Once upon a time counter-culture made it a little easier for us. Once upon a time when it was about long hair vs. short hair for example, about Berghain vs. office hours or Morrissey vs. grilled meat. And today?

And what is pop doing? Well, the soundtrack! The songs of Dylan III are called Change, Bitcoin or The Art of Business and they sound like elevator music from Silicon Valley.

From finance capitalism via quantum computing to the Iran crisis – dynamic odes to a smart new world, TED-talk meets Philip Glass, hashtag: PostInternetPerformanceArtPop.
