A Woman’s World Online

I’ve decided to talk a lill’ about a trend that has shaken our city and more precisely the minds of the teenagers who wanna stand out from the crowd: MINIMALISM.

So… what Wikipedia , the laaaaaaargest encyclopedia online, says is that Minimalism describes movements in various forms of art and design, especially visual art and music, where work is stripped down to its most fundamental features. In art music of the last 35 years, the term minimalism is sometimes applied to music that displays some or all of the following features: repetition (often of short musical phrases, with minimal variations over long periods of time, ostinati) or stasis (often in the form of drones and long tones); emphasis on consonant harmony; a steady pulse; hypnotic effect.

What should minimal be… ? It should be a intelligently thought genre of house music.Very intelligent through its simplicity. Deep bass, sweet effects and a well done build up. The songs that have pieces that are repeated have a great success among minimal people. Aren’t people a little imbecile because they can listen to repetitive stuff? I don’t have any explanation, but anyway, there isn’t any point in giving one.

Minimal is an adored word for minimal people. You can eat minimal, think minimal breathe minimal and most important, see everything in a minimalistic way. Minimal culture can’t exist without its gangs of minimal people minimized at the minimum. Minimal is a misunderstood art. The person who listens to minimal music is not a houser, not even a trancer , he’s the one and only admirer of minimal, a way of living wide-spread by some nice guru named generically an artist. Minimal music is listened by drug addicts with turkey haircuts who are under 18. Some of them listen to minimal just because it’s in the latest trend. But how can you dance in a minimal way? Everyone has to dance as if you would have to unbind some pickle jars wearing “head kerchiefs” around their necks, sunglasses covering 3 quarters of their faces , looking up to unbide more jars. This is the funniest thing to see at minimal persons. They don’t care about anyone around while they’re dancing . They don’t look at each other. They are simply there… alone…unbinding jars ;)). >>>>>> This is what some people threatened by this new trend believe about Minimal.

And the answer from a devoted minimal person may be : “The idea of minimalism . It includes, by definition, any music that works with limited or minimal materials: pieces that use only a few notes, pieces that use only few words of text, or pieces written for very limited instruments, such as antique cymbals, bicycle wheels, or whiskey glasses. It includes pieces that sustain one basic electronic rumble for a long time. It includes pieces made exclusively from recordings of rivers and streams. It includes pieces that move in endless circles. It includes pieces that set up an unmoving wall of saxophone sound. It includes pieces that take a very long time to move gradually from one kind of music to another.”

If only there really was a real minimal listener…. Nowadays teenagers claim to be emo, minimal, punk, so on … Just because it’s “ trendy” :))))))) You’re not cool if you don’t wear big sunglasses, dye your hair so as to look like a rainbow, wear black and purple clothes with polka dots and checkered stuff and not to forgeeeet: Converse! Why can’t people be themselves … express their personalities in their own way and not follow each others like geese???

Who can understand them anymore? They always let you into something, they flirt with you, they hit on you in the most interesting way ever, and after some time (like a month or two), after all this, after you having all your hopes high in the sky and flying, you are brought down to earth in the most dreadful way imaginable: HE HAS A GIRLFRIEND. At first you are shocked. Then you say: Heh, what the hell, I should have expected that to happen. After which you start to see how happy the new couple is. Then you get angry. Then you get sad. Then you fall in the deepest depression you have ever had. It’s normal. It only depends on you to get out of that state.

How you might get out of that state, being given the fact that you are in the I-don’t-want-any-more-relationships-for-a-long-time stage? Simple. Get out with friends, flirt a little, have fun, laugh, smile, hang out wherever you want to the whole night, then come home, have a shower and crash into bed, sleeping until sundown. It’s a very relaxing way to get out of depression, I’ll tell you. If that doesn’t work, then you are in three-inch deep bullcrap. That’s a hell of a situation. What is to do then? Well, the only thing is to find yourself a guy…

And there you go again. You can never find the right guy, I can tell you that. Just when you thought you had him, something has to happen to ruin it all. It’s just everyone’s daily life. It’s not a nice feeling to see tumbling down a month’s work or more, and your psychological sanity depreciating by every day which passes. But you have to try to make yourself feel good. Just flirt, you may never know where the rabbit might come out from. There are rabbit holes everywhere. But remember this: don;t let yourself consumed by depressive states. It’s bad for you. Yes, I know it’s hard to do it, but it’s just you. Go out, have fun, take into consideration all possibilities. The world is full of men. And yes, I know you’ve attached to the ones in your past, but you can’t blame them for going on with their lives…

The seventies. The decade in which soul music was in its highest peak, afro hair-styles - with these contrasting the punk-rock movement from United Kingdom. I consider the seventies as being a decade of exaggeration, of contrasts, which has its roots in the hippie movement from the sixties.

In fashion, this decade was the one of Kenzo Takada and Sonia Rykiel, with worldwide influences. There was a mixture of Western and Oriental folk influences in Kenzo’s creations, this way attracting young people to buy these clothes. Rykiel’s style was dominated by knitted garments, dark blacks, rhinestones, long boa-like scarves, and little crocheted hats.

Also, the seventies being the era of punk music, the fashion took another turn in London. it was all about the fetishistic accessories found at Vivienne Westwood’s SEX and pieces of clothing with black rubber and steel studs. To these add ripped T-shirts, Red Indian hair-do’s, bondage trousers, chains and Doc Martens, and you have yourself a cute little seventies anarchistic punker.

In the United States, women began to wear mostly jeans, the midi-length skirts myth started to fade away and be rejected by any, so the overall direction of fashion was towards simplification and longer skirts. The general tendency was towards creating unisex styles in fashion. But still, one could not destroy so easily a woman’s charm…even when she dresses boy-like.

Other names connected to the seventies you have probably heard of now and then are Giorgio Armani and Nino Cerruti. The first one released his first collection for women and 1975, and the other in 1976, two years later also releasing a perfume.
