    Had a real waking up moment last week leaving one of my favorite venues seeing the band Chat Pile in a crowd of crusty, unwashed, punks, only to look at the parking lot after the show and see it filled with current model year Teslas, Mercedes, etc.

      To be fair, there are also cases especially for older bands where their fanbase who were teens and young adults during their prime are now 40-50 year olds with families and are better off financially than they were back then.

          They can’t. Gen X was the last generation that got wealthier with age and it’s gotten progressively worse for every subsequent generation.

            They can it’s called getting a better job. There are tons of jobs out there making 100k a year in fields from computers to plumbing.

              Yeah, because there’s absolutely no barriers to most people getting those jobs. People just don’t want more money 🙄
