"I wish the rock 'n' roll scene to be back in"
About this Quote
The line also plays like a generational tell. Fraser came up when rock functioned as mainstream rebellion: radio-ready, yes, but still tied to subcultures and physical spaces. Today, rebellion is often individual and algorithmic. You can dress the part and stream the classics without ever entering a scene that pushes back, excludes, initiates, or makes you earn it. His phrasing, “to be back in,” implies a return to something popularly present, not a niche revival - a desire for a culture that creates shared reference points and collective catharsis.
Subtext: give me culture that feels a little less frictionless. Not sanitized “content,” but community, risk, and noise - the kind that leaves your ears ringing and your ego slightly bruised.
