Unfair-ism

It has always bothered me slightly that 'Modernism' is a term. Because, of course, modern has another meaning altogether and how do you know if people are speaking of the cultural/artistic movement or something happening right now or in the very recent past?

In retaliation, I feel we should adopt Current-ism to describe our own cultural period. Then, in twenty years or so, people will go: "Ah, this David Hare play, this TV show 24, this tortured song by Justin Timberlake discussing the loss and regain of sexiness- it's all so Current." And people will say: "What? When?"

Love it.

In other news, I fell in love with 24 last night. I suppose with my rampant television addiction, it was bound to happen sooner or later.
