Like I’m listening to this Bill Simmons pod with Marc Maron (who’s great for depicting a certain time and place) and I’m hearing all these late 60s-early 80s references. The one that stood out to me was Jeanane Garofolo, who MF Doom had a bar about. And then I was thinking about his bar about the Smothers Brothers, who my gma waxed poetic about a couple years back

All that to say, it feels like there’s so much more individuality in what we consume nowadays, even with a global society. Just from what I’ve seen from the old heads…not a good or bad thing btw

idk man

Feel like media back then was way more linear. Like you had to see s*** in a magazine or tv or on the radio, so a lot of people probably felt more culturally intertwined with their media consumption. Feel like with internet + social media over the years thats kinda gone away

this p much it

Idk I find other young people very homogenous still

@op you should peep his pods with chuck klosterman when they talk about this exact thing (monoculture)

How we consume stuff is way different now like whatever ideology u wanna believe u can be reassured about thru algorithms and echo chambers

That’s cause the end of mass consumption & the birth of internet honestly. The newer generation isn’t spoonfed everything like back in those days. We now have the ability to look up & listen/watch/read about anything we want to, no longer confined to local tv or newspaper
