Traditionally, the purposefulness and relevance of a singer-songwriter were defined by something unique in their lyrical acumen, vocal skills and/or guitar or piano accompaniment. In the 1990s this paradigm was tested by the trend towards larger orchestrastion and towards electronic orchestration. In the 2000s it became harder and harder to give purpose and meaning to a body of work mostly relying on the message. Many singer-songwriters of the 2000s belonged to "Generation X" but sang and wrote for members of "Generation Y". Since "Generation Y" was inherently different from all the generations that had preceeded it, it was no surprise that the audience for these singer-songwriters declined. Since the members of "Generation X" were generally desperate to talk about themselves, it was not surprising that the number of such singer- songwriters increased. The net result was an odd disconnect between the musician and her or his target audience. The singer-songwriters of the 2000s generally sounded more "adult" because... they were.

  • Alt-Nation: Everything Is New
    Alt-Nation: Everything is New D Generation – Nothing Is Anywhere (Bastard Basement Records) D Generation return after 17-year hiatus since their last album, Through The Darkness, with Nothing Is Anywhere to serve up another gritty platter of rock ‘n’ roll from the bowels of Avenue A. On Thru The Darkness, D Generation dealt with the Rudy Giuliani-led Disney gentrification of New York City while the band was becoming in disarray, trapped in music business purgatory. Flash forward to 2016 where the hedge fund brigade has taken over New York City and rage is something one buys at Hot Topic. Nothing Is Anywhere kicks off with a nostalgia stomp-back reflecting back to a ’90s circus of freaks hanging out on a Tuesday night in “Queens of A.” The autobiographical anthem “Apocalypse Kids” channels hardcore sing-a-long swooping choruses in the most Cheap Trick way possible with all the “perfect imperfections” intact. Nothing Is Anywhere is no nostalgia go-cart as “20th Century Blues” has the swagger of a T-Rex chopping on The Hellacopters begging for change on the Bowery. “Militant” launches into a hardcore rage while defiantly ending with “you can’t touch my soul.” The infectious “Rich Kids” would be enough to make me actually heart radio if their DJs actually played it. “Piece of the Action” is an observation of the stark reality of looking out over the wealthy migrants who have come to New York looking for something that isn’t theirs. The reason why D Generation with their dirty Lower East Side Faces meets Dead Boys riffs and singer Jesse Malin’s clever turn of the lyrics matters is because Nothing Is Anywhere is raw and the real deal.

However, the speed of cave adaptation in some species suggests mechanisms operating over shorter timescales. To address these mechanisms, we used Astyanax mexicanus, a teleost with ancestral surface morphs (surface fish, SF) and derived cave morphs (cavefish, CF). We exposed SF to completely dark conditions and identified numerous altered traits at both the gene expression and phenotypic levels. Remarkably, most of these alterations mimicked CF phenotypes. Our results indicate that many cave-related traits can appear within a single generation by phenotypic plasticity. In the next generation, plasticity can be further refined. The initial plastic responses are random in adaptive outcome but may determine the subsequent course of evolution. Our study suggests that phenotypic plasticity contributes to the rapid evolution of cave-related traits in A. mexicanus. *For correspondence: [email protected] Competing interests: The Introduction authors declare that no A major problem in modern biology is understanding how organisms adapt to an environmental competing interests exist.

While magazines kept publicizing the "death of punk-rock", hardcore became a pervasive movement that did not leave any town (or country) untouched. As if galvanized by its own death, the movement took on a life of its own and became a genre within the genre. In the 1990s that genre, in turn, spawned a number of sub-genres. First and foremost, there was "emocore", the style invented in the late 1980s by Rites Of Spring and the Washington contingent. Their "emotional" hardcore alternated quiet and furious musical parts, admitted moody arrangements, indulged in time changes and mid-tempo rhythms, leveraged emotional singing that could whisper as well as shout within the same song, and was not limited to the short/fast format of hardcore. In other words, it was almost the negation of hardcore. While the genre was, by definition, rather loose, bands that fell into the category during the 1990s included: San Francisco's Jawbreaker, with Unfun (1990); Oregon's Heatmiser, the group of songwriter Elliott Smith and bassist Sam Coomes (formerly of Donner Party), with Dead Air (1993); Los Angeles' Weezer, the most successful of the batch, with Weezer (1994).
