your boomer canon

[other_life]

all my really favorite boomer music was primarily made and listened to by the boomers who died of AIDS or living clandestine lives

my working idea is that this set of boomers who survived ended up hanging with older gen x-ers and this partially explains how bands like the smiths or duran duran (or the replacements) 'bridge the gap'

both comments ofc from an american perspective. figures like arthur russell belong here also

people over-credit the smiths with being ironic but i think "still ill" expresses kind of a vicious sentiment. even though its one of my favorites

morrissey is the labor-aristocratic conscience

mayo thompson's second life as a conceptual art and post punk svengali in the uk allowed him to pitch the red krayola as more influential/ahead of their time than they in fact were, though

[craner]

I feel like he should dig the masculine, bearded, boozy beach energy of late Dennis.

Duran Duran is not really that though.

yeah you're right they are actually quite decent.

I meant Morressey.

In the states, The Smiths were the kind of band that you would only see on late night MTV like 120 minutes, where as Duran Duran were like Taylor (sic) made for early MTV.
I don't think they ever played this controversial one though which is why i had no idea who made it when i heard it on a mixtape someone made:
