Do you hate HipHop?
I've got half baked ideas about why youth culture has formed a kind of stasis in some ways - not every way obviously, but it's an interesting thing to think about:
- regarding music, some of the biggest changes in pop/youth music were technological, e.g. sampling, electric guitars, synths, etc. and maybe it's my lack of imagination but I don't see what's on the horizon that will enable new kinds of music to arise in the translation of musical norms through a new technology
- ready access to all past recorded culture means newness is less important, maybe leading to less drive to CREATE new culture
- that ready access also eliminates a lot of the mystery appeal of subcultures that previously had gatekeeping and had to be sought out, that weren't really advertising or welcoming
- maybe, by noting that it seems weird how kids are now, we're basing our standards on how far a generation can leap from their forebears on what's clearly now an extremely unique time historically, basically the first 50 or so years of the boomers; their wealth and freedom and lack of responsibility will never be repeated, sure, but I doubt if they ever happened before. maybe slower evolution is closer to how the kids normally did it, and gen X etc. were just echoes of the boomers' unique privileges as they slowly decayed. the privileges, not the boomers. though I guess we're all slowly decaying
