Exactly. These “glorious rockers” from the 70s and 80s were then angry, entitled rebels hellbent on tearing down society. Why should we be surprised when now, in their 60s and 70s they are still angry, entitled, and hellbent on tearing down society? “Freedom” for them, for everyone else, apologies for being alive.

As a classical musician growing up at that time, outside of that former mainstream of popular rebel rock, I never understood the appeal. There was more to life than rebelling against authority, and that garbage (sorry) might have felt good to angry young people, but it only added ugliness. Because I and my nerdy friends were so separate from this dominant Pink Floyd culture, we learned independence. That is why we now see the whole covid garbage for the psyop that it is.
