You forgot to say 'no homo'.
The use of 'no homo' by RWD users is interesting. Where anyone offers any praise or positivity it is almost always followed up with 'no homo' as though it is homosexual (ie. 'bad' in the minds of most RWD users) to do so. This may be a reflection of the background of many grime fans or perhaps (or in addition) a sign of the collective psychosis I believe Westerners have been suffering since 9/11.
Denial, rather than facing up to the truth of our reality, has defined the past five years and has left us in bit of a mess. Love and genuine human spirit have become devalued and seen as weak. Revenge and destruction have risen in importance. Fear is the emotion that most defines us presently.
This situation, until fairly recently, has been encouraged by our leaders and spread throughout our populations. The retention of power and egomania are the most likely explanitions imo. Men wanting to leave their mark on history, to be studied and celebrated by their own children who will take their places. While democracy is essential, the system by which the candidates who would be our leaders are 'picked' has become grossly unfair and dangerously insular. Fifteen of the current Tory shadow cabinet all went to the same school for example.
The future is frightening and now the psychosis is lifting I think we will experience some alarming events. I'm shitting myself but at least I don't feel so alone anymore. Grime for me has been like punk in the late 70's. Something that HAD to happen, else we really sink. At least we are someway back on track, even if we are miles away from where we should be.
