Focusing on Generation YZ...

Late Boom mothers are already considered the best, and their children are identified as Generation YZ.

People focus on the fathers of Generation YZ also born in Late Boom ... so Generation Z feels more pleasure from their fathers's side, too.

Branding - Is it wanted or ethical?

What do you think of finding greatness and only helping some of the great and not others?

2009

This was probably one of the best years 3rd to 1992-1998 and 2002-2005, peaking at 1997-1998 and 2005.

The internet was going in full swing, and people are coming of age at different levels.  The world has gotten together in various ways, already.

What happened???  Why is everyone so down-in-the-dumps 2006-present? That's almost 15 years.  When will it ever change, before it's too late for more people?

For some, the innocent and possibly carefree days of school have come to an end, and parents are turning into grandparents and great figures are retiring.  The world changed as recent generations left for college.  Many people are changing their majors in college or may be unhappy with their choice compared to other options/wishes/goals.

Making up a Story - Options for Your Life Career

It seems people want to make the story fit as to whether or not you chose something early on in childhood, presenting you with college at the end without those talents as options, like being a great violinist.  They make it sound like there was a reason rather than looking for the truth.

Musicians and Minimum Wage Positions

They both tend to feel they are doing something that's real work that no one else wants to do, when they compare themselves to others.  They feel they are ethical people more than others.  They even get uptight about it.  It's interesting yet can follow logically that musicians appeal to art in hard work without getting as much credit as solo singers or dancers and that minimum wage workers do important things without getting paid as much.

Is it guaranteed to be worth trying things in life if you're not white or a mixed white?

Also, does it matter what nonwhite blood you are?

Like, what about playing classical music or going to a prestigious school?  Would you get torn down, anyway?

Schools should all offer classical music, and everyone should feel welcome to play with others and perform solos.

How likely are you to be able to settle on something you like early enough??

Could times like 2005 ever be recreated?

Charlie and the Chocolate Factory (2005) came out in the summer.  It seems the world has become a bit rebellious and smart alec, maybe jealousy or competitive fandom, since Johnny Depp became popular both in this move and starting 2003 the Pirates of the Caribbean series.  It came out at a pinnacle moment, after something sensitive like when Titanic (1997) came out.  Also, posting online was still popular, as good home computers with the internet had just come out.  The only generations everyone cares about are going through important times, too, focusing on comparing Generation Z to Generation X and how Late Boomers are the only functioning model, compared to both older and younger generations.  The only generations anyone cares about is Late Boomers and Generation Z, sometimes comparing Generation Y to Generation X too though.

Any Opportunity - Nationality/Hometowns, Ethnicities, "Race?"

Germans know they are well-liked, and a lot of people like them and are friendly to them and things go okay with them but not other nice people, too.

Classical music is something a lot of people wish they could play, not just as a beginner pianist.  Germans happen to be set up very well in this like no other country has achieved well.

Actually, when it gets down to life, Americans are pretty racist in classical music and it's not good.  I think Europe is generally all against it, being like this, and you know they put effort to show a lot of care for young Americans today in past years.  What can they do?

Also, there is always some excuse for racism against people just living their lives trying to succeed as individuals, and good people who are not all white get cut down.  It is true many nonwhite people "make it."  People are targeting people who can seem white if they are not all white from succeeding.  What about Elizabeth Warren? a great person easy to say but bullied by young people for having Native American indian and trying to say bad things she did with it, like getting financial aid for being Native American indian I think pretty much, which isn't something bad I think to talk about.  I did support her and tried to connect and made a group on Facebook, but it didn't work and she stepped down.

Pretty much, when I left home for college, all the adult figures became racist, thinking I'm exotic, saying it, and then just not talking to me.  Even Hollywood set up and made epic fail.

I was in music, but I didn't feel encouraged after my 2nd semester and the summer planning to do a lot of music.  I feel I went through a lot of trauma and can't do it anymore.  They promote Germans who play classical music but mostly not as well, though, in ways.  I wasn't really that advanced, but I had good technique, though not to claim I'm like the best at everything.  People would say I'm invalid like it was just luck, too.

What happened to the young Europeans like Germans who were so encouraging to us Americans and to me?  I feel I was framed like investigated like I wasn't okay with others, no one else though investigated.

I ended up at home with my own parents, instead, not as much interest in Hollywood as what I did and with who does it I find, too.  If I weren't interested socially, maybe I'd be more independent, but things are a lot of work, a lot of quantity and not quality and a lot of unfairness and annoyance.  I don't really see the result being effective.

Are Americans more likely to become primarily professional orchestral musicians or keyboardists?

Playing music is great, and my parents put me in piano lessons because I played a little keyboard I got when I was 2 years old.  I wanted to sing since I was 5 and play violin since I was 6, or the flute if I wasn't allowed.  I was interested in oboe being a challenge and in viola for being "special;" so, for a long time I never really picked.

I sorta miss piano and organ, but playing an orchestral instrument I may be more likely to stick with it more than other kinds of instrumentalists.  A lot of people in Europe seem to focus on awkward keyboard instruments weirder than an accordian, for their idea of folk music or even other things.

What could I do?  I was an organ major, but I'd prefer to be a performer than a professional church musician.  You know, I was in church choir mostly age 8-20.  I played piano, keyboard, and organ for church.  I accompanied 2 Catholic masses on electric keyboard as a senior in high school and usually one line parts on electric keyboard for 3 musicals in high school.

Also, people think to get intricate and skilled at violin you need to start as a toddler or small child.  Well, I'm doing violin, and I did a group class when I was in my 1st year of college for the Music Education degree, and it it was like an hour 3 days a week and I wonder if I was the only one who practiced, which was like 2 minutes or less a day.  I brought it around with me.  Then, I went back about a month before turning 30 years old and took private violin.  I taught myself for awhile, and now I'm majoring in it in college online, for the Bachelor of Arts.  In total, I will have done about only 2 full semesters of music coursework and general studies on the side to get this.  I'm going to be 34 years old in about 2 months.  I'll probably graduate in about a year, unless I need to take more violin or get more advanced to do the Senior Recital or just need more violin credits but everything else done.  It's a bit irritating on the whole, and Spring Break is almost over.

Virtual Reality - To Do Ballet or Not to Do Ballet, That Is the Question

It all seems rather confusing when you think about it.  Most girls seem to do dance at age 3.

For me, it's hard to say.  Where I lived age 12-20, it was either school dance/cheer/flag teams, modern dance which many people may quit in high school, or an array of ballet schools in an array of levels of accomplishment in the end.  They also say to bank on ballet if you're that age because they make better dancers in the end.  So, I was allowed to take ballet once a week at age 12 years old and later on got busier though so didn't take more classes until college.  The school I went to in most of high school later on was small and homey.  The one before was actually a modern dance studio; I wanted to go with my age, but when they said to wait and I didn't wait I got put with younger kids, too bad, same at the next studio.  I was gonna do dance, but my mom wanted me in piano too still, though I could use the exercise.  Piano paid off in some ways to me, sort of a fun activity alone; I like accompanying people for fun on piano.

Does anyone remember this?  Remember when we paid for the internet like this?  Imagine you're in the 1990s and suddenly you encounter this, both fun and a responsibility.  I was only 11 I think when it came out and we got it and it was popular.  I just wish I got a BlogSpot earlier.  It seems like internet communication is out of style.. it's all about new generations who were babies with cell phones.  It's not easy to communicate using technology because people are from a more modern generation where there's less quality time outside of what's modern.  People are more preoccupied and probably know more people than others from before all this communication technology.
