We had music that was about something.

Now literally it's punk rock to be young and wear crocks and be a K-pop star.

Boomers:

Started listening to jazz & blues music (first punk rock of the western world).

Invented Rock & Roll by mashing up jazz, country, and the blues.

Invented Electronic music and Disco.

Invented Rap Music.

Gen X and beyond:

Limp Biskit.

Mumble rap.

Differnt BPM electro.

There hasn't been a new genera of music for the last 3 "generations".

That's another sign that creativly we suck now.

Not only music, but creativity in movies. Everything seems to be a re-release or a remake, or a marvel movie (not a diss I like them).

They just made a sequel to Beetlejuice and the wizard of Oz. Lmao they didn't even try to bring the 12 other novels from that series to life before some punk is like I'll write my own wizard of Oz fan art and society just eats it up.

Nostalgia is a powerful, effective, marketing tactic. A new concept runs the risk of having no fans, and therefore no turnout. An established IP has a built in fan base. Some of those fans are die hard enough to go watch whatever slop remake was just made

In Greek, "nostalgia" translates to "the pain from an old wound," meaning the word captures the bittersweet feeling of longing for the past, often accompanied by a sense of ache or sadness associated with memories of a time gone by

- It’s that ache to have those experiences again that makes nostalgia so powerful a marketing draw

You literally _cannot_ be cool anymore.

There is no such thing as any subculture that is actually "cool".

The coolest subculture is about listening to music from a guy who's dating a kardashian.

The most cutting edge rock musician has music in car commercials and Disney movies.

To be "anti establishment" you have to like billionaires and republicans.

It's a pathetic time to be alive if you like creative shit.

George Carlin was literally the Seinfield of his day pre acid and the WBAI incident over the 7 words. dude just jumped on a trend that was already in motion so he wouldn't have to wear a suit and tie at work anymore.



and even this act (cause he had a partner at the time Burns and Carlin) was a rip off of all the other duo acts prior.

why he ended up being the poster boy for nihilism for 25 years at the end of his career.

comedians that don't suck shit can fit in a VW bug and you already named 3 of them.
