Each generation is owed very little. So, naturally, they feel that they, at the very least, deserve to enforce their own humor and their own brand of overly sophisticated psychedelic music. It’s a rite of passage. And both, generally, are well-received critics who roughly belong to the same generation.
Both the humor and psychedelic chants quickly get dated. Sure, they’ll have their room allotted in the history books and museum exhibits. There’ll be documentaries about how these people wanted to change the world. And they’ll show up in the soundtrack depicting those eras. But, well, a few kids listen to Jefferson Airplane, hoping to catch a great tune.
Bible Club’s Ford Capri is a humorous, psychedelic rock number of the internet era. It could only be made during this era. It’s artsy, tense, funny, and runs a little longer than it should. Besides, the artwork looks like it was created by a random meme generator. It’s also a daring sound and a statement about what can be done in guitar music. And, more than anything, it is firmly the music of its time.

There are certain professions that allow artisans to think of themselves as more important than those around them. We expect this reaction from these professions because we believe that it will benefit all of us. You wouldn’t want a chief-of-state to start questioning whether they are better equipped for their task than the people that they are representing. You wouldn’t like for your doctor to start questioning their knowledge.
The role of a rock star may be an unnatural one when one thinks closely about what it involves. However, if someone decides to prance on stage in order to present their writing and their ability to play music, they might as well act confident, conquering, and all-knowing.
Showtigers’ No Hero distinguishes itself from the myriad of other modern rock tunes through complete assurance and a level of self-abandon that listeners are rarely treated to in recent times. It’s a brief song that the musicians seem to occupy fully and one by which they are themselves hypnotized. One can’t help admiring this and learning by the example provided by the artists themselves.
