"With pop music struggling to create the Moments that once seemed common, we have lost something that could bring us together. There are niche joys everywhere, but nothing I can obsess over alongside a million others. Nothing that makes a big statement and speaks to what America is or should be or will be. Nothing that has a chance to pull me closer to my friends and acquaintances in a hallway or at a concert that's really a lovefest. I want music that bonds me to my peers and my generation. I'm stuck with music that makes me happy, but makes me feel like I'm alone."
