Fake news apocalypse

Trivia

Originally supposed to be a joke song called "Vergogna finiamola fate girare", I ultimately decided to write a much more aggressive, pissed off tune, feeling myself pretty angry and pissed off around that time. The result is pure, unhinged grindcore chaos.

Lyrics deal with the plague of fake news, amateur pseudo-information, and the way "independent" media has found its way to sell pure bullcrap through the web to a passive audience that used to watch the news without questioning, and now all of a sudden believe themselves to be "super-smart" and "enlightened" by this cheap pseudo-counter-information, oftentimes no less biased than mainstream media.

Lyrics

Fake news apocalypse

Clickbait holocaust

Spreading misinformation

And cognitive bias

Once there was mainstream media

We all listened passively

Now we have the Internet

And we just do the same

Death of information

For our lack of critical sense

Internet makes us equal

As professionalism dies

Conspiracy theories

The truth they're hiding us

Click here to see what's going on

Share if you're pissed off

A professional journalist cannot

Be put on par with an amateur

If mainstream media can be biased

Then what about "independent media"?

Fact-check your fucking sources

Don't ruin your credibility

By sharing blatantly fake shit because

It suits your fucking agenda
