- 0:00Speaker 1: Hey, if you go to arrow dot net right now
- 0:01Speaker 1: Aroe dot net, there's a brand new podcast on there
- 0:05Speaker 1: that really taps into your love for music. It's called
- 0:08Speaker 1: Music's Lost History. You already know the songs, but do
- 0:13Speaker 1: you know the real story? Seriously, Music's Lost History only
- 0:17Speaker 1: on arrow dot net aarre dot net. Enjoy your exploration.
- 0:22Speaker 1: Hates me that question guy, that dude that's always asking
- 0:26Speaker 1: questions like a little two year old in front of
- 0:29Speaker 1: his parents, always asking questions because it's more fun when
- 0:33Speaker 1: you start researching for answers such as why are students
- 0:38Speaker 1: being called the last generation? Where did this even come from?
- 0:43Speaker 1: And is it doing more damage than good? Plus how
- 0:46Speaker 1: many creative people are finally crediting the COVID lockdown for
- 0:50Speaker 1: their current success. My name is Erro. I'm a daily writer,
- 0:54Speaker 1: a silent wolf. I stand in the sidelines and do
- 0:56Speaker 1: nothing but watch, listen, study, then activate. I call it
- 0:59Speaker 1: the Daily Mess because it's a chronological walk through an
- 1:02Speaker 1: everyday world. It is my daily writing as a receiver
- 1:05Speaker 1: of thoughts and ideas. We as people tend to throw
- 1:09Speaker 1: things to the side and then attempt to fish them
- 1:12Speaker 1: back in the future. How's that going for you? What
- 1:14Speaker 1: kind of a worm are you using when a subject
- 1:17Speaker 1: arrives inside of me? Dude, I know it's time to
- 1:19Speaker 1: dig in. It's still keeping that daily journal, but by
- 1:22Speaker 1: doing the research, the picture will become clearer. This is
- 1:26Speaker 1: the daily mess. Why are students today being called the
- 1:31Speaker 1: last generation? Now we're talking about the students that had
- 1:34Speaker 1: to go through the COVID lockdown. It comes from real
- 1:37Speaker 1: concerns about this being the only group of students in
- 1:40Speaker 1: the country that truly went through the entire COVID lockdown experience.
- 1:45Speaker 1: Topping the first ever walk was how it totally interrupted
- 1:49Speaker 1: their education suddenly without practice. Oh oh, we're doing remote learning,
- 1:55Speaker 1: adding to the weight, sudden development. It was out of
- 1:58Speaker 1: the window and off the map, introducing mental health, I mean,
- 2:04Speaker 1: on the rise it came. We're talking anxiety, loneliness, depression
- 2:08Speaker 1: and stress. And who will ever forget the huge number
- 2:12Speaker 1: of milestones that were missed, graduation from and even sports.
- 2:17Speaker 1: You know, the last generation? Ooh. Recent research shows the
- 2:22Speaker 1: average student during the COVID lockdown had experienced a major setback.
- 2:27Speaker 1: In fact, many many, many schools are still trying to
- 2:30Speaker 1: catch up. The expression about this generation suggests that schools
- 2:35Speaker 1: by the way should stop doing this. In fact, health
- 2:38Speaker 1: experts say that can we just say something other than
- 2:41Speaker 1: the last generation. Others that we need to take off
- 2:44Speaker 1: the list include the COVID generation or the pandemic generation.
- 2:48Speaker 1: The goal is to make sure that these students are
- 2:51Speaker 1: not permanently defined. Society will call these students whatever they want,
- 2:56Speaker 1: whatever is available. But the important part is is that
- 2:59Speaker 1: his victorians and teachers get it right. Hey. Coming up
- 3:04Speaker 1: next are creative people in music, movies and books finally
- 3:09Speaker 1: crediting the COVID lockdown for their current success? Hey, thanks
- 3:15Speaker 1: for coming back to the daily Mess. Creative people in music,
- 3:19Speaker 1: movies and books. Are they finally crediting the COVID lockdown
- 3:23Speaker 1: for their current success? And I bring this up because
- 3:26Speaker 1: I was there March of twenty twenty. I did not
- 3:29Speaker 1: turn down any interviews. I knew more than ever that
- 3:32Speaker 1: it was time to crank up the conversation because people
- 3:35Speaker 1: were going in every direction, especially creative people. I've still
- 3:39Speaker 1: got interviews where I was screamed at using every F
- 3:44Speaker 1: bomb in the world, s, bombs, you name it, because
- 3:47Speaker 1: I brought up COVID and they wanted nothing to do
- 3:49Speaker 1: with it. And yet today these same people are crediting
- 3:54Speaker 1: the COVID lockdown for their current success. My my, my.
- 4:01Speaker 1: But here's the thing, though, the COVID lockdown is not
- 4:04Speaker 1: reason to celebrate inside a victory circle. What creative people
- 4:08Speaker 1: are saying is that there was time available, It was cleared,
- 4:11Speaker 1: and it gave them the opportunity to work their art
- 4:14Speaker 1: and to really build this thing called social media. Writers
- 4:18Speaker 1: started and finished novels. Filmmakers earned a lot of money
- 4:23Speaker 1: with this new thing called streaming and podcasting. Oh my god,
- 4:27Speaker 1: it was coming out of the woodwork. Iman. Everybody had
- 4:31Speaker 1: a podcast. Suddenly, it was the thing to listen to
- 4:36Speaker 1: while staying checked in with daytime and evening hours that
- 4:41Speaker 1: just would not stop because the question always was when
- 4:44Speaker 1: is this ever going to get back to normal? It
- 4:47Speaker 1: wasn't an all around circus and celebration. Creativity at the
- 4:51Speaker 1: time varied greatly from person to person. I mean, there
- 4:55Speaker 1: are many, many, many people who do credit the lockdown
- 4:58Speaker 1: for reshaping their creative success today. It's not a universal story, though,
- 5:04Speaker 1: and many equally talented people went through hell a lot
- 5:09Speaker 1: of setbacks while others are seeing the sun rise. When
- 5:13Speaker 1: asked if this means that creativity has been healed. The
- 5:16Speaker 1: answer is uh uh, nowhere near it. Creativity got broken?
- 5:22Speaker 1: Is that even proper English? It got broken, but it
- 5:26Speaker 1: did introduce newer ways to create on different shorelines that
- 5:30Speaker 1: take us to beaches we've never met. I'm Meryl, and
- 5:34Speaker 1: that's the daily mess.
