I saw a post on the TL saying that people are not truly alt anymore a lot of genz-ers were complaining, but this is true. The problem is that many young people larp. They try to pretend they were from the time these subcultures were born, but they simply lack this:

As someone who works with younger people, I say this out of love. A lot of older artists, across mediums, cant connect with younger people due to lack of literacy, comprehension, critical thinking, and even imagination.

Donuts is by far J Dilla's most famous album. But a humble beat tape created eight years prior perhaps best illuminates the ongoing influence of James Dewitt Yancey. Read about "Another Batch," the tape that was never officially released—and likely never will be: https://t.co/GKFhovFwAc

YOU ALIVE AT THE SAME TIME AS ICE SPICE, KEVIN DURANT, ELON MUSK, SEXYY RED, ICE JJ FISH, DAVID GROGGINS, FUTURE, SAUCY SANTANA, TORONTO SLANG, SADE AND JOHN CENA IF YOU THINK ABOUT IT THAT AUTOMATICALLY MAKE YOU A LEGEND

to every artist/person out there, your life & career will hardly ever just be vertical, and the purpose of art goes beyond charts, sales, analytics, algorithms. this shit has its natural & unnatural ups & downs, but the best thing you can do is create things that are honest, so that you never look back & have regrets. everyday you’re breathing you get an opportunity to reintroduce yourself & put something meaningful out into the world. do the work. have fun doing it. everything else is a bonus.

idk I just personally think that getting chills from music is the best part of being alive. like when a song is so good you can feel it in your whole body. that's why I'm here.

[K-Ci’s (ooh yeah) @frodeci]

Chicken Grease —> One Mo Gin —> The Root one of the most divine trios across any album. Exemplary musicianship

There's a documentary on Netflix about these pioneers titled "A Band Called Death" I urge all fans of music history to watch. They had the opportunity to sign a major record deal but they wouldn't change their name. Fast forward 10 years and heavy, aggressive nihilistic punk/metal was a multimillion dollar industry.

@vincestaples T-Bone Walker invented the power chord (a punk staple) in the 1930s

Chuck Berry popularized Rock in the 1950s

Death pioneered Punk in 1970 in detroit for MC5 to rip off

Bad Brains founded Hardcore in DC 1976

Rock/Punk/etc etc in all forms is black music period.
