Perversion of Youth Culture: The Baby Boomer Sloppy Seconders

I was late for the party . . .

. . . low quality media penetrated the waves in space. Do it Yourself, funded by an Indie Label. 'Scuse me, Indie Label distributed by a Major Label. An afternoon thought wrought an evening's worth of work and it sold a million free copies on the Blogosphere.

Childhood trinkets that were juuuuust before our childhoods: tape, Atari, 8-Bit sound effects, wood panels, tall beers, stale colors and Polaroids. None of these things in the scene are new. In fact, I grew tired of it once I hit ten years old. Those of you making the scene at 18 just missed these facets of culture that were OUR upbringing, and you're not fooling anybody. Those of you who are slightly older, who have made the scene -- LET GO and EXPRESS through NEW means. Do not rely on what you did at five years old.

In my music class today, I invited six year olds to put random notes on an empty staff of music. They came up with an Indie hit. It sounded like our Current scene.

Do six year olds write like 26 year olds? <---> Do 26 year olds write like six year olds?
