Maybe it's time for a revival of romantic-period classical music and styles.

It's funny, I'll occasionally get a student who rejects the idea that musical developments or trends or styles have any socio-political context or meaning (you know, rejecting the entire premise of the class). In other words, rock n roll just happened. So did punk and hip hop. Just occured out of nowhere. So I'll ask whether they think opera or bebop could dominate the charts next year. No, of course not. Why not, if it's all random? It just wouldn't. I have no idea how many figure it out after that.

You should force those students to write a paper defending their argument. CHANCES ARE, they have no idea what they even believe.

The power to assign random papers is much overestimated. But your larger point is correct. More generally yet, while students are decent at making arguments or identifying them in others, they aren't they adept at going the next step or two to consider the implication of an argument if you continue to follow the logic. They treat arguments as an end point rather than the basis for the real work of analysis—what happens if you apply it elsewhere? Mind you, I don't think at their age I was especially blessed with that skill or inclination. Better than them, but not overly.

I love how Calvin is alternately either a genius or an idiot, depending on what the punchline requires.

One of my all time favorite C&H

Calvin established himself as an Xer who was contemptuous of Boomers then and there.

You Xers even had your weird 90s easy listening revival!

We've done everything possible awful along the way. I'm confident that it'll be an Xer president who launches the missiles.
