Oh my. As always, your observations are spot on. You've also brought up one of my favorite topics: Taylor Swift. As someone who identifies as a Perennial but who is seen as Gen X and whose favorite artist will always be Shirley Manson, I often surprise people when I say that I'm a Swiftie. Yes, it's true that I am a fan of a lot of her music. There is no denying she can craft a a great pop song, but what is most meaningful to me is how the community she has created is so positive and supportive. Taylor Swift acts as a bridge between so many different groups, including generational tribes. On top of connecting people, her songs even help certain fans tell their own stories. If you have time and are interested, read how a therapist has found value in Taylor Swift's work. https://www.nytimes.com/2023/06/17/opinion/taylor-swift-mental-health.html
