Just because they, like me, are no longer fearlessly young, and not experiencing movements and the draw of musicians for the first time, they shouldn't forget that other people are. What's more, they do little to get up and change things, and instead prefer to get themselves, and us, down.

alot of people my age have kind of given up on new music, and i don't know whether old grumpy music critics are to blame, but it is a shame.

I am probably more enthusiastic about music now at age 30 than I was when I was 18.

Music in 2009 is great. Be positive.

i'm more sympathetic to k-punk than jude rogers here, but i don't think he gets it right. at a certain point both are not talking about music qua music (always available and in just as good a quality as ever -- i really believe this is constant) but any kind of narrative or movement or subcultural belonging-energy-type-thing has really atrophied for a number of reasons (or, just one, "the internet", i guess). i don't even know if that's bad.
