J Balvin / Willy William: “Mi Gente (Remix)” (2017) But his actual relationship to such sources could be hard to read: Was Maus poking fun at music’s power to manufacture an emotional response, like when we find ourselves crying in the middle of a commercial, or celebrating its potential to offer us a fleeting moment of ecstasy, a glimpse of a world that is better than our own? Arriving at the end of 2011’s We Must Be the Pitiless Censors of Ourselves with the cathartic finality of perfectly curated exit music, this song-with its glittering harpsichord arpeggios, briskly pulsing bass, and grandiose allusions to borderless love-is the closest Maus has ever come to being a true believer. I’ve almost been on Reddit as long as an entire generation grew up (on Reddit).Like many of his lo-fi pop contemporaries in the early ’10s, reclusive Midwesterner John Maus pushed underground music forward by looking backward-rejecting digital studio techniques in favor of old drum machines and wonky synths, excavating the dramatic excesses of ’80s stadium pop and sentimental radio jingles as though they held clues to some hard-to-pinpoint generational subconscious. I mean I remember migrating from Digg to Reddit. I still see most of the world as I did in 2005, but the world itself has moved on and changed. I still feel like I was just in high school. I think what has been the biggest “shock” to being in my 30’s is just how far away 15 years truly is. Our priorities change, our friends change and our social circles usually shrink. The fashion and hair styles seem like they did when I was 5 years old trying to understand 80’s fashion (the fashion of the time). Now, the music all seems completely alien to me. Anything from 2010-2015 I think would be the peak of my association with being “in” the “know”. It wasn’t until my late 20’s/ early 30’s did I realize that I stopped being with “it”. And in your 20’s you still feel “with-it” in-so-far as being able to still relate to the “youth”. It’s incredibly difficult to articulate but I feel as though we all have our own “eras” in which we associate specific cultural moments with our identity. I’m in my early 30’s and when I saw this post I felt the exact. Having issues with this stylesheet? Report an issue to our GitHub repository!
