I hate that my son and his friends are obsessed with Post Malone. PM is like the anthem writer for middle class white kids frustrated with the tyranny of high school teachers...

I've debated sending him this article, but I fear it would only entrench his stance.

Someone had to take the mantle from Neil Peart.

Say what you will about Post Malone but at least he's not an objectivist.

GOD I never made that connection. I knew there was a reason Rush was always just short of awesome and just long of grindingly annoying.

Oh they're Randian as all hell. Go back and listen to "Free Will."

With some luck he'll end up like me: hating every band I liked before I was 20. There's a dark path though. I know of like two Korn fans who are semi functional adults in 2018 and I was surprised they existed both times I heard about their musical taste. For this generation I think the dark path involves facial tattoos. Those aren't bad odds though for people moving beyond shitty music. My non scientific or rigorous sampling can be a beacon.
