Juvenescent Beat!

Dionysian Revivalism: Explanation and Intent


In order to combat the Three Plagues that are named Nihilism,
Mediocrity, and Monotony in the wasteland of Suburbia, Juvenescent
Beat! recognizes and adheres to the following tenants, which shall be
hereafter known as the Manifesto of the Dionysian Revival:


I) To free youth culture from the shackles of image and monotony.
In an indifferent society that demands homogeny and conformity, we
strive to be a beacon of liberation from the prison of
self-consciousness, a bright oasis in the wretched desert of routine.


II) To strike down each and every preconceived ideal that
tenaciously cling like gnawing worms to our hearts and minds. The musty
idols of religion, culture, even music - all must be dismembered and
deconstructed.

III) To create an “Anti-Populist” culture, as demonstrated by the lack
of a regimented dress code and Individualist Ethics. We do not seek to
identify with the “common man” or his precious “working class”. What
does the common man, whose very identity is dependent upon conformity,
have to do with our radical and iconoclastic agenda?


IV) To personalize our revolution and return it to its primacy by
means of catharsis, the most immediate form of liberation at the
disposal of the individual. Complete and utter upheaval in society
cannot attain completion without first occurring in the individual.

V) To maintain a sense of danger, excitement, and urgency within our
aural revolution. Suburbia and the Bourgeois parent culture has imposed
sterility, and impotence upon the canvas of modern existence and
expects the Youth to abide by these values. If we are to reclaim
ourselves and our collective, cultural identity, new paths must be
forged and old ones re-envisioned.
