Generation Z, those born between 1997 and 2012, have been branded with a chilling moniker: "Generation Doom." But what's behind this stark label? Tonight, why are our youth, who should be brimming with hope and ambition, drowning in a sea of despair? Many Gen Z's wake up each day questioning the very point of trying. The life their parents enjoyed - a home, a family, financial stability - seems like a far-flung fairytale, replaced by a grim reality of crushing debt, astronomical housing costs, and a job market as stable as quicksand. Add in the toxic mix of the looming specter of climate change, unyielding political turbulence and unrest, and the relentless negativity pumped through social media feeds, and you've got a perfect storm of despair. But is it all doom and gloom? Or is there a glimmer of hope hidden beneath the surface?

Gen Z are growing increasingly disillusioned and pessimistic about the state of the world around them. A major multi-country study found that over 50% of young people believe that humanity is doomed. Gen Z or “Generation Doomer” witnessed the hope of obtaining their parents' and grandparents' American Dream lifestyles disappear after reaching adulthood. No wonder young people are angry, despondent, and hopeless. Young generations are cynical about their careers, the climate crisis, economic stability, interpersonal relationships, and the inability of their governments to govern effectively. Young professionals decry they work twice as hard as boomers and receive none of the benefits. Doomers aren't even trying to hit milestones like homeownership- instead they're doom-spending on outlandish travel and luxury goods. Many Doomers say they not only have no hope for the future- they can't stop doom-scrolling about all of the atrocities in the world, creating a vicious cycle of emptiness. On the other hand, futurists say we've faced eras of mass critical stress several times and humans have always evolved, adapted, and survived. For all we know, our lives in the future could be beyond our wildest dreams. The question we're asking tonight is- are these Doomers just contributing to their own plight and downfall?

After snapping up the 2018 "Album of the Year" with Kult 45 we talk exclusively to Otep. She gives us an intriguing insight into the album, the inspiration behind it, comparisons to "Generation Doom", how it feels to be a two time winner, the political nightmare that is happening in the States right now, a fascinating story about Jim Morisson's ghost, being signed after just four shows and how Sharon & Jack Osbourne were a pivotal part of the process, the amazing story behind the track "Equal Rights, Equal lefts" and so much more. Otep is certainly one of a kind and we wouldn't want her any other way!

On this episode of INSIDE MUSIC, host James Shotwell calls Otep Shamaya to discuss her band's thrilling new album, Generation Doom. Otep has spent nearly two decades redefining how people think about modern rock, and she tells James about all she has learned from the experience. Otep and James also discuss the fight for equality, the responsibility of artists to address the current political climate, and a whole lot more.
Otep Shamaya, known for her outspoken and honest nature, brings it to the podcast this week. We talk about her new record Generation Doom and how it almost didn't happen, how her history informs her present, how the music industry almost ruined her passion for music, her work as a voiceover artist and what it feels like to have regained the passion for her art. We could only fit in part of our lengthy interview, but we talked at length about politics and the state of the union. The full interview, including her take on the current U.S. Presidential race, is available to members of our Patreon family at chuckandgodless.com. Chuck and Godless talk about crowd funding fatigue; are you tired of being the go-to source for funds for your favorite bands? With more and more artists attempting to monetize their work individually -- to record, tour, buy a new van or pay for their medical bills -- have we reached a tipping point, or are those things what we should be spending our money on in the first place? Perhaps that money you've been saving on music the last two decades by downloading it for free needs to be put to better use than picking up a grande latte if you really want your favorite band to make a new album.
