Hype. Our society is a hype driven society. The stock market does goes up or down because of hype. Sports teams are expected to do well because of hype. Movies are many times over hyped. In this facebook and twitter world, it seems like hype is everything.
Exit through the Gift Shop is a terrific movie about hype and how just many people are willing to buy into the hype of something. Many of us have become robots. We think this is cool or this is good because society tells us so. Our opinions are dying.
My Phillies lost yesterday. This team was suppose to win it all this year and they failed. Most things don't live up to the hype; dates, movies, events etc. The thing is when something does live up to the hype it is so special and awesome. Those are the moments in life that make life worth living.
