Personally, I think these underground groups should have places to meet and unfold their creativity, but have become very annoyed with their immature and unconstructive “we are against the establishment, but demand more money from the establishment or else we’ll trash the city” attitude. Hopefully, the recent societal gesture will shut them up for a while.

On another level, I can’t help being fascinated by how these clashes between generations seem to be a repetitive loop in history. They have always been characterized by the paradox between the elders’ postive will to bring the future of the tribe from acts of “lust and desire” to “sound reasoning” and the youth’s revolt against such upbringing.

Just listen to the description of youth given by Socrates (through the writing of Plato) approximately 410 BC:

“Children nowadays are tyrants. They contradict their parents, gobble their food and tyrannise their teachers.“

I can’t guarantee all six decades of guitar, although a few should be represented as we stick to guitar music (also known as rock).
