Not so much exploit it as recognise that it does exist in society
through the social dialogue/social discourse that is music (the new
poetry!?). I mean, I think weezer are just about the only all boy
band I know that sing about their experiences with lesbianism, a
concept that has been around a bit longer than the internet. Doesn't
anyone else think that's strange. It's not like we don't have contact
with lesbians (or whatever) in our society, so why not integrate
the ideas and culture, be it sexuality, internet, grrrl, into the
discourse, so we stop looking at these things as 'weird' and just as
things that we will have to accept exist and deal with.
