How much we changed, we were against government control, government monitoring our lives, pro freedom of speech and live and let live. I still can't believe it happened.
What happened? I seriously don't get it. I grew up at a time that was Anti Establishment. Anti Authority. Rock was about sticking it to the man. Now; the (wo)man is good, the (wo)man protects us all, the (wo)man...I mean what the fuck happened? How did it get this way? How is it kids went from distrusting authority to relying on it to live in their "safe spaces"?
Let me guess, that's what the rockers that were paid millions of dollars made you believe? That's what state funded MTV said day in and day out? The corporate news told your parents you're rebels and the state schools told you the same?
But what did that generation really DO that was anti-authoritarian? Fight the power by embracing hedonistic consumerism! Live just for yourself and don't build a family or a community based on anything other than consuming. You don't need church or family. That'll show 'em!
The left won and script flipped. The entire music scene is and was a psyop to make kids more left wing and pro socialism/communism.
nah it was mostly small bands. i cant think of any "big multimillionaire" bands that participated in the anti authority rock scene - 1 exception is rage, were the dead kennedies multimillionaires? I dont think so, and theyre a long running example of going against the grain.
None of my schools ever called students rebels. and where do you have clips of CNN calling people rebels before drumpf?
Which generation, the parents or the media?
Punks are still mostly anticonsumers.
Are you talking about the media messages, or boomers as parents?
Where did you see that messaging at the same time as "youre rebels"???
