The music industry is a mess. While the internet allowed artists to beam their work to new audiences across the world, it also collapsed the industry, devaluing music and draining power from musicians. None of this is to say that the industry was fine and dandy before Spotify bulldozed its way across the world ‚Äď it clearly wasn‚Äôt.¬†¬†The arts have always been a place of exploitation.

When the spring semester began, Southwestern College professor Elizabeth Smith felt good. Two of her online classes were completely full, boasting 32 students each. Even the classes’ waitlists, which fit 20 students, were maxed out. That had never happened before. “Teachers get excited when there’s a lot of interest in their class. I felt like, ‘Great, I’m going to have a whole bunch of students who are invested and learning,’’ Smith said.

On Tuesday, Education Secretary Linda McMahon took the stage at the ASU+GSV Summit, one of the nation’s premier education technology conferences. Behind her, in the grand ballroom of San Diego’s Grand Hyatt Hotel, a fireplace was displayed on one of the three gaudy screens lining the back wall. In front of her, hundreds of educators, investors and technologists sat bathed in blue-light, picking at plates of croissants and green shakshuka eggs.

There’s no shortage of reasons to feel angsty nowadays. That’s especially true for young people, for whom the future doesn’t feel nearly as rosy as it did for past generations. Whenever our world has hit those heavy inflection points, young people have often produced correspondingly existential and angsty art movements. Think of the anti-Vietnam War rock of the 1960s and 1970s, the hyper political punk of the 1980s or the George W. Bush-era musical counterculture.

One 1985 evening, 6 shots rang out in San Diego. They left an officer dead, another officer and a civilian injured, a young Black man in legal limbo and a city reeling. 40 years later, I spoke with author @pchoulahan about the Sagon Penn incident. https://t.co/owa7Id8m0T
