1977-84

I think I am on board with your assessment @ACTUALLYASLEEP Four reasons: * stylistic diversity: punk was born and commercialized at one end, hip hop at the other. We take this for granted today but at the time the jaggedness of going from the Clash to Grandmaster Flash and the Furious Five, the Treacherous Three, and ESG (all of whom they collaborated with at one point) was exhilarating. The sheer confluence of everything was unprecedented. * MTV as a cultural force: I mean, it was called Music Television 😉 and this was its finest hour. The assumption was that music mattered more than everything else, otherwise why would you watch it? * legacy icons: Prince, Michael Jackson, Madonna, Bruce, Bowie. I could go on. You may not like them all but you’ve gotta respect the bodies of work over decades. * the roots of indie culture were born then: bands like R.E.M., Husker Du, Replacements, the Smiths and a million others were blazing a trail (radio, live DIY tours, etc) that created “College Rock” and ultimately indie and here we are today staring in awe at what they made from scratch. The Reagan era sucked to live through but a lot of great music came out of the struggle. 💞

speculating on what happened to 1950s american voices

Theory of this moment for me: The British invasion stuck the first knife in, and hippies twisted it long enough to rupture the jugular

Fantasizing about what it would‘ve been like to be in your 20’s between the years of 2008-2016

In this fantasy. I walk into a club and am greeted by the sweet sounds of Ke$ha and Sky Ferreria side parts. There is in fact glitter everywhere and dirt and drugs and it’s the perfect landscape to poetically puke in. In this fantasy. Im Tumblr royalty. In this fantasy. I’m seeing Chief Keef live in concert. In this fantasy. “I got that off-black Cadillac, midnight drive Got that gas pedal, leaning back, taking my time I'm rolling that roof off, letting in sky I shine, the city never looked so bright.” In this fantasy. I bought it cause Rihanna wore it in the We Found Love music video. In this fantasy. I got an infinity symbol tattooed. In a world where I was born somewhere around 1989, I don't know if it would’ve been perfect, but maybe it would’ve been better.  Editing a canonically tumblresque photo, in all its overly filtered instagram glory, is a meditative endeavor. Mindfulness at its fullest. I think Thich Nhat Hanh may approve.
