"As {Huxley} saw it, people will come to love their oppression, to adore the technologies that undo their capacities to think." - Neil Postman

the love kills theory is based on an amalgam of the works of Guy Debord, founder of Situationist International, Aldous Huxley, and others, fused with the current bio-genetic studies on the evolution of despair.

In the spirit of Dylan Thomas, the love kills theory was formed as a desperate, and most likely futile, struggle against the demise of art in popular culture. The regression that has taken place in all mediums could not have come about without a complicit and intellectually lazy audience who require less and less in terms of content, but grow ever more impatient with their demands for immediate gratification. Combine this with the fact that the desire for exposure among most performers has preceded any sense of need for content or substantive message and you have all the ingredients necessary to produce a cultural wasteland.

As their name implies, the love kills theory is not so much a band as it is a manifesto. Society has reached a point in its development where the pursuit of the things we love � indulgence in all of its forms � is killing us by making us all soulless consumers. If art can't be resurrected, at least the reasons for its death will be documented in their songs.

The petty details of the history of the band and its members and assorted accolades are irrelevant filler.
