"Everything" was a bit of an exaggeration. Although nearly everything I like that is being made in the 21st century is made by bands that were around in the 20th century, and there isnt much of that. I havent found a 21st century artist that isnt crap. But yall can listen to whatever you want. My main point is that the pioneers of the sixties were the last true revolutionaries and everything since then hasnt been able to match them.

Music collectively became part of the identity of generations of young people with different thoughts and ideals than their parents and I'm not sure that had ever happened before on such a scale.

Exactly. Im glad someone understands. You could make an argument that the revolutionaries of the sixties were the first to build a solid bridge between mass culture and "serious art."
