hyperbaly gone too far

words in our society are very common place as it should be, and it is  to our benefit that it is so, how we chose our words and our powerful declaration to emphatically make statement however comes with both the good and the bad. Now i can go on about offensive language and the things we should and should not say, but i think that the majority at large already knows what is and what is not acceptable language, and in certain situations knows the words that we should and shouldn't say. this particular blog post in particular is about the constant need of hyperbole which is shown now more than ever as an often used and  overall effectively seen practice. Let me know if any of these scenarios sounds familiar, you go to a movie and after it's over you hear the group next to you say how epic it was, which is fine if there is no doubt about how remarkable of a film it is but why can't it just be considered great, moving or even just very good.
It doesn't end there with movies however have you ever heard of a review of an album with the word incredible attached on to it's synopsis along with five other albums having the same word used to describe it,which makes you wonder does the latest album you heard have to be incredible why can't it just be really good or just simply nice in terms of an enjoyable listening experience. My problem is not necessarily with people's opinions or with these words it's with the over usage of them diminishing the true value of what that word signifies and the importance that it holds
Words that should be used for precious and valuable things,  on special occasions for incredible works or art get lumped in often times with good content, that while being effective in it's purpose to entertain is not as prestigious as something that is truly masterful or phenomenal in it's end result. By using something too much it tends to start losing it's value, diminishing it's luster in the process and with entertainment in particular it can place a potential skepticism on the true and deserved warranted praise that something should ultimately receive. The true greatness of something is truly subjective based off of your own appreciation for it, the value that you place upon it, and and the universal love that it compiles it is those qualities that make something incredible, outstanding, and Amazing.
 There have been many things that we all love, that we all get an unforgetable feeling from and that makes our day, but there is a fine line difference between an enjoyable and good nostalgic album and an all time classic. Differentiating from what good and what's great, what's enjoyable and what's unforgetable, helps put works of art into it's proper context all while squaring it up perfectly for it's rightfully viewed framework all while shedding the proper praise to it's conclusive greatness,value and impact.
