We discuss whether we were unfair to millenials on an earlier episode, if Gen X is overrated, and we discuss the troll mindset.

I think what you guys are hitting on here is that millenials treat rapping as a job as opposed to an art form. They sound the same because they see it just as a job and not something to change or push forward. Ive definitely struggled with this idea because ive made music for 7ish years and it wasnt till about 3 years ago i started thinking of it as an art form and not just a product. It is a product for consumption in a way, but it should primarily be about expression, which is what i think previous generations understood and what millennials miss now. Itd be interesting for you guys to talk to felix from chapo about soundcloud rap but he did just do an episode about that on And Introducing.

And i mean job in the sense that they're doing it because they have to, not because they want to.

This is a great comment and I think a good way to put it is not “an art,” because it’s still an Art even if you’re just doing it as a job, but rather “a calling.” I think it’s art as a job vs art as a calling. Great comment. It provided a good piece to the puzzle.

I think the biggest problem here is that this whole discussion, unlike most CS discussions, seems to lack analysis and mostly sounds like Gen Xers indulging their vanity.
