    Gen Z Hit the Streets to ‘March for Our Lives’

    By John Seel | Culture | Comments are Closed | 23 March, 2018 | 0

    The March for Our Lives showed Gen Z desperate for a decrease in school violence. They appear to be a more activist generation than the millennials that came before them.

    Sharp distinctions between generational cohorts are mostly bogus. There are surely distinctions to be made between millennials and Generation Z, but it’s an intensity not kind. Millennials are often seen as the bridge generation between analog and digital. Gen Z is solidly digital. Millennials express quiet frustration and disenchantment. Gen Z gets angry and in your face as in Parkland high school senior Emma Gonzalez’s “We call BS!”

    This is not to say that millennials didn’t protest. But the general assumption of Gen Z is one of being totally fed up: “We’re not going to take this any more!”  They did not march out of clearly thought out political principles or thought through public policy considerations. They didn’t march out of convictions born of abstractions. No they marched because of relational pain and relational solidarity.

    Emma Gonzalez told CNN, “I don’t have a choice.”

    Into the midst of partisan paralysis, political scandal, and corporate greed, these young activists are serving as the conscience of the nation. They are to be applauded, supported, and honored for no longer assuming that the status quo on guns is OK. They are showing us a better way. They make me proud to be an American again. “You will be found!”

      What is the nature of occult’s influence on rock and roll? According to the book Season of the Witch: How the Occult Saved Rock and Roll by Peter Berbegal, the occult expanded the language and sound of rock and roll, and was more about theater and fun than the diabolical. It’s a good argument, although not entirely convincing.
