babylonian007,
I think you misinterpreted my statement about 'turning pop culture upside down'. I don't believe that particular line or the song 'Miracle Drug' will have any effect on pop culture. None. What I meant was that pop culture portrays romantic love (often in purely superficial and sexual terms) as the be-all, end-all. If you're not in love, or in bed, with someone, pop culture says that you're a boring outcast. Not all of pop culture, mind you, but a significant portion of it suggests this. The line in Miracle Drug that I referred to simply expresses a different feeling than that. I know several people who have chosen not to get married because they are passionate about helping others. I won't go into the specifics, but I think of them and their decisions when I hear 'I've had enough of romantic love/ I'd give it up for a miracle drug'.
Regarding your website, it's a bit too cynical for my tastes. It seems that you spend alot time focusing on the things that bother you. Why spend so much effort on things you perceive to be crap? Just ignore it. Spend time focusing on things you like. If you like Pantera, spend your time listening to Pantera. Make a Pantera website (if you haven't done so). Why put a bunch of effort into writing about a band you don't like? Btw, I hate NASCAR too, and I always use vi when I'm on the 'other' operating sytem!
