I recently had a professional outplacement consultant tell me this, and a few weeks later a recruiter offered me a contract job, after months of nothing.

Yes. I lived out a life, got married and everything. When I did wake up I just started crying like everything I had ever known just disappeared.

Looked at this thread to see if anyone mentioned anything like that.

Local shows. I used to go to 3 or 4 a week.

I stopped doing that around 2017 because I was getting too tired. More like two or three a month.

None anymore though. I have kids now and I moved away, there’s no venues out here.

By “concerts” do you mean a big production in a stadium or theatre/hall with seating and tickets are $80/person, that kind of thing? I’ve never been to one.

Are you implying that no younger bands are introspective, or share their thoughts in the world via their songs, because your favourite genre isn’t popular?

Seems like a very bad take.
