the airing of grievances

don't want to be a downer, but the only thing i really have to say right now is what i'm upset about:

i don't like the 21st century. even though, as a young person, it's almost the only time i've ever know, i don't like it. my main problem with it is this: we have stop creating culture and started creating technology. take the music industry, for example. look at what the twentieth century invented:
ragtime, jazz, cheery showtunes, rock n' roll, rhythm & blues, blues, country, rock, psychedelic, punk, disco, techno, grunge, rap, and probably a hundred other that i'm not mentioning. albums were invented.
then look at what the twenty-first century has invented:
nothing.
we are so busy making devices to play music on, that we aren't making real music. that's not to say that there aren't great musicians out there, because i know for a fact there are. what i'm saying is that there isn't a scene, there isn't a new sound. the only thing we seem to be doing on a widespread basis is making pop charts songs which disappear after a few years.

there is no artistic movement. photography has disintegrated from an art form to something people do with their tiny, slim, computer-controlled cameras at concerts or on vacation. kodak has stopped producing kodachrome.
movies have sunk to the level that if we come out with one good one every year, we're totally amazed. although, i can't say that there aren't good movies coming out, because there are. but there have only been like, five.
probably you don't live in new york, but i do, and let me tell you-broadway is a mess. the good shows sell out very quickly, and the new shows are all basically musical versions of movies that were popular or something like that. at least 65% of all broadway shows are disney.
at least we've got politics, though. there's plenty of that around.
