Whether he's talking about underground or mainstream music, it boils down to the same old
shit about talent and originality being dead. People criticized Rock 'n Roll for being a cheap extension of R 'n B. And then people criticized Punk for being a cheap extension of Rock 'n Roll. People always assume that the current generation has no originality, and it's only in hindsight that they fully understand everything that was truly going on.
The current underground scene is filled with all kinds of crazy, creative and amazing s
hit, drawing from all kinds of inspirations, and heading in all kinds of directions. Even someone like me that rarely ventures in modern territory has gotten a taste of it, and I've been surprised by some of the things I've been introduced to in Plug/Dub.
But hey, maybe I interpreted his post wrong. And really, it's not a big deal. I'm just shooting the
shit here.
