"When kids can't afford to see it anymore maybe we'll have a whole resurgence of garage bands all over America and this New Wave thing will start to mean something on a grass roots level"

- Lester Bangs

About this Quote

In this quote, Lester Bangs is revealing his belief that the commercialization of music has led to a decline in the authenticity and imagination of music. He recommends that when children are no longer able to pay for to go to shows and shows, there will be a resurgence of garage bands, which are known for their raw and unpolished sound. This, in turn, will revive the true essence of the New Wave motion, which originated as a disobedience versus mainstream music. Bangs thinks that this revival of garage bands will restore the grassroots level of music-making, where artists create music for the love of it rather than for earnings.
