"Where can we go? The stars of tomorrow are playing today. The beatmakers, the janglers, the mops, the bashers, and the true believers. There's a pop revolution sweeping the underground. Straight off the streets, this is where the action is. Why is this happening? Nothing happens randomly; there are historical forces at work. In these troubling times, people everywhere are fed up with the bullshit. Right now a good half-dozen faux trends are variously rising or falling, but that doesn't concern us. We're more concerned with what sticks and disrupts. Revolution is authenticity, not imitation. We seek character. We share humor, and bond over mutual feelings of disconnect, pain and grief. Needles and pins. Pop lives in the blood of the young. There’s been cycles of this going all the way back to the ‘50s. Same visions, same criticism. Frantic romantics. Good clean fun. This whole discussion will (i hope) seem academic. In fact it's so basic it ought to be taught in junior high"
