Sounds like another old person complaining about young people being uncultured

It'd be great if it was a critique of our intellectual property laws and culture of paywalls and platform-anchored content, but I doubt the NYT would publish anything like that

It would be interesting yes, but this is something more anthropological I think. That would be a different article

Why has culture come to a standstill?

Then without self awareness rambles on about Manet.

It’s a dense article. Keep reading, he gets there.

Very interesting article, and well-written.

TL;DR: There’s nothing new in art or music, but that’s been the case many times before, and it’s not a problem. It’s new to us, but we can work it out.
