Well, I sure hope so. Right now it seems younger generations might be even more captured, but I guess we’ll see.
I had a lot of hopes for my generation (Gen X) since many of us saw the hippie-to-yuppie thing and thought many boomers were selling out and cashing in as they entered the workforce, but that our generation had punk and zines, and a real DIY ethos and we’d carry the torch forward with a lot of that hippie sensibility, but with a different shape - different clothes and music and designer drugs, even if LSD/cannabis were still prevalent - and armed with the 'net, which was just being opened up to the public (for commerce and that was the fly in the ointment) and maybe more McKenna than Leary, more Coupland instead of Kerouac, etc…
And, well…you can see the results for yourself. I don’t see that spark in Gen Y or Z or alpha, either, if I’m honest. I sure hope I’m wrong, though.
If they hated the 60’s counterculture they don’t wanna see what counterculture we’re gonna make
