Absolutely. It gets me down all the time. Some of the people I used to play music with are (despite being in their mid-late 30's and, on the whole, almost completely lacking in education or marketable skills) actually becoming professional musicians. Most, of course, are complete failures and love on food stamps... But a few are paying the bills with their music.

I read about it on Facebook, and want to cry... As I shamble off to work in the morning; a Minutemen shirt under my button down serving as my one remaining punk statement.

Ugh.

I can only speak for myself but when I was in an all female band we wrote all our own songs. And when I say we wrote all our own songs I mean we did cover versions but changed the titles.

Pssh. I'm seeing loads of people, north and south of 20, out at shows supporting live music, actually communicating with each other then forming meaningful relationships through 'social media'. The underground (as such) isn't a feeder economy for the mainstream any more. The problem, if there is a problem, is that people can't see 'the underground' because it's not conveniently sending emissaries to the mainstream and doesn't have the platform to communicate. But also, that's a fucking good thing because it means that there's loads of strong local scenes. Sort of. There's a massive economic gripe I have and it can be really short-sighted, but there's plenty going on that you're not seeing because you're looking in the wrong place, in the wrong way. It won't happen the way it did when you were 16 so don't expect it to.

I also get a bit pissed off at teenagers going on about passed generations having it better. They might have done, but you weren't there so meh. There's probably a scene nearby. Unless you live in a rural backwater, in which case I apologise. But generally, there's stuff in most large-ish cities, as far as I can see. Go, find. Or go, make a scene.

"adrenaline" in music and not so much anger which leads to adrenaline and which is in itself an umbrella term for many emotions which trigger it. so, the older i get...the more i need "it".

i blame the nets and early exposure to porn. by 13, you guys are all burned out and dryed up and shit. there, i said it.

I too miss the RAWK. All the new music I hear sounds so pussy soft, I blame Air Supply, I mean Arcade Fire... ha!

Things were more fun in the underground 80s than now.

This is so obvious, I won't even bother to back up this statement.

For a start, you almost never came across people saying the 50s were better. Almost never. They didn't even have an internet in the 80s. What a bunch of losers!

Edit: ok, they had some internets but it only came on at 9pm, in black and white, and was mostly just a picture of YOUR MUM being racist.

Gnostic propaganda - The Fonz was mercury Christ, Richie Cunningham was archon saklas - it all makes sense when you think about it.
