is it just me, or does one band usually survive a rock generation, to then never die out. they're like crazy cockroaches in survivability, though i have nothing against most of these bands, it's just that they'd probably survive a nuclear winter and then become the new master race if it fitted them. think about it, rolling stones and sixties rockability; aerosmith and seventies rock n' roll; kiss, metal, precursor to eighties hair bands; U2, new wave punk, still politically active as ever; and pearl jam, nineties grunge and anger, deglamorization, politics, etc. etc. etc.
styles travel in revolutions, going around, disappearing, melding, forming something new, becoming dated, changing, somethings meld, new form. art as a whole moves that way, life in general over history moves that way. there are always forms on the fringe, just waiting to strike out, though it takes time. there's a poppy interlude that seems to take place, after artists seem to get extremely serious and destroy themselves, in general. wouldn't it have been cool to live in the sixties, listening to the beatles, zeppelin, the kinks, the stones. or the seventies sex pistols, or pink floyd. eighties ramones and clash and the english beat. maybe if i were i bit older i would have listened to nirvana, soundgarden, or the p.j. when they were just starting off, when the craze hit.
i want to say something of the future, but inexplicably, i really don't care. curious about what will develop, but nor bothered. i wonder if the bands around now, that are made of older, broken bands, will inspire people to make something new. i don't know what i'm trying to get at. it's at the tip of my tongue, or mind, but blocked somehow,
ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!
fuck it, time to start a new movement. or has it already begun?
