesn't equal no motion.
In my real life I do know people who are not all caught up in this stuff.. I know lots of them, but they are not on tv, they are not represented in media, they could probably care less about the next top model or next pop song, but they still exist. And they are making change happen.
Maybe what we need is a longer lasting change than hippies or the like. How many hippies stayed hippies, and didn't rejoin what they left in the first place. I think we need something that doesn't also become in part just trendy. Something that will be sustained, and I don't think that will be something brought on quickly.
