Individuality amongst Gen - Z is primary in terms of musical and self expression. This stems from both an antecedent notion of sibling rivalries and countercurrents stemming from parental guidance, restriction, the open internet and generational representation on the government level. I agree that the societies of the past are important archetypes in terms of executing and establishing the fundamentals of self expression, individuality, and unqiueness. However, serving content to social audiences has never been more facile. This allows for pesonal and intrinsic artist development, as well as has the capacity to distort social image and indentity. While living caves as early humans, we most likely did not have mirrors to monitor our apperance, wellbeing, and vitality. Now, we i.e. millenials and gen-z have a constant digital reflection reminding us of who we are and who we want to be. . It can be utilized in a manner most consistent with the silver streamers i.e. in a passive manner, or in contrast to this apathetic digital non-revelation. Overall, I think the article hits the nail on the head in terms of your approach to unifying the great divide between generation gaps, social and digital organic content development, and once more, the ability to hone one's own personal identity.
