    Not particularly! I just walked through the gay district yesterday and was so happy to see everyone out and about. Couples on the sidewalks holding hands, strange art and murals covering everything, families and friends out in the park, a band playing for people informally down by the water features, skateboarders using the hell out of the skatepark while a homeless woman rambles on about conspiracy theories to skater boys…the works. Everyone had their place, and everything felt unique, not bland and faceless.

    On the way back home, I was listening to artists from the 2010s thinking "damn, they really did have some bangers. I could see my kids being shocked when I told them I saw Rihanna perform live back in the early 10s.

    Culture is constantly eating and renewing itself. There’s a lot of cultural noise in the moment, which clears up the further you get from it. It’s why a lot of old SNL skits aren’t funny if they are commenting on what happened that week, because you aren’t in the noise of that decade anymore.
