the young men who woulda been in bands 20 or 30 years ago, what are they up to?

the implication here is that there’s not the incentive to ‘make it’ as much anymore because the career is pretty good.

they're all still in bands, but now instead of working at a cafe, bar, or screen printing shop they work at tech cos big and small

i don't know anything about prostituting synthesizers. are they creating anything

Surfing web3, prostituting synthesizers, meeting friends at concerts, dancing at raves and festivals, surfing and skateboarding, diving...

they make music on their computers. coordinating a band is difficult especially if they write music

I do wonder what previous demographic e-sports draws from.

They're in their forties or fifties now with beer guts, limp dicks and normie haircuts. 

Oh I think I misunderstood your question 🙃

I am over 40 years old
My friends who were in bands when I was in my 20s have normal jobs.

Many of these friends are self employed, not working for a company
