Shia LaBeouf on Music

"My generation will actually be the first generation that is tamer than the one that came before it, and it will probably be poorer; less fun and less money. It's ridiculous. In my parents' generation, rebellion was pop culture. It's not anymore. You can see it in something as simple as where their music was at and where ours is now. If you look at our Billboard Top 100, a lot of those songs on there are from Christian country artists. A lot of rappers, too, are very Christian. The fact that [religion] is even still talked about is kind of wild to me. I think my generation understands it, but they are too selfish to let it matter."

Disenchanted world view or surprisingly poignant assessment? Indiana Jones Jr., you never cease to amaze me...

  1. however, dear Shia seems to forget that Billboard charts are largely unreflective of society's music taste, as we are all bitchin' little pirates.
