Adam Curtis said "ain't it weird that all art isnt about what's it like to be alive right now? It's all nostalgia about an older time."
Adam Curtis doesnt watch shit like this. What's it like to be alive now is to be constantly baffled and to be totally aware of what's at stake and what has to be done but watch everyone who's even nominally in charge goof off and then go to Little St James on the lolita express. Meanwhile things keep getting worse but the mainstream art world keeps trying to remind people "but, hey, the 80s and 90s eh? That was some good shit."
