From festivals to streamers, the musical past has never been as present as it is now
I am in the sixth cycle of life, according to Rudolf Steiner. The Austrian esoteric thinker, who died in 1925, split a person’s span into seven of these cycles, each linked to the Moon, the Sun or a planet. Dismayingly, at the age of 52, I am one away from my final cycle: Steiner’s framework ends when a person is 63. Spookily, he himself breathed his last when he was 64. It’s easy to mock this kind of reasoning as astrological hocus-pocus.
Generational conflict used to be to the fore in the waxing and waning of musical cycles. Punks in 1970s Britain derided hippies and their elaborate psychedelia as geriatrics. Meanwhile, the punk scene itself, despite posing as a year zero, was actually an act of revivalism. It unmuzzled the primitive noise of the original rock and roll revolution, neutered by record labels on its arrival to British shores in the 1950s.
