Speaker 1: Hey, if you go to arrow dot net right now
Speaker 1: Aroe dot net, there's a brand new podcast on there
Speaker 1: that really taps into your love for music. It's called
Speaker 1: Music's Lost History. You already know the songs, but do
Speaker 1: you know the real story? Seriously, Music's Lost History only
Speaker 1: on arrow dot net aarre dot net. Enjoy your exploration.
Speaker 1: Hates me that question guy, that dude that's always asking
Speaker 1: questions like a little two year old in front of
Speaker 1: his parents, always asking questions because it's more fun when
Speaker 1: you start researching for answers such as why are students
Speaker 1: being called the last generation? Where did this even come from?
Speaker 1: And is it doing more damage than good? Plus how
Speaker 1: many creative people are finally crediting the COVID lockdown for
Speaker 1: their current success. My name is Erro. I'm a daily writer,
Speaker 1: a silent wolf. I stand in the sidelines and do
Speaker 1: nothing but watch, listen, study, then activate. I call it
Speaker 1: the Daily Mess because it's a chronological walk through an
Speaker 1: everyday world. It is my daily writing as a receiver
Speaker 1: of thoughts and ideas. We as people tend to throw
Speaker 1: things to the side and then attempt to fish them
Speaker 1: back in the future. How's that going for you? What
Speaker 1: kind of a worm are you using when a subject
Speaker 1: arrives inside of me? Dude, I know it's time to
Speaker 1: dig in. It's still keeping that daily journal, but by
Speaker 1: doing the research, the picture will become clearer. This is
Speaker 1: the daily mess. Why are students today being called the
Speaker 1: last generation? Now we're talking about the students that had
Speaker 1: to go through the COVID lockdown. It comes from real
Speaker 1: concerns about this being the only group of students in
Speaker 1: the country that truly went through the entire COVID lockdown experience.
Speaker 1: Topping the first ever walk was how it totally interrupted
Speaker 1: their education suddenly without practice. Oh oh, we're doing remote learning,
Speaker 1: adding to the weight, sudden development. It was out of
Speaker 1: the window and off the map, introducing mental health, I mean,
Speaker 1: on the rise it came. We're talking anxiety, loneliness, depression
Speaker 1: and stress. And who will ever forget the huge number
Speaker 1: of milestones that were missed, graduation from and even sports.
Speaker 1: You know, the last generation? Ooh. Recent research shows the
Speaker 1: average student during the COVID lockdown had experienced a major setback.
Speaker 1: In fact, many many, many schools are still trying to
Speaker 1: catch up. The expression about this generation suggests that schools
Speaker 1: by the way should stop doing this. In fact, health
Speaker 1: experts say that can we just say something other than
Speaker 1: the last generation. Others that we need to take off
Speaker 1: the list include the COVID generation or the pandemic generation.
Speaker 1: The goal is to make sure that these students are
Speaker 1: not permanently defined. Society will call these students whatever they want,
Speaker 1: whatever is available. But the important part is is that
Speaker 1: his victorians and teachers get it right. Hey. Coming up
Speaker 1: next are creative people in music, movies and books finally
Speaker 1: crediting the COVID lockdown for their current success? Hey, thanks
Speaker 1: for coming back to the daily Mess. Creative people in music,
Speaker 1: movies and books. Are they finally crediting the COVID lockdown
Speaker 1: for their current success? And I bring this up because
Speaker 1: I was there March of twenty twenty. I did not
Speaker 1: turn down any interviews. I knew more than ever that
Speaker 1: it was time to crank up the conversation because people
Speaker 1: were going in every direction, especially creative people. I've still
Speaker 1: got interviews where I was screamed at using every F
Speaker 1: bomb in the world, s, bombs, you name it, because
Speaker 1: I brought up COVID and they wanted nothing to do
Speaker 1: with it. And yet today these same people are crediting
Speaker 1: the COVID lockdown for their current success. My my, my.
Speaker 1: But here's the thing, though, the COVID lockdown is not
Speaker 1: reason to celebrate inside a victory circle. What creative people
Speaker 1: are saying is that there was time available, It was cleared,
Speaker 1: and it gave them the opportunity to work their art
Speaker 1: and to really build this thing called social media. Writers
Speaker 1: started and finished novels. Filmmakers earned a lot of money
Speaker 1: with this new thing called streaming and podcasting. Oh my god,
Speaker 1: it was coming out of the woodwork. Iman. Everybody had
Speaker 1: a podcast. Suddenly, it was the thing to listen to
Speaker 1: while staying checked in with daytime and evening hours that
Speaker 1: just would not stop because the question always was when
Speaker 1: is this ever going to get back to normal? It
Speaker 1: wasn't an all around circus and celebration. Creativity at the
Speaker 1: time varied greatly from person to person. I mean, there
Speaker 1: are many, many, many people who do credit the lockdown
Speaker 1: for reshaping their creative success today. It's not a universal story, though,
Speaker 1: and many equally talented people went through hell a lot
Speaker 1: of setbacks while others are seeing the sun rise. When
Speaker 1: asked if this means that creativity has been healed. The
Speaker 1: answer is uh uh, nowhere near it. Creativity got broken?
Speaker 1: Is that even proper English? It got broken, but it
Speaker 1: did introduce newer ways to create on different shorelines that
Speaker 1: take us to beaches we've never met. I'm Meryl, and
Speaker 1: that's the daily mess.
