Scary fitting quote!
Spooky.
There’s a part in 1984 where Winston, made curious about the proles by writings in the forbidden book he receives, visits the prole area.
He hears a lady doing washing, singing to herself as she hangs up her washing to dry.
He notices the unusual tune and words she sings, realizing the strange song was made by HUMANS, not machines as they ordinarily were. And how beautiful and strange the words were.
Highway Tune - Greta Van Fleet
Music isn't dead, and Millenials don't always suck.
Yes. They always suck.
Greta Van Fleet is hope for the Resurrection of Rock.
Who listens to American music?
As I've said elsewhere, Millenials are no more stupid than Baby Boomers and their hippie ways, GenX and the 8 years of Clinton they helped give us, and every other generation's youthful idocracy.
Further, the St Louis FRB's FRED database shows the current unemployment rate for 20-24 year olds is the lowest it has been since before the 2001 recession and right around 1970. Yes, the current 20-24 yr old UMP is higher than that in the later 1960s and most of the 1950s. But if they are stupid, at least the current crop of 20-24 year olds sure seem to be relatively better employed than at most recent time periods.
I fail to see why thinking folk love to bash Millenials. Sure, they have their fair share of pod-eating Antifa-loving snowflakes who were all-in on Bernie and Hillary. However, every generation is dumped on by the elders, but in general they get more conservative as they age and turn out to be fine, upstanding citizens.
Most of the Millenials I know are either Deplorable or Centrist. Lately, they've become more horrified by their snowflake-bretheren, and are generally responding by doubling down on conservatism. Some 'kids' who may have chafed at Trump in 2016 are now thinking that jumping on the MAGA train isn't such a bad idea.
Given that Trump won by 76k votes, we need all the help we can get. I would encourage all people who reflexively bash Millenials to consider maybe inviting one or two of them that you know out to the range or something to loop them in to Camp Deplorable.
If we don't, we run the risk of President Kamala Harris outlawing ammo while some of us middle age people wonder why the young ones didn't respond 'appropriately' to being ridiculed.
They can’t make music.
Wow! Thank you for that.
I hadn’t seen that post.
I see that the topic came up at two different places; I hadn’t remembered that first part.
Gary Numan is still writing music. A lot of his new stuff is pretty good.
Just saying.
Yes. Great Van Stupid is the worst Zepplin clip since Kingdom Come (clone) was laughed off the stage in 88.
Royal Blood is a half assed Mars Volta + Fu Manchu mashup that suddenly showed up a year after Royal Thunders first record came out on Relapse.
All hacks.
It’s obviously stupid to generalize about any large group of people. Sad this has to be stated on the once-great FR.

Yes, and not all of his old stuff was exclusively done on synths.
For example:

We are Devo.
On the eighth day, Machine just got upset...

DEVO was right about everything.
