In your mentioning Prince in this piece, it made me think back to his legendary super bowl performance and how it was indeed an amazing performance, a live show meant to be a live show, whereas the bad bunny performance seemed to be more focused on the cameras focused on him rather than the people there listening to him sing. i guess it says something about something if i'm not exactly sure what it is...
At some point in the last however many years, culture stopped putting effort into meaningful in-person experiences. Most of it now is actually much better in reproduction than in real life
I think it has been happening for a long time now and it seems like the snowball is getting exponentially bigger and accelerating at such a pace that the human ape as a species cannot avoid the inevitable crash at the bottom of the hill. What crawls from the wreckage is beyond our knowing.

such a great observation, and correct I think.

What crawls from the wreckage is the good stuff. Like when you turn over a rock in the garden and find all kinds of life underneath
