"Everything changes permantly. How boring if it wouldn't"
About this Quote
The intent is almost defiant. Schulze isn’t selling change as self-improvement or reinvention-as-brand; he’s insisting that permanence is the real fantasy, and a dull one. The second sentence is the hook: it reframes instability as a creative necessity, not a threat. Boredom is the enemy, and boredom is what happens when you demand stasis from systems that don’t offer it: art scenes, technologies, careers, even identities.
Subtextually, it’s a swipe at nostalgia and at the museum impulse in music culture, where genres get embalmed into “classic” periods and audiences ask artists to reproduce a past peak on command. Schulze came out of a postwar German avant-garde that distrusted fixed narratives and embraced process. In that context, change isn’t a slogan; it’s survival, and it’s composition. The line flatters no one, offers no comfort, and that’s why it works: it treats motion as the baseline reality, then dares you to admit you’d be bored without it.
