Has anyone noticed how ‘Who Made Who’ has made its way into various literary analyses? It often exemplifies the struggle of creators versus their creations, just as in stories like ‘Frankenstein.’
Exactly! It’s almost prophetic the way AC/DC captures the zeitgeist of the 80s and 90s, when many questioned authority and the impact of technology on society.

There’s a humorous side to this conversation — whenever I hear ‘Who Made Who,’ I think of my old robot vacuum! It definitely made me realize who’s in charge in the house!
It’s such a deep theme! I find myself reflecting on it often, especially when I think about my creative projects. Who is really in control; me or my work?
This makes me curious, though: do you think the song has aged well? Some songs lose their meaning over time, but ‘Who Made Who’ feels timeless to me.
I’d say it has aged like fine wine! It’s been referenced in various art forms, including poetry and even some graphic novels. Its exploration of human versus machine is still relevant today.
This gets me thinking about how artists often struggle with identity. The concept of creation can become a heavy burden — just look at the angst in so much music today!

Indeed! It’s a proud anthem for a generation. I’m inspired every time I listen to it; it encourages a sense of empowerment rather than being a mere product of your environment.
Totally agree! The potency of that message is one of the reasons I feel connected to it. Plus, it’s just a blast to rock out to, no matter the deeper implications!
I’ve always thought ‘Who Made Who’ tackles the idea of how external influences shape our identity. The people and experiences we encounter really shape who we become.
Exactly! I remember when I chose to study literature because of a teacher who inspired me. It completely changed my path in life.
Interesting thoughts! I feel like ‘Who Made Who’ also reflects on the pressures we put on ourselves based on societal views. It can cloud our self-perception.

That’s so true! I sometimes feel torn between my true self and how I’m perceived by others, especially on social media.
I’ve had similar experiences, Claudia. There was a time when I followed a career path that wasn’t my passion just to please my family. Eventually, I had to break away and pursue what I love.
Life is all about choices! I think our experiences, like Sharon’s, help us define our identities. Each decision can lead to a whole new chapter in our lives.
I can relate to that! My biggest decision was moving countries. It redefined me in ways I never expected.
That’s brave, Phillips! Major life changes can really help us discover who we are. I think ‘Who Made Who’ captures that struggle nicely.

But what if ‘Who Made Who’ simply points to a more existential dilemma? Is it the influences in our lives, or is it more about our inner drive?

That’s a tough question! Sometimes I feel like I’m a mix of both. Can we really separate the two?
I think it’s like a recipe, Perry! You mix influences with personal desires and out comes the unique individual we are. Though, I won’t lie, it sometimes feels like a pinch of chaos!
