There are some great bands today coming out of this generation like Death Cab For Cutie and Guster. The problem is that corporations are so profit driven in the music industry that developing an artist doesn't matter anymore. Everything in music is that an "artist" needs to be marketed and hit big quick. We'll never see another situation where an artist gets to develop a bit from album to album. It's either have a hit with that American Idol demographic or go home.Cincysundevilhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14213545857413956977noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13754190.post-1121827608082015512005-07-19T22:46:00.000-04:002005-07-19T22:46:00.000-04:00your entire post went over my head...

I love the fact that it has been long enough since the early '90s to prove that my generation (Y) actually is definable with legitimate contributions to the world.

These teens and 20-somethings who walk into the library (my workplace) with blue hair and mohawks are comical because we, THE LIBRARIANS, laugh and say, "Ha, I had blue hair once," or "Awww, I remember my mohawk." That always seems to shatter them. They started sporting the TRIHAWK, which I'd seen before as well, but don't recall the official name. Marilyn Manson is boring -- Alice Cooper was much more shocking. It's really sad how they seem to flounder, looking for their own identity.
