That's a good test for dating girls.  Get them wet and see what they look like without the pancake of makeup on.   I usually prefer girls who wear less makeup or no makeup myself.  I hate fakeness.

You come across as pretentious in a lot of your posting (no offense, honestly), and it has a tendency to rub me the wrong way when it comes to a topic such as this.  I've known many people who have been really really depressed in their lives, have turned to medicine (or drugs) to cure it, and it makes the situation worse.  On top of the depression, they then have a chemical dependency, which never makes the situation better.

I guess I really didn't like how you tried to simplify depression and make it seem like people make a bigger deal out of it than it really is.  There are those that do, but unfortunately there's not always a good way of telling if someone is doing that or not.  It's a tough situation to deal with for those looking in on that person as well.  There are those people who do it for the attention.  And then there are those who are actually asking for help.  And then you have those who keep it inside, and those people, depending on how good they deal with it, can go any number of ways, some of them good and productive, music for example, some of them destructive, such as suicide, murder, self-destruction, ruining a family etc. 

You bring up a good point about friends.  But sometimes the problem is having a friend who is always depressed and doesn't do a fucking thing to move on.  They don't actually try to get better, and try to move on with their lives.  Instead they may cling to a past event like it's some cherished possession, and it then comes to own them and greatly impact every aspect of their life.  There's a certain point when the friends get tired of the bullshit and decide that they can't give anything else.  It's like being at a party and having that one person who's constantly saying, "I don't think you should do that", "How about we go home, I'm tired" all night long. 

As for the occasional depression, you find out who the true friends in your life are.  They're the ones who stay close to you and help you see your way through it. 

And your fake friends tell you to go see a shrink or a doctor to take care of it.  They can't possibly be worried about your problems as that would mean they might see something reflected in you about themselves, and sometimes it's too painful for them to face the reality of who they are.

Fucked up world isn't it?  I've sure found out pretty quickly who my true friends were.

This one is slightly difficult as well. 

But I'm a bigger Soundgarden fan, so I vote for that one.

He makes fun of himself in the song and video as well.  It's making fun of all celebs, including himself. 

Music videos in general now are stale and rarely fresh.  This one is no different.

They may be rich now, but there was a time when they didn't have shit in life.  They have every right to sing/rap about that.  Unfortunately, there are plenty of people out there who grew up with a silver spoon in their mouth but try to pull the same shit.  Eminem is one who actually had it hard in life.  I think it's unfair to discredit him for rapping about it just because a bunch of fakers decided they wanted to in an attempt to get street cred.  Eminem has street cred.  He's one of those who have a right to rap about it.
