...before commenting in an ignorant fashion.
Since you don't watch the Colbert Report (a show whose very title is pronounced ironically), you probably won't get the irony of a word like 'truthiness'.
Slang has always been a hugely important part of English, and the new slang isn't any better or worse than the slang you learned when you (ostensibly) learned the language. I actually find British slang to be more bizarre and faddish than the American sort, even that which comes from rap music / American black culture.
Loathe as I am to employ such an overused cliche, the phrase 'rearranging deck chairs on the Titanic' springs to mind, here.
The 'record industry' is irrelevant - it just doesn't know it, yet.
Even before I clicked on the comments to this post, I knew that there would be at least one (1) Right-Wing Nutjob comparing the Democratic Party to the Nazi Party, effectively rendering this entire thread Godwinised.
Being right all the time is such a burden.
