The Apathetic Angst of the 90's
We were a generation that embodied listless apathy, few if any taking up a cause. We had one foot in analog and the other in digital not knowing exactly where we belonged. It was the last year of the millennium, 1999. I was 16, a sophomore and unlike all my peers, I didn’t listen to modern music. I was convinced I was born in the wrong decade. Up until this point, modern music did not exist to me. Not due to any pretentious music snobbery, but because it was all a cacophony of sound that I could never appreciate. Music died for me the day The Beatles broke up, over a decade before I was even conceived. My angst at the time was encapsulated by “I’m a Loser” because what 90’s teen is complete without their hand in an L shape over their forehead?
