And music too. I'm 52 and thought live music had been dying for decades...but the new breed is really into it, and is taking it to places i don't even think i've seen before. The kids are alright.

New music? Angine de Poitrine just had a Smells Like Teen Spirit moment with their KEXP set, for starters. It has been a while since something real broke the mold like this. They are the real deal.
Sleep Token is also pretty special. They just can't seem to write a bad song, and they're legit musicians carving out something super unique.
They both have gimmicky visual surface level hooks...but, once you get beyond that, they're both doing something really amazing musically, and they're progressing the whole landscape of music right now.
Snarky Puppy/Jacob Collier are also redefining jazz at the moment, in case anyone hasn't noticed.
Got any examples?
I mean, I saw NIN earlier this year and it was next level with how they incorporated Boys Noize into the set. But, I don't think anyone from Gen Z was involved in the show... and there weren't many in the crowd.
To be fair you were watching a guy that got big 30 years ago
The fun part is that keeping people focused on differences between the generations is part of the trick of divide and conquer.
Except boomers, but even then, there are plenty of chill boomers. It just so happens that many of the worst in power happen to be boomers. Correlation != causation.
To illustrate your point, look at Stephen Miller, pretty solidly millennial and undeniably lacking any form of morals with only toxic waste where his heart should be
Leadership tends to favour the older generation as they are perceived to have more of the required experience
Idk, I always like his band
Ugh. Fine. Have an updoot and fly like an eagle.
Hah. My old reddit/steam/etc name was bobdangle. Everyone obviously thinks it's my name but it's just what my dick and balls do
Ah yeah, I just have a big dickus. Sorry. Not my choice.
Holy shit, I haven't thought about Boys Noize in like 15 years. Good to see they're still going
There is no good time for AI slop to hit.
Maybe when we're all in the chairs from wall-e? 😅
One of the weird things... If you let entertainment become AI, then eventually, maybe everybody will have some weird AI generating exactly the sort of entertainment they want. They'll never feel any need to branch out or expand their horizons. Also, their entertainment will be different from anybody else's, so who are they going to talk to about it? Another AI? What is this dystopia?
I’ve heard people say this exact thing positively… but yeah it sounds like a boring hell
They'll never feel any need to branch out or expand their horizons.
I don't see that that follows logically. Some people are content being entertained. Some people aren't content unless they are creating.

This has already happened, just not in the way you're thinking. For better or worse, television was a fairly limited and human curated experience where there wasn't always something on that you instantly clicked with. Streaming services, whilst technically human curated at some level, have endless options that are recommended to you via an algorithm (a type of AI). It is extremely easy to sit in your own little AI curated bubble (e.g. true crime documentaries, mystery shows or romance K-Dramas) and never branch out.
