For my final essay, I would like to write about song “Ize of the World” by the Strokes. The song is off of their album “First Impressions of Earth”, and the album as a whole criticizes behavior that has been normalized and touches upon how humanity has lost connection to nature by focusing on concepts like vanity, greed, and narcissism. The song itself, on the surface, asks where humanity went wrong. It touches upon the idea that humanity has chosen to sacrifice their instincts for the sake of order, but somewhere along the way, the order turned into a form of organized chaos.
