“I think culture always lives [on] … I don't believe that it doesn't matter what the artist believes that their music should be. That's really, really important. But if it's good, if it resonates with people, it's going to be more [than that] because people are gonna sing along to it… maybe people are gonna play around with it…. People are gonna think like, “oh, this song really matches with that [song].” And they're gonna try to mix it or create a mashup. I mean, release is a beautiful word for it because you have to let it go. “ - Bas Grasmayer

Punk, indie, emo, hip-hop, jazz, electronic music… pretty much every modern genre has gone through through these kinds of growing pains, and pretty much every dedicated music fan over the age of 25 has seen a genre they loved morph into something they no longer recognize or fully identify with. These shifts are normal and natural, and yet people’s primary response to them is usually one of anger and dismissal, an endless parade of eye rolls and “these kids have no idea what they’re talking about.” - Shawn Reynaldo, Who’s in charge of Culture?
