I don't know why that is, I can't explain it, but I just feel like kids right now in their teenage years are a lot more aware of things and they're a bit more pat out things. They're not as cynical as we were when we were teenagers. Well, the same thing happened in the punk movement when it happened. In the late seventiethies, it's like major record labels were signing punk bands because they were more aware of it.
