Hang on, we're talking about the word zeitgeist here. Sports pundits use it, it's regularly used in tabloids. It's a twatty word, but hardly on a par with something like gesamkunstwerk is it. |

Well, Chewbacca boy was defending Radiohead, who aren't exactly Oasis when it comes to their down-to-earthness, and the word zeitgeist just sort of slipped out (I think I was lumping Thom Yorke in with Al Gore and Naomi Klein as part of some kind of eco-obsession within popular culture). Maybe I should've just stabbed the bloke when I first saw him and had done with. Anyway. I didn't even want to be talking about Thom Yorke in the first place, let alone bring in a word like zeitgeist. (I'd actually planned to spend the afternoon watching F1 on TV) But I was, and i did and thinking about it I'm glad that it happened. I'm gonna use it constantly now, whenever a similar situation arises where I'm forced to sit with blokes in their thirties that insist on wearing Star Wars T Shirts and flip flops. |

There really aren't a lot of things worth getting excited over, but there are some things.
I like those things.

Then again it's not like you're asked to get excited about EVERYTHING, are you?
Music gets me excited, sex gets me excited, my family and friends get me excited, politics get me excited etc. Why bother with people or things that you know will bore you to death? Manic depressives. |

God, I hate Gogol Bordello - Eugene "Lionel" Hutz deserves a kick in the nutsack for arseing around with Madonna. I'd rather listen to evil Serbian turbo-folk, thanks.
Anyway, back on topic - to me it's not about the zeitgeist, but the ZeitGuest:

exciting/frightening
I dare you to cross a freeway during rush hour and tell me that life isn't exciting. |
