Music culture has since the 2000s progressively become more and more stale, and lately the festival Pol'and'Rock has been the only thing making me believe in concerts actually becoming like what they were in the 90s again. It's not a coincidence that most of my favorite albums are from the 90s, it just seems to be when music culture peaked - this is the hill I'll die on, you can have 1969 if I get to have my 1995-1996. The second sign of music culture coming back is the band Sublime returning and bringing back Bradley Nowell in the form of his son (now being the same age as Bradley was during their peak. He's also his own thing and really good in his own way, but you can't deny that bringing back Bradley Nowell is a good thing that must be mentioned). They're refreshingly non-politically correct and that's what I think we need to have fun in the way they had during concerts in the 90s. We can't both be right and aware about every opinion online and at the same time have fun, which is why we need to move away from the 2020s social media based music culture. Look at a concert from the 2020s and you'll see both in how people hold up their phone and in how their eyes just look that they're aware of everything happening online but not aware of the actual concert in front of them.

So the 90s has to make a comeback in music culture for it to actually survive, and I get the most confident in this actually starting to happen when I see shallow things like the focus on showing hot girls in the Pol'and'Rock festival footage, and also in the new Sublime video (it shows old footage of events of girls flashing their boobs in the 90s, but just deciding to show it in a current video means the attitude could make a comeback!), which is something that has slowly disappeared from music concert culture at the same rate that it has become more stale and more social media based. Correlation isn't necessarily causation, but I choose to believe in this shallow sign and the connection between girls flashing their "good parts" and music culture becoming fun. I think the unpolitically correct stuff we moved away from because we "knew better" is something we need back in at least some dose, from some direction, to get something better than the constantly self-aware and world-aware 2020s social media culture, and right now Pol'and'Rock and Sublime are what make me believe in that actually happening on some level.
