Enough for RLM to make the Nerd Crew solely to tear them a deserved new one, and helped to contribute directly to that culture’s decline. Remember, never think. just consume product, and get excited for new product.
I don’t like their music but Guthrie and Seeger got their folk going from being submerged in the actual folk music movements of the time and the material conditions that gave rise to them, as opposed to 00s onward indie folk which solely seeks to continue the sound without the conditions. Also they were both communists so critical support. No real knowledge of The Byrds.
Millennials are used to owning the internet. The idea that the wider culture might have gotten sick of their shit is anathema to them.
Boomers on the other hand still view the internet as this scary thing that they rarely venture out into save for sharing cat pics and AI generated pictures of Trump hitting protestors with lobsters on Facebook. Plus, even focusing on this site, how many boomers do you know believe in Marxism-Leninism?
you’re just describing nerd culture, which has always existed
Yes, and it was awful then too. But the Millennials are the first ones to ONLY have that, near as I can tell. The teen writing smutty Star Trek fanfic in the 60s had something outside of that going on in their internal lives.
I guess consumerism is fine if it’s because an influencer showed off their fashion hauls?
Absolutely not that’s even worse. At least the others I was ranting about have some passion driving them. Those people don’t even have that.
In otherwords, grow up and be cringe, dumbass.
We’ll see if you’re still singing that tune next time you see someone posting their Funko Pop shelf.
GenZ is already as hopeless as millennials, true. Arguably even more so. But there is at least a spark of shame for their consumerism which leads to them hiding it away and mocking the Millennial for its openness of it. They haven’t continued building the pedestal that the Millennial began. And with that lack of foundation, hey, there might be hope for GenA.
I mostly keep my discussions of media I do enjoy to spheres of friends that I know I can count on to have discussion above the baseline level of the wider internet septic tank.
Also I’m in my 30s do you think that I don’t also have some enjoyment of some of the media I was talking about? Of course I do. I just didn’t buy in.
