Actually, I think old and modern drone fans are two very different groups yes. Mostly because of the association that drone originally had with modern classical (ya know, being borne from it and all) that got swept away as the term modern classical became more expansive. I think this has led to drone and ambient becoming more casual genres, so to speak.

I don't think you're making enough effort to dig. It's not like you have to go to record shops and ask them to sample **** for you like I did.

Yeah. I mean, fans of La Monte Young are obviously on a different level of sophistication.

That's kind of my point though: the majority of high school students will grow up to be that typical person with locked in garbage taste as opposed to slightly fluid socially driven tastes. Obvious exceptions and all that, but I'd rather take musical advice from an older basic bitch because, as has been mentioned before, they've had time to strip away the fads and garbage, while younger listeners can't separate the two as easily. But you do have a good point with the internet, I guess I'm thinking of this pretty traditionally.

Do they have any interest in stepping beyond The Fall?

I actually took immediate offense to wiki describing them as "no wave" a term I suppose I hold sacred for the time and place. Pioneering ethic in that case.

Not saying they're not a good band, btw.

But you neglect how unsocial and how uneffected by proximity of like minded peers the Internet has made things. A lot of kids favorite stuff is just other kids singing famous songs on YouTube. There's stuff that has caught on, obviously, but a surprising amount of the market share goes to whatever a kid bounces on on YouTube with no concern about anything except if it catches their attention. Extreme fragmentation means that weird interesting and unknown **** is a part of the norm. There's beauty in all kinds of things older people almost always disregard without even consideration.

High school kids don't care about music? Bull****. They identify with it the most.

What do you call artists inspired by the movement? Just post punk?

I get your philosophy but I still use it as a sound descriptor.

If liking Britney Spears means getting laid we'd all listen to her at every opportunity.

Yeah, just post punk. That scene was so revolutionary. You call a monk a Buddhist not a buddha.

I'm making fun of you. People aren't getting laid because they listen to an artist. And if they are... well, she's a hoe and you probably have herepes.
