Kids, I don't know whats wrong with these kids today...

This review serves as a microcosm of what is terribly, terribly wrong with the millennial generation. Rather than cultivate an understanding of music, music history, musicology, not to mention basic journalistic competence- just regurgitate a set of banal comments that reflect your own shallow emotional responses to things you do not comprehend. You must take responsibility for the fact that you are the reason why we live in a world where Justin Beiber can exist. Please stop. Now.


NPR would not post my above comment. I believe it violates their posting "rules" that prevent them from allowing unimaginably young reviewers (who are given a platform to engage with millions) to get hit with some truth. Weep with me for the future of rock and roll.


Here's the review that inspired my ire.
