Barry, do you have those qualities of youth outlined above and
Do you already feel them evaporating?
Naivety - they don't know what came before them, they believe anything is possible, they are utopian
I think I'm pretty clued up on the history of music, so that one doesn't apply
Energy - self-explanatory
Think so. Not evaporating.
Libido - related to energy but different, they're biologically primed to show off and shag
That's me to a t. No signs of fading thank god.
Reckessness - they don't care about the adult world of responsibilities, the adult world appears like a protracted decline, they don't believe in death
Pretty much.
Rebelliousness: they want to shake things up, they view adult institutions with scepticism/hostility
My raison d'etre on dissensus
Malleability: they're not stuck in their ways yet, or they are at least open to exploring new ways
When I first heard culture i didn't like. Now i think it's the work of the lord...
Intense feeling - Is this a biological fact? Not sure, but I'd warrant that their hormones are causing them to feel things intensely. They're not as prone to conceptualising in the dry scientific way the adults do.
very, very much so. i get embarrased listening to music around people because i have these weird seizures. eyes roll to the back of my head and all that.
none of its fading corpse. learn from me.
