    People simply don't output as much creative work as compared to 10 years ago, period. Anyone who had just really got a computer powerful enough to run the Flash ide, and could upload it and actually get a whiz bang site/concept out there was doing it, but true - many of us doing that then now have kids and mortgages and whilst we might like the idea of spending 10, 20, 30 hours on a piece just for the fun of exploring it, we just don't have the time. We don't have ANY time, noone does - even the kids 10 years younger than us are either growing their hair sideways down their face and playing 'eno' music, whatever the hell they think that is, or writing 3d javascript libraries for fun and profit in their school computer class..
    Everyone is far more tense, we all have less money to spend, and it all kinda fucking sucks ass, to be honest. Where's a decent techno night when you need it ? Nowhere.
    The party scene used to be a real nucleus of talent, musically and graphically, and the best party crews always had kick-ass websites, but they generally made that illegal and the whole thing fucked off.
    Pisses me off. Only respite I get is firing up Cubase and rattling the windows with pounding kicks and angry mangled metal twangs.I am fucking angry..Vote Obama in, then I'll calm down. And Moth - this entry may add to your 'opinion' that I am 'full of shit', but at least Im not some smarmy prick in a shoreditch bar, as you appear to be.
