In any case, as each generation like ours approaches middle age and ages beyond that, the generations following it somehow magically seem to us lazier, more disrespectful, less intelligent, and less moral than ours was. It's been that way since at least ancient Greece. 4/

There must be something about aging that makes us forget what screwups so many of us were in our youth and that blinds us to how hard today's youth has it, because this selective amnesia has been a feature of humanity for thousands of years. 5/5

That's always a bias to be aware of, but who is the Queen of today? Rolling Stones? Mommas & Pappas? Fleetwood Mac? Dire Straits? Go ahead and be selective about the 21st century and see how it holds up.

Oh idk. Have you ever heard of Florence and the Machine, Adele, Ellie Goulding, Ed Sheeran, The Lumineers, Mumford and Sons, Twenty One Pilots or Chris Stapleton? These aren't even my favorite genre of music but they are exceptional artists.
