In an essay called "The Death of Subculture," Aaron Rose (director of Beautiful Losers and co-curator of MoCA's record-smashing exhibit Art in the Streets) makes an impassioned call to arms, urging the next generation of artists to end the collage era by adopting a philosophy of creative innovation.

Lyrics:
Possessed by something in the wind.
They
watch me like I'm a threat to them.
With implants deep below their skin.
They laugh 'cause some refuse a PIN.
[chorus]
[chorus]
Sounds like a riot choking the highway.
With stun guns, smoke, and sirens on display.
[chorus]
Remember when no one danced the same.
We all had a voice, we had a name.
We're gold that's as bright as hell's own flame.
Forgive me, for i have
lost my way.
Dripping in blood, waiting for your return.
Dripping in blood, waiting for your return.
In repetition hall of the
nocturne.
Where we're going to, you can't bring all your worth.
Oh raise me up, oh raise me from the dirt.
Oh raise me up, oh raise me from the dirt.
Each second is a high point
of concern.
Where we're going to, you can't bring all your worth.
