'All The Young Dudes' Can Be Hard To Please


Just about any new place you go to work, school or just live, people are going to tell you that it was better before you got there. Not because of anything you did to ruin it, but simply because nostalgia is an arguably fixed part of the human condition. The same pattern that applies to geography also applies to time. More specifically, generations. The generation that is coming into their own now (‘Pluralists’, as they’ve ben dubbed) is one the oddest yet. Of course the same thing has been said about every single generation that preceded them probably stretching back to the beginning of language, or at least birthdays. But this time I SWEAR it’s the truth. These little mysteries wrapped in enigmas are just now getting their first part time job and driver’s licenses and hence, are finally able to go to concert without their parents. Like ‘em or not, you’re going to have to find away to appeal to these almost-people, which won’t be easy since they won’t be able to drink (legally) for another five years or so. Not only that, they don't seem to much of a sense of community so getting them interested in their local music scene and your unsigned band is like offering cat food to a tiger. They won't even notice the five ounce tin and before you can even get the darn thing open, you'll be left for dead. To get an idea of how you might go about roping these young whipper snapper in, click the link below:
