Because both are very very bad and most people in the younger generations have internalized cellphones completely so they don't even notice it.

I wonder if the realization that all of this "phones are bad and youre wasting your life by watching social media all day" art is almost exclusively viewed by millennial scrolling through their social media feeds on their phones is lost on anyone, or if it's something to artist banks on to get the real "gotcha: THIS MEANS U" moment...

Maybe hundreds of years ago painters lazily depicted a bunch of people ignoring their kids or a pretty sunset because they had their nose in a book.

it's a case of people going for the symptoms instead of addressing why society is sick in the first place

(the disease is capitalism, racism and foolishly giving the women the vote)

Artists: Phones are bad and cause you to ignore life as it happens around you

Also artists: *seals self off from society for weeks or months at a time to distill essence of capitalist dystopia into timeless works, ignoring weeks of current events and social gatherings, damaging personal relationships in the process*

That's live music though not electronic corpse tunes. Live music encourages you to be go out and participate in society or learn a skill.

Like all of these old timey musicians who were against sound recordings were totally correct. And now we get to listen to trash music from the 50s and 60s sung by long dead men and women, still generating money for their ip owners. It's sickening. It's necromancy.

Once, it is said the people of Islamabad invited Mulla Abdul-Razzaq to deliver a speech at Eid. When he got on the pulpit, he found the audience was not very enthusiastic, so he asked, 'Do you know what I am going to say?'

The audience replied 'No', so he announced, 'I have no desire to speak to people who don't even know what I will be talking about,' and he left.

The people felt embarrassed and called him back again the next day. This time when he asked the same question, the people replied 'Yes', So Abdul-Razzaq said, 'Well, since you already know what I am going to say, I won't waste any more of your time', and he left.

Now the people were really perplexed. They decided to try one more time and once again invited the Mulla to speak on the 3rd day of Eid. Once again he asked the same question, 'Do you know what I am going to say?' Now the people were prepared and so half of them answered 'Yes', while the other half replied 'No'.

So Mulla Abdul-Razzaq said, 'In society today, Facebook is like drug's'

I am a kid. I'm concerned about my parents taking too many pictures of me. I am disturbed for some reason.

Also, even though I look 11-12 I draw pictures that look like they were made by a toddler that my parents are proud of.

Sporting events. A live big house band for sporting events would be great, and build local character and do job poo poo for an industry.

Like seriously, if every business that wanted music had to hire someone or someone's to play it live I think I'd prefer it.
