Why are kids today so fascinated by old shit?
>flannel and suspenders
>Dali mustaches and full beards
>folk guitar on pop radio
>vintage everything
Aren't they supposed to be forging their own culture and identity as opposed to adapting somebody else's?

It's fucking temporal appropriation.
Shit has to stop.

Read the book "The Power of Habit" by Charles Duhigg. He explains that people listen to music that fits categories of music because it is calming. He discusses it way better than I can. Listening to old sounding music with old looking images is as comforting as seeing my grandpa.

Well, if you wear old clothing you are an autist. But fashion changes all the time. Just look at women's hats. But things like classical music and famous paintings are something that anyone could appreciate. And you see that only technology has improved, not human skill. The human skill was just as good, if not better, centuries ago, and we have monuments to prove it.

Pirates have always been around, and still are. It still affects use. No I am not talking about the Somalian pirates, I'm talking of course about internet piracy. Yeah, you think it is okay, well how about you personally take money out of a musicians pocket. See how long he puts up with that shit. Internet piracy is not okay. People work for a living. Work produces. When people can't make a living working, work doesn't get done. No production. You understand? No more music, TV, movies, paintings, etc. Give these people some denars.
