Degeneration theory
Social Degeneration was a widely influential concept at the interface of social and biological science in the 19th century. Degenerationists feared that civilization might be in decline and that the causes of decline lay in biological change. These ideas derived from pre-scientific concepts of heredity with Lamarckian emphasis on biological development through purpose and habit. Degeneration concepts were often associated with authoritarian political attitudes, including militarism, racial science, and fears of national decline. The theory originated in racial concepts of ethnicity, as recorded in the writings of such medical scientists as Johann Blumenbach and Robert Knox. From the 1850s, it became influential in psychiatry through the writings of Bénédict Morel, and in criminology with Cesare Lombroso. By the 1890s, in the work of Max Nordau and others, degeneration became a more general concept in social commentary.
The meaning of degeneration was poorly defined, but can be described as an organism's change from a more complex to a simpler, less differentiated form, and in this respect it is associated with 19th century conceptions of biological devolution. Although rejected by Charles Darwin, the theory's application to the social sciences was supported by some evolutionary biologists, most notably Ernst Haeckel and Ray Lankester. As the 19th century wore on, an increasing emphasis on degeneration reflected an anxious pessimism about the resilience of Western civilization and its possible decline and collapse.
Dégénération
"Dégénération" (English: "Degeneration") is a 2008 song by French singer-songwriter Mylène Farmer. It was the first single from her seventh studio album Point de Suture, and was released first digitally and on radio in June 2008, then in a CD in August 2008. The song marked an important musical change in the singer's career. Despite cold critical and public reception, the single achieved success, peaking at number one in France on both physical and digital sales charts.
Background and release
On 21 May, Thierry Suc, one of Farmer's producers, announced that the first single from the album would be "Dégénération" and that it would be released on radio on 19 June 2008. On 7 June 2008, a 30-second music clip was leaked to the Internet as well as the official cover art. On 14 June, the whole song was available to the Internet. At the time, as the origins of this song were, however, unclear, it had thus led many to believe that this leaked song was actually a remix due to its lack of lyrics.
Degeneration (medical)
Degeneration is deterioration in the medical sense. Generally, it is the change from a higher to a lower form. More specifically, it is the change of tissue to a lower or less functionally active form.

Degeneration
by: DreamshadeThe generation of degrade and ignorance:
So many men destroying each other,
Fighting for their lands
Under the control of schizophrenic divinities
Originally brothers and then sworn enemies
They are supposed to die, only to win the war of their leaders
They are supposed to die
Ignorance dominated this world for all this time
It's not too late so god forgive us all
No future for the weak
No future for the masses
Man's fury will destroy all hope
It's not too late so god forgive us all
We aimed too high, we dared too much,
Our arrogance let us touch the sky,
We felt invincible;
We felt like gods but we were just tyrants to ourselves,
So we deserve the bitter end
Men burnt down their own world without a reason
And now still don't understand their past mistakes
Take your time, look the sky:
Clouds are expiring in a slowed apocalypse
The world is changing:
I can see a spark in humanity's heart
Through massacres we spread oceans of blood
Through these tears, in these years shines a new era
We must eclipse this DeGeneration
