In short, he beat the last train, got as far as he could, and then walked two hours through the suburbs. Just like in my youth in the Moscow region.
It was only when I was young that I was so into all kinds of punk rock, but now, writing about it, I appreciated the pop music of the 90s more.
In my childhood and youth, the cheapest and most shameless pop music was played everywhere and it was a symbol of the hated reality. An object of rebellion and resistance, as formidable as the state and the church. Today young people oppose the state, capitalism, patriarchy and war. For our generation, pop music was a mortal enemy. Yura Shevchuk even declared a crusade against pop music.
No one listened to pop music, but everyone hated it wildly. This ball is a symbol of evil. Great Western musicians in the 1960s raised young people against the state, capital and genocide. There were only enough great Russian musicians to fight pop music.
And of course I didn't listen to pop music. I listened to the King and the Jester, Lion, Spleen, Agatha Christie, Master, Black Sabbath, Iron Maiden. Pop music was a symbol of the reality we hated.
And now, friends, I'm an adult. Do not depend on the opinions of others. And I listen to everything I missed because of the subculture. What could not be done if you are a free person and not like everyone else.
And I'm surprised how good it is. What great nineties pop music that was. And how much I lost by abandoning her as a teenager.
אבל כלום. אני מקשיב עכשיו. והאהוב עלי הוא האלבום "אהבה" של הזמרת סווטה, 1999. האלבום מאוד פשוט ונאיבי, אבל בגלל זה הוא שובה לב. הזמרת הקטינה סווטה כתבה את זה בעצמה. זהו דחף טהור וכנה של נערה צעירה. האלבומים הבאים נכתבו על ידי אנשים אחרים. והם נשמעים מגעילים, חסרי נשמה. הנערה הצעירה זכתה להצלחה והפכה לזמרת פופ טיפוסית. אבל האלבום הראשון יישאר טהור וכנה, כמו החלומות שלנו בגיל 18.
That, friends, is why I'm going home. Very good music. The best music.
