Whenever I hear the word corporate, I get the image of indoctrinated people working on bog standard computers within an eternal sea of cubicles. Each individual works continually with no expression. They simply do the job they are assigned to. They have no personal identity, only a corporate identity. Every aspect of their being has been conditioned so they are only compatible within a corporate environment. Every aspect of their lives is an extensive marketing campaign. They eat at McDonald's. They drink at Starbucks. They sleep on furniture made by IKEA. They are part of an entity which continues to destroy until there is nothing else, all for the sole purpose of generating profit. And somewhere deep inside these people is the underlying truth that somewhere down the line they lost their humanity, and became supporters of the institutions that destroyed it...

The label given to people who open the door that sane people keep closed... the people who are consumed by the awareness of their existence, when everyone else is blind to their own... the people who can distinguish the reality of illusion from those who live the illusion of reality... etcetera
Sane person: Hey, how are we feeling today?
Insane person: To be honest, I don't know... to categorise the infinite complexity of the mind into a singular aural expression of how I feel leaves a lot to be desired...
Sane person: I'm afraid I don't understand...
Insane person: What's to understand? your mind has been saturated so much by society's ills that all you believe to be true is a lie. You are a slave to convention, and that is the reason you fail to understand the unconventional.
Sane person: Remind me to boost your medication.
Insane person: *sigh*

A machination of the corporate world. Designed to target a creative outlet and turn it into a business model, target market, key demographic, etcetera.
How the mainstream operates:
1. The mainstream is established...
2. An alternative is established to the mainstream...
3. The mainstream targets the alternative...
4. The alternative becomes the mainstream...
And therefore the alternative loses its identity, having become absorbed by the very system it was established to rally against. Mainstream for the masses...
