Trends we admire, Trends we dispise

[Not Afraid]

I disagree. I understand the Rave scene, the Charlston, Jazz as much as I do Punk because some of the same idealism and rebellion and pushing of boundries was present in all of these things. What I will never understand is the medeoricrity that seems to come out of this beauty. I admire artists, musicians, architects who forged their own path, that challenged the norms. I usually dislike those that stole those ideas and made them commercial and squuzed all of the life out of them. That's how I feel about 80's pop music. The genesis was soooo damned great and it ended up THERE? Ugh.

For me, it really has nothing to do with my age, but in what I appreciate in these things.
