I remember being 16 years old and hearing "Smells Like Teen Spirit" for the first time. I was sitting with a friend in a car in between classes, and he pulled out a cassette with a naked baby on the cover and said "listen to this." Music is the soundtrack not only of our lives but of the times. When I first heard @brckhmptn and @kevincinema I knew I was hearing/seeing something special. They are the quintessential group of the 21st century. They are a group of young people that met on the Kanye West fan forum, different skin colors, different sexual orientations, different body types. Not society's traditional view of what a boy band should look like. They have a show on Viceland called American Boyband which demonstrates this fact. Kevin Abstract from the group just released a new video for his song "Miserable America" off his sophomore album "American Boyfriend". This video had the same effect on me as seeing "Smells Like Teen Spirit" for the first time except the message from Abstract is anything but. The opening line "My boyfriend saved me, my mother's homophobic, I'm stuck in the closet. I'm so claustrophobic" opens the video at the scene of "Mr. Red's Conversion Camp" where we find Mr. Abstract strung up in the living room hanging from his feet in a dress shirt and tie. Booty girls in understated dress shake around him to convert his sexuality by taunting him with theirs...when one of the women suddenly realizes the futility of their actions and takes matters into her own hands. I'll let you watch the video to see what else happens, but as you're watching it think about what a monumental video this is. Here's a young gay black man being completely open and vulnerable to tell the world his experience in such a truthful, honest way that displays the tenor of our times in a creative way that is inspired by some of the greatest filmmaking/music that are at his fingertips and the tools readily available to make music that shares his own truth and connect with others that feel the same way. There might be a lot of shitty things happening in the world right now but after watching this video it's got me excited and hopeful for this next generation.
