New Mythologies


I think that new mythologies are not as likely to develop from the
thinking intellectual and literary populations as from semiliterate
and poorly media-acculturated. Prison populations and 'hoods', barrios
and ghettos produce more myth and effective change than scientists,
academics, or think tanks. Look, for example at the mythic
attraction of youths to gangs and drugs! http://www.gangsorus.com/ganghistory.html

What about hip-hop culture?

These are like the tips of icebergs in our cultural seas.
