RE: Juliet & Daisy – Artists & Independent Women
That's a fun way to think of it, although my take on it is somewhat different.
The 19th century seemed to have been influenced by a powerful shift in our collective consciousness. Think of the music of Claude Debussy or Maurice Ravel, or the art of Vincent van Gogh, Renoir, Monet and many more, the breakthroughs in science, modern psychology, technology, development of Esperanto, and so much more. That was a monumental time and these ladies were in the thick of it :-)
There is of course not a thing as the time real change happened, and I agree that modernism started in the late nineteenth century. My remark was mainly (I guess) a slight satire over my parents generation who still think of themselves as the greatest game changers ever while really just being epigones of the early moderninsts :)
;-) I knew you meant it that way.
That's another discussion, but if you look at the music of the 60s, not just rock, but soul, country, jazz, R&B, Bosa Nova etc, it was indeed a magical time.
