That sinking feel of embarrassment by association when you like the sound of an artist, click on their last.fm page, and their bio starts out with a grand dismissive gesture at These Sad Old Times We Live In Where REAL Music Is DEAD ... Except In This One Artist And Their AUTHENTIC, HARD-WORKING PASSION. This rhetoric has been tiresome since before Ali Barter was born.

If you want to blame my opinion on my generation (or hold my generation responsible for my opinion), know that I'm a millennial, Ali Barter is older than me :\ In my experience it's my parents who routinely buy into the "real music is dead" thing ... and blame my generation, its tragic dependence on technology, the 'illusion' of internet fame, etc. Unfortunately, real music was already dead by srs rock people's standards when they were young :'( And what disturbs me here is people younger than my parents falling back on the same "in these times...", "this UNIQUE artist had the rare good fortune to be exposed to OLD MUSIC, she had REAL TRAINING, not like those FAST FAME people today". Read the artist bio here. Isn't it normally boomers who decry the youth of today wanting the "easy path" and "short cuts" and praise "the hard graft"?
