"Welcome to the New Age:" United State of Pop 2013 (Living the Fantasy)

The amalgamated fantasies of youth for 2013. Some will just live it. Most will just continue to live in their parent's basement.

Advertising signs they con
You into thinking you’re the one
That can do what’s never been done
That can win what’s never been won
Meantime life outside goes on
All around you

D.J. Earworm Mashup did a terrific job combining 25 greatest pop hits in 2013. I wonder if each year can be combined like this for study of recurring themes for young adults ?
A young person reviewing all the years would see the recurrent themes and not waste so many years "rebelling, living the fantasy, living the new age, all eyes on us " etc.

Thanks for the mix of old and new on your site.
