There's a lot of cool Boomers that I look up to. They influenced my taste in music outside of what I normally listen to.
Especially my uncle. He introduced me to the Beatles, The Doors, etc.
Funn thing is despite my username, I never got much into Spanish music. Aside from some Reggaeton but that's what was popular when I was way younger.
Good to hear.
I love music of all kinds except for country. I even listen to Spanish music, gospel music, opera - everything. Music is the universal language. I can't get enough of it - and I still have a lot of vinyl records. At least what I have left after my two vultures went through them. They're Millennials who also like some of the stuff I like.
Music is the opposite of politics. One brings people together and the other tears them apart.
Its not parents except in the context of them being products of the culture as well.
It's media and hollywood cultural dication and programming.
Starting a few generations ago and building from there. The WWII generation wasn't as Great as claimed. They allowed their children to become the cultural car wrecks that they became. We've been fighting to return to level ground ever since.
One can view that fight, alone, in the decades of horrific, psychotic casual fashion that followed. The wild fashion shift in the decades since is all basically an echo of the 1960's cultural damage, and it has slowly returned to a truly conservative style over each decade. But the return has been slow. Its a reflection of the psychological recovery being slow. That's how bad the 1960's social damage was.
I'm not stating that fashion is a major issue other than as a cultural clue, but it does tend to reflect culture.
That being said, there has been a long-time widespread promotion of dysfunctional culture like alcoholism. That isn't unique to the 1960's and after. The party drug promotion seems to have been mainstreamed since then, though.
Are today's "progressives/leftists" the result of lack of parenting?
My parents are staunch republicans and trump supporters. I am the opposite. I was raised to believe a lot of things that simply aren't true and when I was a young adult I began to question the way I was brought up. Generalizations and anecdotes don't really mean much at the end of the day. The very idea that there is only one way to think and that any alternative to that is because of "bad parenting" would be funnier if it wasn't so stupid.
