I think it's very interesting to compare the generations. What it means in terms of knowledge etc to be a music nerd. Corpsey, your micro-generation get stuck in the middle, none of you lot know fuck all, but you get the venerable greybeard record collectors, like Woebot and Reynolds, and compare them to the Internet reared likes of third and Barty and mvuent and etc it's very interesting.
The new generation have been able to make their own histories, whereas the elders always had theirs handed down to them because there simply wasn't enough access to primary sources. Both approaches have their advantages and limitations but I think broadly speaking I'm much more excited by the new lot. They all have huge blind spots and gaps in their knowledge but who doesn't?
