Could the next big thing be for and by people who are grown ups. We live like children, a lot of us. A lot of middle aged people still in flat shares for instance. Scraping by. Doing loads of drugs. Don't go yuck gross, try and imagine how it might work if it were actually good.

But unless we're all going out and having shared experiences it's just nice things to pass the time, nothing more. Frippery without any weight
I really think that communal experiences that demand a certain commitment are key to this. Going out a lot to the same nights etc. Seeing the same faces over and over again and feeling like it's a movement
There are examples of this with older crowds of course. Love From Outer Space. The whole doom metal / black metal renaissance to a certain extent.

Sleaford Mods are a good example of what dissensus would sound like if dissensus was music, perhaps

Country music is (in part) a cultural movement of old and embittered people talking about how shit their lives are and wanting to fuck and take drugs
I guess what I'm saying is, it can be done. But it's not necessarily good

Surely we'd all be too tired?
Revive reggae nights are like this. The music is amazing and made for being played at volume but it's for an older crowd.
Also, me, Jon and Paul STN going to Cafe Oto.
Seeing as you mentioned the embittered, `i saw a video last night of Farage singing along to Rule Britainna. The person who tweeted it said "this is obviously a Cunts Anthem"
woops
is not like other people
that's called cafe oto project space isn't it?

finally, a thread I can relate to.
have no idea what it would sound like, although it might not be something new and different. probably just an extension (or retread) of the last musical trend you were really into. over here, people like Springsteen keep on keeping' on, with just slight variations from his earlier career, listened to by an audience that prefers the familiar to the innovative.
or maybe we'd be cranky old bastards like Dylan, not giving two shits what anyone thinks and bashing out highly acclaimed albums at age 79.

curiously similar and different perspectives when even the elders among us were a bit younger here:
I went to a Coxsone revival gig in Brixton to see Aba Shanti just before lockdown, it was more like that thread than this one
"Mature ravers only"
This cropped up in the funky house thread - some of our fresher faced posters were outraged at there being age restrictions on some nights. Some of us recently went to an "over 25s" reggae night which had a load of stuff on the flyer about no hoods, no jeans, no trainers, etc. In fact it was...

It's only white people who aren't allowed to go out and dance as they age. It doesn't seem fair.
