“Music and time have such an interesting relationship. Music makes time fall away like almost nothing else. You hear a song from another moment of your life and it really is like you're still there. That's why the music of our youth ends up being particularly powerful. The coming of age music that you grab a hold of as the symbol or the expression of your independence and hopes for the future and anger and rebellion or whatever it is you're feeling is so powerful for the rest of your life when you hear it.” StillsEndsMomentsFeelingsAgeSongFallInterestingPowerfulYouthExpressionLike YouIndependenceSymbolsRebellionComing Of AgeRest Of Your LifeMaking TimeHope For The Future Author:Jennifer Egan

“I think the music industry, for instance, is such a huge, multibazillion-dollar industry and it's become very, very savvy. There's a very short grace period in which actual human rebellion or resistance can thrive before it's co-opted by these huge companies. And all of youth culture is packaged and sold back to us at this furious rate these days. I think it's part and parcel to this corporate encroachment on our lives in general.” ThinkingHumansCultureCompanyGraceOur LivesYouthHugeIndustryPeriodsDollarsRateResistanceInstanceCorporateThese DaysThriveRebellionMusic IndustryFuriousSavvyParcelEncroachmentYouth Culture Author:Ani DiFranco
