>>15552066>Why was music back in the day way more positive, soulful and upliftingSpeed. In particular methamphetamine. Jack Kerouac, Allen Ginsberg, fucking everyone, not just the counterculture. All on "diet pills" that contained pure, unadulterated meth (which was only made illegal in the late 70s, btw).
It's quite amazing how much a 'generations''s (fuggit) drug of choice really explains so much.
80s? crack and amphetamine, clearly.
60s? LSD and pot.
70s? coke n heroin
90s? exstacy and 'chronic'
00s-present? hard, working class, 'functional drugs' that allow you to work very hard and climb to the top of the shitheap and avoid being trampled to death slipping through the cracks. Etc
Seriously, think about it. It does.
