There are some really amazing things about 'Now' - but obviously some really messed up things. It's really disappointing to be this old & this far into the 21st Century & have this much Medieval thinking & behavior going on... I think it's simply that Homo sapiens is @ an evolutionary crossroads as all the Visionaries & Social Theorists have long said. I wish I had more faith in our species to step up to the challenges (climate change for instance)...

Truly a lot of things seem to be going into the toilet right now. Gun murder for instance.
Being my age - 58 - Disco seemed like our Depression or WWII. Live venues switched to Disco - there was nothing else on the Radio ever ...yer Dad wanted to be JohnTravolta. The jocks loved it. & it seemed to go on for years & years like it would never end. Sorry - it was absolutely horrible & traumatic. People see it as ironic & cute now. It was a horror & a blight.

I disagree. Our ears were always tuned to new musics, including disco. I wasn't a huge fan, but I got a kick out of hearing the new releases...just not incessantly.

Revolution Rabbit Nov63:

Always say this - all the docs & analyses spin it that Punk was a reaction to Prog. To me - it was a reaction to Disco. Of course that was then & this is now. I see it differently in the present. Primarily - I think Disco was quite different in Urban & NotUrban environments. It was not about Queers, HardDrugUsers or People of Color where I was! Also - Disco had an Arc to it - as most things do. It started as one thing & became commercialized & exploited - & that was mostly what reached us. & by us I mean the friends I smoked dope with in HighSchool in Claremont, NewHampshire - pop. 15,000 north of northeast of nowhere...

Phones, the unreal communication space lacking nuance and inflection, and the attendant misconstruing and apprehension of texting may lead to the heightened anxiety.

My point is partly that I don't ever recall punks hating on prog rock or anything else. More likely we embraced it all. Shoot, we were just folks who liked music.

I posit the term Internetrovert...
I've always been a Mediahead - so the gushing firehose of the Interwebz - I love the access. Like right here ! Social Media is a completely new thing for Society tho of course. facebook felt like moving to a new town & standing nekkid in the Square. The ways it connects us powerfully & yet connects us *not @ all* is quite strange. Like participating in people's mental health crises in real time @ great distances. Medium of course is the Massage...

1979 was like the linchpin year for all those forms cresting / morphing/ ascendant and fading. Punk to post punk/New Wave-retro pop; post-Pub Rock; the 70s schlock overstaying it’s welcome.

Pretty much an introvert here too. When we moved here It wasn’t long before Covid, and it was not long after I quit drinking, so my world got totally flipped — in a place where I didn’t know anyone, forced isolation cuz of the Covid, and then when stuff opened up, no liquor to chase away the social anxiety to meet new people. But the fishing’s pretty good
