BERLIN BROOKLYN PIPELINE. 21ST CENTURY SUBCULTURE. WHEN I SPEAK TO A HUMAN WHO EXPERIENCED WOODSTOCK, THEY TELL ME THE OLDER GENERATION THOUGHT THEY WHERE CRAZY. THAT MUSIC WAS NOT GOOD, THAT MUSIC WAS BAD. THEY WHERE HAVING TOO MUCH SEX, DOING TOO MANY D***S, HAVING TOO MUCH FUN. LIFE IS NOT ABOUT THAT. WHEN I SPEAK TO A HUMAN WHO EXPERIENCED GRATEFUL DEAD SHOWS, THEY SAY THE SAME THING. IT'S A TALE AS OLD AS TIME. THE YOUTH HAS A NEW SOUND THAT IS NOT ACCEPTED BY THE OLDER GENERATION AND EVEN NOT ACCEPTED BY SOME OF THE YOUTH ITSELF. THE CLOSEST THING THIS GENERATION HAS TO A "COUNTER CULTURE" IS ELECTRONIC MUSIC. IT'S A MODERN DAY HIPPIE MOVEMENT JUST LIKE IN THE 60S. ELECTRONIC MUSIC WILL BE STUDIED IN THE FUTURE. COUNTER CULTURE ACTIVITIES IN HISTORY ARE ALL ABOUT SELF EXPRESSION AND STANDING UP FOR PEOPLE LIKE YOURSELF WHO SHARE SIMILAR BELIEFS AND VALUES. ALL IN A WORLD THAT DOES NOT ACCEPT OR EVEN ACKNOWLEDGE YOU. THESE EDM COMMUNITIES PUSH AGAINST THE EXPECTATIONS AND NORMS OF THE ESTABLISHED WAY OF BEING. INDIVIDUALS WHO ATTEND THESE FESTIVALS ARE NOT ACCEPTED BY MANY, YET THESE MUSIC EVENTS ARE THEIR WHOLE REASON FOR EXISTENCE. SOME PEOPLE I KNOW WOULD NEVER STEP FOOT IN ONE OF THOSE TECHNO CLUBS AND I ALSO KNOW SOME PEOPLE THAT THE WHOLE REASON THEY ARE STILL ALIVE IS BECAUSE OF THEM.#berghain #brooklyn #berlin #markethotel #techno #rave #brutalism #newgeneration #subculture #nyc - @pablopablo.pdf
