The baby boomer aisle

I want all of y'alls take on this.
Why was political protest against Bush with bands like Green Day so iconic but any similar shit today just feels... Cringy and wrong?
Was there just a perfect storm about the post-9/11 atmosphere of 2001-2005 that just made for great protest music?
Ditto to bands like My Chemical Romance. love em or hate em they were created because of 9/11 and really seemed to inspire that generation growing up then.

Because the modern incarnation is inundated with ideological propaganda before and after it's presented whereas the previous iteration was more naturally growing outside from common political life? Maybe?

..Can I get that in English, my comprehension's a little shot right now

you're saying like

Now it feels more intentionally directed wheras before it felt more organic?

Like, My Chem was litearlly inspired when Gerard Way watched the WTC go down

American Idiot was inspired by the emotional state of America in that 2002-2003 timeframe

And the newer stuff feels like more direct weaponry against specific ~~Trumps~~ people?

does that fit?

Something like that, yeah

it just feels forced now, and I hate trump get stale fast exeptonaly when the same people prace shillary and the copreate overlords

It was just a top-of-the-head though, not a thesis. It probably could use some polish

Like

when the Trumpmania started up it was funny

but then a the ball kept rolling it got more and more unbearable

and now we have a medical term for it, so far have it gone out of controll

Yup, the joke's gone stale

it just sad

Bush had legitimate criticisms toward him

there's no cure for TDS

9mm parabellum parasetamol helps the syntoms

If you guys ever get the chance, check out *The Wind and the Lion*

Totally historically inaccurate, but a great adventure film https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4rRgx3hRwK4

That was quite a nice video, I've always admired T. Roosevelt. The analogy was quite interesting.

yeah I watched it, is one of my favourites from ERB

It's really a shame the ERB crew contracted TDS

Trump Derangement Syndrome?

Yup

Because of their election rap?

The Trump movement and the sewage water of Salt-Right that followed in his wake was explicitly stated to be why they put ERB on hiatus and stopped using Hitler as a character in their videos

Because suddenly, Nazis got "too real" for them

Damn, I didn't know that.

So they stated that?

```“We have a lot of different ethnicities and races and sexualities [behind the scenes], and we were scared,” Shukoff says. “People were confused. We didn’t know what it meant.”```

Orange Hitler coming for specifically their crew to dump them into a gulag/deport them

```“When it came time to understand Donald Trump, it was a dark place.”```

*"We were scared..."*
