[QUOTE="Luckysingh, post: 192385, member: 16886"] I think there is a lot to be said about zombies and popular culture. Zombies have been quite popular for quite some time. Games, movies, books, comics, fashion ..etc.. all seem to have some zombie element to it. It's funny how this topic came up because I have often had this conversation with my kids and discussed how we had the huge trend of robots before they were born.0:) In a way I think that popular culture and what ever comes at the forefront is usually some kind of expression from the [I]subconscious[/I] of society. Zombies are basically the living dead, or dead corpses that have been woken by some kind of voodoo. They have no feelings, emotions and are in a way like a plague such that whoever they touch or come in contact with becomes a zombie. I think this is kind of what the apocalypse refers to. I know that anyone trying to produce or make a game, ipad app, movie or book is only going to get some serious attention if there is some kind of zombie element involved. Remember the dark drugged heroin eyes on the fashion catwalks in 90's ?? Well, now we have had the glamourized zombie look as well and it is still happening. Then we have had the associated fashions of skulls, bones wrapped in marks of love and peace from the likes of fashion designers like Christian Audiger, Ed hardy, Versace..etc. In fact, zombie seems to be a metaphor associated with communism and the society feeling mentally oppressed from what I personally make of it. Even a simple public protest is termed a ''zombie march'' ! [I]REMEMBER[/I]- How in the 80's and 90's everything associated with ROBOTS was so popular culture ?? We had robots every where!! Robots on TV shows and games shows like dusty bin on 321, Metal mickey and Dr Who...etc... Then we had the Robotic dancing that lead to the invention of Michael Jackson's moonwalk and then Body-popping, break dancing and the associated hip hop with electro dance, movies like 'Beat street and 'Breakdance' We even had a dose of zombies in MJ's 'Thriller'' back then as well, but it waited for it's day which is now. There was so much more with movies like Terminator, Alien, Independence day ...etc... Society loved it because that is how they felt they were being treated by goverments and authorities. [I]They felt like an overworked, abused and used slave like society of robots. Subconsciously, this made everyone feel that they could relate to them.[/I] Hollywood tried to hang on to this robot culture and I think that Will Smith's Men in Black series and IRobot were the last few remainders until they found the newer market of Zombies !!! Anyway, now we have a society that relates to zombies.- A society highly dependent on drugs from a young age. A society that feels goverments and authorities feed us poisons and additives in foods and medicines. A society that feels all the shortcuts manufacturers take by using cheaper preservatives in foods, making longer life shelf foods, pumping up chickens and meats....etc... are All coming back to haunt us in some suffering of disease and cancers later in life. Dead and mindless corpses operating on some voodoo like supplements and chemicals is the overall and general impression in the subconscious. And then, more importantly, a society that wants to come back like the dead zombies and zombify or spread the plague amongst those who oppressed them originally. ''You can't finish and kill us'' seems to be the message and ''We shall come back to haunt'' is what they are shouting. I'm sure the list can go on and on, but my point is that society seems to relate to this idea of zombies just like they did with robots back in 80's and 90's. All the above is just my own general information that I have deduced on this matter and from the trends I see happening on the streets and media. [/QUOTE]
