"The presentation of the self in everyday life in the inner city is a form of theatre where identity is a role and where entropy is high..."
John Clute, in his introduction to [Michael Moorcock's] The Cornelius Chronicles (Source)
What happens when they no longer feel the need to go out into the streets and perform their identity? What happens when their lives are colonized by corporate consumer products designed to make them feel loved and desired without all the mess of becoming involved? What happens when their mind is buzzing with the cultural cacaphony that distracts them from the encroaching entropy?

It's the terror of knowing
What the world is about
Watching some good friends
Screaming 'Let me out'
Pray tomorrow - gets me higher
Pressure on people - people on streets
Queen "Under Pressure"
