wtf, i never understood how people can analyse so much in arts... You would be an excellent art critic, but i guess you're not an amateur.

5/5 for the interpretation of this 1/5 music

5/5, this is hilarious.

+1 extra point for making someone (Christmastaflex) rage at you too. Well done.

B- for novelty Mr. Show but I don't think you've quite convinced me that Ke$ha is talking about the exact opposite. Ke$ha is no nihilist, that's the agreement among the philosophical community. She's an existentialist. As such she believes that there is meaning in merely existing. She defines her own meanings for existence in this cold cosmos because she is only capable of viewing the world from her own perspective.

As for the absurdity of the video, I had always assumed that she was parodying the hedonistic tendencies of today's youth.

OK, you think it’s all an image — well that’s so not true. I would hope to come off as a walking celebration of f**k off irreverence and youth and fun.
— Kesha

http://quotekiss.com/kesha-quotes/

You can see that in the video, at 2:29, when Ke$ha falls, she falls into the loving embrace of dancing teenagers. She does not die. In the aftermath we see an explosion of cosmic proportions. Now many including Kant, believed that this enlightenment came from death, but Ke$ha is not known for believing in knowledge carrying over death. In fact Ke$ha is known for her unique of spritual reincarnation epistemology.
I’m pretty sure that I was JFK in my past life
-Ke$ha on how she is a born leader to today's youth

http://keshaweb.com/2010/04/keha-interview-magazine-scans.html

Ke$ha is saying that she has reached enlightenment that she can define her own purpose in life, and that that purpose can be as silly as living as a drunken dancing teenage youth.

Lose your mind. Lose it now. Lose your clothes In the crowd. Were delirious. Tear it down til the sun comes back around.
-Kesha


[image loading]
And Please Mr. Show, use some sources next time. You should know by now that we do not tolerate such such unconvincing displays of evidence.

edit: I am sorry Mr Show, upon a second reading of your essay, I've realized what you were saying...
A+...
I think in our modern age technology has evolved to become more addictive. The things that don't give us pleasure aren't used as much. Work was never meant to be fun, but doing it makes us happier in the long run.

Ahh, I love it when we make assumptions about people we know nothing about. For the record, I didn't like "the Stranger." I thought "the Plague" did everything "the Stranger" did, but with more subtlety and better. But no, go on. I am really curious to know what else you know about me so well. Do I wear all black, and hang out at Starbucks with a beret on all the time?

This just reminds me of how I would read between the lines in a similar but somewhat more academic fashion in my AP Lang class and draw conclusions I'm sure the author, or in this case artist (if her heavily editted, produced music can be seen as art), does not intend to present.

I hope the people getting worked up over this joke blog aren't being serious. I thought it was funny. That's all I asked of it, and I'm sure that's all the author intended.

I don't know what you're talking about. I came here to have a serious discussion about the existential themes in Ke$ha. O_o

This is the philosophy section of TL, right?

This reminds me of an analysis of Friday by Rebecca Black on it's implications on the narcissistic aspects of life and death (Front seat or back seat? Which one will I choose?)

4/5 for the song analysis and 5/5 for the debate.

Ironic, yes, but not very funny.

Further ironic is that I happened to have Nietzsche opened up in another tab.

Incorrect. This WAS funny.

What surprises me is that people are trying to counter-argue with the OP to convince him that the Ke$ha song is actually meaningless pop music. Like, duh. I thought a web community made up of geniuses would've "got it".

art = the use of skill and imagination in the creation of aesthetic objects, environments, or experiences that can be shared with others.


cant see any of it in kesha and her products.

pointless debate and analysis. well it might get OP some grades for his high school project for sure but not anything further lol.

Seriously though, why does everyone assume that because I mention Nietzsche I am in high school? I'm not, but even if I was, that is some age-ism right there, and I don't like it. Age should be irrelevant to any sort of debate or analysis.

And art is subjective!

Skeptics should note that the meaning of a work of art does not necessarily coincide with the creator's intent - art is all about the conclusions that we can personally draw from it.

Awesome OP. the pictures were the masterstroke, lol. One criticism: "Morallessness" isn't a word... I think you're looking for "amorality."
