I think the author was suggesting between the lines that we are what we consume - and if that is mindless pop music - well, I think everyone can do the math.
Its certainly generational change. I'm only 24 and I think its ridiculous when I see kids walking in groups (supposedly together) with their freaking ear buds in. I see them on Facebook on their iPhone during dinner out all the time. The fact that they can sit there posting on their BFF's wall while someone else grows, ships, prepares, plates, and brings them their food completely escapes them.
They are a generation without consequence. I see this constantly and it scares me that one day I will be their boss.
- mechanical_fish 16y agoYou forgot to mention sex or drugs! What kind of generational freakout essay is that? Twentysomethings these days... they've got no proper appreciation of the classical literary styles. ;) At least the OP's got the correct form, and he mixes in the confessional I-was-once-an-insider I-saw-the-light-on-the-road-to-Damascus trope, which is always a crowd pleaser.
- isleyaardvark 16y agoHe never connects the dots, though. It could just be that the stupid (according to the author) like the music, not that the music is causing them to be stupid. This sort of thing doesn't belong on HN. It's just one long rant on a musical group. Edit: Because of the lack of content but more importantly the tone. This is just a guy practicing with his poison pen.
