Don’t be a Zune

February 22nd, 2008

OK kids, we have a new BUZZ word for the day, Zune

We have decided to hijack this word to unmask the trend of fake innovation. 

Zune: To be lame; a copycat; a bad rip-off; repackaging someone else’s idea in the name of innovation.  

I have seen churches zune message series and art all the time and it needs to stop. Now this means we are held to the same standard, so call us out when needed. Zune sucked, so lets not.

    The church is inundated with Zune disease.

    Ha ha…that’s great. “Dont be a Zune!” I can see that phrase working it’s way into my conversation.

    I don’t think Microsoft ever intended the Zune to be such a flop. Just like most churches never set out to become poor, cheap imitations. But it happens when we constantly look at what other people are doing rather than challenging ourselves to use our own God-given creativity.
