To me, the great similarity between contemporary music and contemporary American life is an incongruity between massive effort and potentially subverted ends. The effort is something to be celebrated in itself, and sometimes the ends are too, but there is a danger in thinking that effort can be substituted for ends. Everything (including effort) must have a direction, and that direction must inevitably change. 

​

At the end of the day, I'm not sure if this is serious music written in a silly way or vice versa.
