"2001 Shades of Psycho" by Trash Juice (Funky Rock Electronica satiric music video)
One Media® presents "2001 Shades of Psycho" by Trash Juice (Funky Rock Electronica music video)
"2001 Shades of Psycho"
Funky Jazz Rock Electronica in a satirical music video juxtaposing psycho social themes from three different movies ...
One Media® humbly submits its Steemit Music League #beatbattle season two, round five (S2:R5) entry accordingly paying tribute to three EPIC MOVIE SOUNDTRACKS ...
Trash Juice recorded this tune on Monday, March 19, 2018 featuring themes from three movie soundtracks juxtaposed along with the video comprising a montage of scenes from those movies. The overarching theme of this music video relates to the theory of 'behavioral sink' in that, even as intelligent, sentient beings, most humans act upon basic survival instinct, and thus despite technological advancement and our 'sentience', the species' behavior on the whole can largely fit within mechanistic deterministic constructs as applied to the study of other social species.
Daddy issues, Mommy issues, and all sorts of other sociological and psychological pathology satirically wrapped up in one funky spanking good time...
The tune starts out with the introductory theme from Richard Strauss' Also Sprach Zarathustra which, not only was popularized in contemporary Western culture by its appearance in Stanley Kubric's 1968 film 2001: A Space Odyssey (film), but also Strauss titled the theme from Friedrich Nietzsche's philosophical novel of the same name. Most appropriately in this work, Nietzsche began an exploration of a philosophical project of 'Revaluation of All Values' appropriate here, when one considers the remaining content of this satirical music video. Unfortunately, although also fitting this present music video in its pastiche of psychological and moral contemplation, Friedrich Nietzsche suffered psychotic episodes throughout the last decade of his life.
From Strauss we next proceed to the "What are you waiting for?" lyric instrumentally voiced here, from the soundtrack of "50 Shades of Grey", a movie so popular in this present day it hardly needs description, other than to point out that its theme is one of Bondage, and Sadomasochism, Female Hypergamy, and the abuse dynamic in interpersonal relationships. Unbeknownst to perhaps the majority of its viewers, the film at least indirectly addresses Nietzsche's Revaluation of All Values by posing the question, if we may put it in vulgar vernacular, is 'marrying up' worth getting your ass routinely beat?
Finally we end up with screeching violins alluding to Alfred Hitchcock's 1960 film, 'Psycho' as the composer of the present piece thought, well, 'Daddy issues' could beget 'Mommy issues' likely through trans-generational abuse patterns, just to have a balanced perspective for both the ladies and the gentlemen in the audience. Thus we can alternately play our victim cards all the way back to Adam and Eve, and hence the present music video and this description thereof 'goes full circle' back to the opening scene from 2001: A Space Odyssey, 'Dawn of Man'.
Happy listening!

Man o man you never cease to amaze with your talents, passion, and knowledge.
Absolutely love your flowing post, You touch on so many topics and it no doubt shows how amazing your brain is :)
That intro o weee does it set the tone and then you ht us with that @onemedia brand at 0:20 and we are off.
Absolutely love how captivating the music you created in conjunction with the video you created. Holy smokes what a fully engulfing entry.
And what a trio of movies to use as inspiration o myyyyyyyy. Those violins towards the end trigger some intense emotion.
I really appreciate the time and effort you put into this entry. It shows how dedicated you are to your passion and your brand. It truly is inspiration what you do. Thank you :)
Thank you, very much. Once again, I am deeply moved by your thoughtful commentary and attention to detail when taking in an aesthetic experience.
Trying to retain my modesty in view of your "amazing...brain" comment I am pleased to hear my 'divergent thinking' is appreciated and perhaps exemplary to other creative individuals. I ponder what exactly could have been the catalyst, while tempted to jump on the "it was the psychedelics from my younger days of youthful indiscretions..." bandwagon, I wonder if it was innate, perhaps something in my childhood, I did play in bands and took curious interest in a variety of topics before ever 'dabbling' ...
Oh yes, as I search for authenticity I do find my personal diversity converging on a certain 'brand' as you put it. I appreciate your putting it in those terms, something over which I may ruminate preferably without obsessing ;-) ... Your words further engage me in the aesthetic exercise of 'extending artistic range' versus 'owning my brand' ... contemplation versus instinct, what am I waiting for? ... ;-)
What are you waiting for :))) Ayy but I am sure that is a process that fellow humans go thru as well.
Ayy your way of thinking and how you express it through words is truly extraordinary. Isn't it interesting to look back and see what a possible catalyst is. Maybe you were born with it with the Universe having a greater plan :)
And you're very welcome I know sometimes my comments are not the most technical but I try and do my part the best I can.
Thanks again for being yourself.
Ah yes, another thing to contemplate, free will versus determinism, could be a good motivator, a sense of purpose and meaning thinking the universe had it in for you all along ...
Regardless of technical insight or not, your comments provide an essential ingredient to the aesthetic experience, and are greatly appreciated!
Ayyyyyy love how you put that sounds like the beginning of an epic speech :)
Thank you kind sir appreciate you saying that.
Be happy,thanks @onemedia

Exhaling slowly, a really rough ride.
I am tempted to try it out once I have a window of opportunity ;)
The rough ones taught me the most, and it's been a long time.
Yes. Once we get these out of the system it is time to lighten up a bit ... one of these days... ;-)
