Do not you dogs drive me, shaman? (1 - offtopic)

On the way from the Seaside "Vienna" to Moscow, on the way from Steampunk to the real world, we stopped in St. Petersburg - already real, to buy music on the road. It was evening, the night behind the wheel was ahead, and in order not to fall asleep, we needed music, and I only had a jammed Rammstein disc with me, heard on the way there.
I haven’t seen such shops for a long time - but in St. Petersburg we found a real old stall with Sidi-Dividi drives, and all for 150 (bargaining is appropriate). A stall from the 90s sold us a Niklbek disc (which I had never heard before), an Epidemic (which did not include my beloved “There Is No Death”) and a complete discography of Mill.
The mill in my head. Mill in my car. I drive in the morning, half asleep, and howl under the Mill “Far, far, oh,” I drive at night, falling asleep at the wheel, and yelling, “Forget the first sunset!” at all costs, so as not to be cut down, scaring the neighbors along the way.
And by the way, I wanted to talk about sunset ...

I climbed into the forums on the official website to understand what the Shaman song was about, I scored the issue on VKontakte, and I'm terrified. People are so amazing - they are generally not able to perceive songs as works. They are not able to perceive allegories, metaphors, recognize hidden quotes and give their meanings for the work. They do not know world culture from the word at all. Well, still, do not recognize the quote from the “Lord of the Mountain Roads” about the vine (for those who are not in the subject, there is the line “... blood goes into the sand, forget it and it will sprout with a vine” - a direct reference to Bulgakov’s “Blood long gone into the ground, and where it spilled, grapes already grow. ") But damn it, how can people not know who the Norns are? Who are the authors of the Serpent and Song of Gaetan? Highlander ?! Do not guess what the passage about warm shoulders in the “Far” symbolizes or in the same place, that the spiky candles in the dark high are the stars?
Against this background, the compassionate novice found in the diagonal section of the forum seems particularly sweet: “I just recently listened to the Feanor song of the Epidemic, but when I read it on the wiki about all these silmarils and so on, it somehow became different.”

How scary to live.
My Tasya yesterday asked me what "culture" is. We went to bed before watching TV channels in search of interesting cartoons, didn’t find anything and got hooked on some concert on the Culture channel, and the child wondered what that word was (I think we should give her a dictionary or some book from the "I want to know everything" area). Frankly, I did not immediately find a definition that is understandable for the five-year period. But I picked it up: culture is what people create for beauty. We discussed the differences between function and beauty using an example of an old Chinese lantern and charging music, and she seems to have figured it out.
So, culture is what is for beauty. And you can not take this culture flatly, literally in the spirit: "Why did the words suddenly appear in the palm of your hand and turn to dust? Of course, this image is like that ... But the topic has not been disclosed even once." (This is a direct quote from the forum, btv, there is still a lot of funny things), but you can’t even know it. If you don’t know where the legs grow from history, who Rapunzel is, and how the Disney character differs from the fairy-tale character (I hate Disney!), If you don’t know how hallelujah and hosanna are translated - what the fuck do you know ?!

Here is what I will say. Young people are insidious and negligent. They will never be like the youth of the past. The younger generation of today is not able to preserve our culture.
Trouble, trouble!
