No one feels safe taking chances on originality. And it's fricking sad. One thing about society that I wish would change is how underground everything "original" seems to have to be. Recently, In the 80s and 90s it was an interesting time because people took chances, and people seemed to seek knowledge.

They will ruin rock 'n' roll, and strangle everything we love about it, right? You know, because they're trying to buy respectability for a form that is gloriously and righteously dumb. Now, you're smart enough to know that. And the day it ceases to be dumb is the day that it ceases to be real, right? And then it just becomes an industry of cool. I'm-I'm telling ya, you're comin' along at a very dangerous time for rock 'n' roll. I mean, the war is over. They won. And 99% of what passes for rock 'n' roll these days, silence is more compelling.

Post grunge, pop punk and nu metal in popular music were horrible. I don't know, I guess I'm just not a fan of art that is "safe".

Same with film, I'm not even sure if my favorite director Stanley Kubrick was a genius. He was original in what he did, and worked hard. Films today, just sometimes seems as if they were all directed by the same guy, just some scripts, stories and actors were better. Sometimes people sign their work with things like lens flares..but still. Plus I'm not a fan of excessive cgi at all.
