Everyone who is now the age that Ozzy, Slash, and Alanis were when they did the work that made the world pay attention, was born after 9/11. Meaning, in that climate. They were never conscious of a world without the web, Facebook, and YouTube. Rock, as Marilyn Manson noted, is deader than dead. That’s a formidable and fertile tradition going back to the blues that’s just over and done as far as the mainstream is concerned. Forget Metallica- we don’t even have Nickelback and 3 Doors Down anymore.
Instead of reaching for your logical fallacies and statistical poindexterism to pseudo-refute the article, maybe have a think about why it might actually be describing an actual phenomenon.
- pbronez 4y agoThat’s an interesting point. How would you characterize growing up in the shadow of the Global War on Terror vs growing up in the shadow of the Cold War?
- mongol 4y agoThe shadow of the global war on terror has been more intimate. Surveillance, airport security etc. During the cold war the fear was that we would all be blown up by the same thermonuclear bombs in a nuclear holocaust. What you could do with a passenger airplane was not the main problem.
