The world is really run by the Web. There's so much information out there that you can click and keep going down the rabbit hole finding stuff.

I listen to all types of music so I'm influenced by everything.

The sheep-people don't think for themselves anymore. You can say anything and it's the gospel truth and they don't have to go research it or anything, and they believe everything the news tells them. People don't go and do their own investigations if it's relationships or politics or anything.
