  If you think Rock is unremarkable today you’re listening to the wrong Rock.

  Because of normalisation. The more you experience anything, the less spectacular it becomes.

  Teenage kicks in particular needs something that is amped up from what was before. Hence evolution of music and culture has always been driven by youth.

  You need to put yourself in the frame of mind of a kid who up until they heard rock and roll, Laurence Fucking Welk was the grooviest thing they’d heard.
