Again, I find myself posting about a band. But this group, Wu Lyf (World Unite Lucifer Youth Foundation) recently came out with a music video for their song We Bros:
The lyrics are about industrialization and how we are becoming so dependent on money and material goods. I know it's difficult to understand what he's saying, so here's a link to the lyrics: http://www.songmeanings.net/songs/view/3530822107858872801/
I'm posting the movie because it depicts a group of young adults which are disheveled and seem to be running away from something. Then the very final shot is of this smog-filled sky line full of dreary sky-scrapers and factories.
I think that again this depicts an aspect of modern cults.
Because they are obviously escaping something and are being blocked by this metal fence
(a metaphor you can interpret as you like, but in the context of a cult is guilt and shame by the leader)
I think that you could categorize what they are running from as a group which could hold cultic qualities.
Especially recently with the Occupy movement it has come to many peoples consciousness how controlling our government and economy are. We are deceived and manipulated, like members of a cult.
I am not saying that you can classify our government or the world economy as a cult at all, I just think it's interesting that these forms of controlling groups are coming out in modern media and culture.
