C. Ize of the World - The
Strokes (2006)
For the first
time when we read this lyrics, it's confusing to characterize this
song into the theories that we have learned before, its pretty
tricky to say weather it is suitable in jameson's or adorno's
theory. We are digging more information from the internet about this
song, and here we are,
'
Your mind would wander and search
For its place in the
night.
Your body followed this feeling like following light.
Once that your music was born it followed you 'round'
it looks like You're lost, searching for your place in the world, and this feeling it could be your desire in something that you trying to get.

An egg to
fertilize,A pulse to stabilize,
A child to criticize,
Young adults to modernize,
Citizens to terrorize,
Generations to desensitize'
A child to criticize,

It Looks like
the life of modern society, all the things that we do because of
society's expectations. Like having children, get a job, the way of
teeneger that living in modern era, the term 'Citizen to terrorize'
we think that because of terorism that happened when this song's
made, or it could be that war still happened, and in some countries
that the resident have to struggling to live in peace, or it could
be the citizen is the victim of the capitalist
"Are
we... are we done?"
A desk to
organize,
A product
to advertise,
A market
to monopolize,
Movie
stars to idolize,
Leaders to
scandalize,
Enemies to
neutralize,
No time to
apologize,
Fury to
tranquilize,
Weapons to
synchronize,
Cities to
vaporize'.
Those lyrics
showed what capitalist did in this world, They can do anything for
more, more and more income. They can change anything into benefit
for their income., and it's scary knowing the capitalist's power,
that getting stronger, and what they can do in economic system in
general.
- Based on our Understanding, the most suitable theory to this song is Adorno's theory, For Adorno, modern art is negative on different levels, and it is good to have negative thingking to opposite the real world, and art is the way to critiques the society. His theory also can be used to criticize the socio-Economic problem, like in this song.
