Transvision Vamp Lyrics

From Easy Rider to Star Wars
Popular culture has transitioned from traditional Westerns to space operas, with a focus on technology and futuristic themes

From Che Guevara to Laurie Anderson

From light shows to videos
The way we consume entertainment has evolved from psychedelic light shows to music videos, reflecting technological advancements

From LSD to MTV
The way we experience music has changed, moving from the psychedelic era of LSD to the visual medium of MTV

From backpack to Pac-Man
Street fashion and tastes have moved from backpacks and DIY fashion to consumerism and commercialism, with the rise of video games like Pac-Man

From the Now Generation to Hi-Tech
Young people are now part of the Hi-Tech generation, with a greater focus on technology and gadgets

From 2001 to We're number-one
The futuristic optimism of the past has given way to a more competitive, individualistic outlook
