@BreeLundberg so I think people might be reacting to the fear of becoming irrelevant which is synonymous w/ being "old". This is a personal fear of mine, not so much aging, but falling out of love w/ the world around me & losing touch. U truly do get left behind if you are deemed irrelevant.
@BreeLundberg I think the age thing comes in terms of art being commodified. Nowadays if u aren't trendy/hired by a big firm, you sort of fall thru the cracks. If u don't find your Niche you get overlooked. And if you're not in touch with what's "popular", it makes u feel out of touch.
