It’s a stunning fact that 4 years on, there’s not a *single* cultural artifact—not a song, a novel, or even a movie—that legitimately captures the attitudes and experiences of 2020 in America. Argue with the values, but we got some really dope music out of the 60s! A sea TikToks with 0 enduring standouts.

I was agreeing with Sam til I read this… That album is genius and does capture that moment.

fair enough, I still think the larger point stands that there’s no (or let’s say scant) larger zeitgeisty legitimizing aesthetic to that cultural moment. again I think of the 60s and 80s. maybe that shows the moment’s illegitimacy or moral bankruptcy?
