Self indulgent sh*te, both songs.
Got X Factor saying follow your dream and you can acheive anything, which is not necessarily true, then you have RATM who are saying we are being controlled by the ruling class burgoisse.
I'm afraid the truth lies in the middle, of course people have obstacles put in their way, but it is also true that people shape their own lives, have their own ideas (however people try to change them). People choose to still read the s*n for instance when they know it is total sh*te, then whinge about being manipulated.
As for the Facebook group, it became obvious that people were in it to make themselves feel important, and to look "cool" as they were part of a revolutionary act, which most probably don't fully understand what they are protesting against.
Should just be left for people to decide, no gangs/cults/sects/groups, just left for the most popular track to be number one, which probably would be Cowell and the X factor. Why? Cos people like to here songs of hope, rather than neice rock music. Teens, mums and Grans, that is basically how the christmas number one is decided.
