My great uncle was from the lost generation, born in 1900 in Prussia and moved to to Chicago in 1910. I knew him until I was about 21, when he passed. He was the greatest guy, very sweet and kind, and a very hard worker. Thank you for the lovely documentary.

Hemingway's description toward the end is what happens to every "scene." The Beats, the hippies, the punks, etc. It starts with something real, grows until it begins drawing those seeking "the next big thing" into its orbit. Even something like grunge, I remember Cobain talking about how one day the audience was suddenly full of the kind of guys who would've beat his ass in high school. My scene, our scene, when it comes, will it happen to us too? I was going to say let's try to prevent the ugly part, honey, but I think that part is inevitable. And, anyway, it's the scene itself that matters, not the hangers-on toward the end. You always get barnacles, my love. Can't stop that.

47:05 Josephine Baker was treated like dirt and almost beaten to death for being black in the US where she was born and raised . In Paris she was not only lauded as a great dancer and entertainer she was courted by white european aristocrats and princes, became lovers of some of them and married a few . She stayed in France during the Nazi Occupation and fought and worked against the nazis in the French Resistance "underground"

Ironic that we let others TELL us what “great art” is when the artist himself would rebel against such a thing. I no more want to be TOLD what great art or writing is…than I want to be told what being “LOST” is. As the cliche goes “Not everyone who wanders is lost”. It seems to me these great thinkers were anything but “lost”. They always seemed to be exactly where they wanted to be.

I see that many commentators are asking where such a place is now. Well, nowhere. You might ask why. I'll tell you. The US became the country that ruined art. Back in the 20s people were creating real art, literature, and poetry. And today there is no art except for a few people who are working hard trying to restore it. The US is a graveyard of any art. It reminds me of the USSR. Mediocre art is flourishing, people who are being called artists in the US, would not be allowed to sell their rubbish even on the street of Europe. The US celebrating mediocre wannabes. Major museums are showing nicely arranged trash and call it conceptual art. Dead shark is being called art. Wake up, people. The whole world is looking at us and laughing.

I agree and I have never ever been into Damien Hirst and I don't like him as a person , nor the people who idolize him ... I don't even like saying his name . Corrupt also , some years back he designed a skull encrusted with diamonds and they tried to say it sold for $300 million when in fact he and his associates were able to come up with the money to 'buy ' it , giving the public the false notion that it had sold for $300 million . ( I might have gotten the numbers wrong but that is the general gist of the story ... greed , corruption , and vanity . )

And dont forget how he got his start : placing a dead cow on a street corner in New York ... and some art critic friend of his saying it's a great work of art ... and then the dumbed-down masses agreeing with that promulgation . A modern version of The Emperor's New Clothes . Perhaps the story of the dead bovine isn't true . ... I read it years ago and seems very believable .

Still, he was neither honest about it …nor much of anything else. He also was not terribly loyal to wives or to friends and could be vicious and cruel. I am more interested in aspects of his personal life than any of his writing. I have now read and reread many of his “great” works and find them dull.

I couldn’t tell you where it was in the 2010s. I initially thought Seattle because in 2017, UNESCO designated it as a city of literature, but the CoVid outbreak starting there sorta squashed that. (Never mind the economic skullduggery brought on by the tech bros, but that’s another discussion) Besides, you already mentioned the Great Northwest as having its time in the 90s/2000s. If I had to guess, it’ll happen somewhere where the economic, cultural, and social/political conditions combined create a proverbial “perfect storm.” Where that’ll be after this pandemic, I really don’t know. They mentioned in the video that “Paris is where the 20th century was.” It would’ve been more accurate to say that’s where the 1920s were. I really hope, though, that the 2020s, in the sense used here, will be in the New World. Hell, it’ll probably be a city nobody expected.

I felt just the same way! Where it will happen, who knows? You are right in that if something like the Lost Generation happens again after this pandemic is through, it will have to be somewhere where the conditions you listed are right for the "perfect storm," as you put it. I definitely agree that it'll be where nobody expects. Of course, the pandemic has done a lot of damage... Having a "Lost Generation" type of thing again (hopefully stateside) would require a lot of help from the federal government. Subsidies for publishers, grants to writers, etc. It's going to take a lot of effort.

Our lost generation is shut out by the masses and has more to do with people who grew up with hardships like poverty or broken families. People who are afraid to speak their minds because they'll be called a bigot when what they're thinking isn't even harmful, and when how they think is perfectly sound and conscious.
