    New music is surviving. Of course it will survive. Music is an expression of our humanity.

    Thriving? I think not. When was the last time you went to a bar and people just starting singing and playing folk music? When was the last time you even heard of that happening? Once it wasn’t weird, it was normal.

    Music is dead because it has been elevated to something that is performed by the few and consumed by the many, instead of something that we all live together.


  • Okay, but that’s not what “ok, boomer” means. It’s not about the cycle of generations. It is specifically about calling out people who are critical of the consequences of poverty experienced by younger generations, without acknowledging that poverty itself, or Boomers’ responsibility for creating that poverty. “ok, boomer” is what you say when someone tells you that to get a good job, you just need a strong work ethic, a firm handshake, and the willingness to walk up to the manager and ask for a job.
