I agree with the point of accepting change, but what Pharrell isn't hearing from the other two is change isn't always a good thing.
Typically, when change has happened from one generation to the next, as far as art is concerned, it was usually a change for the better. A true evolution. But what we are currently witnessing is a devolution in music.
The younger kids don't see it because it's what they know, they're living in it, and they have an understandable urge to defend what they feel belongs to them.
But to a lot of folks who have actually lived through at least five or more shifts in music and culture, this current shift is pretty depressing. They know what music has been, where it could go, and understand that the shyt that's popular right now just ain't it.
And there's always gonna be the folks championing the slogan "good shyt is still being made, you just gotta look for it", but what folks who argue against that mantra is saying is, if good shyt is still being made, push that shyt to the forefront and let that be the true representation of this generation.
Because what's gonna happen is, when the shift happens, and good shyt always rolls back around, future generations are gonna look back at this time as one of the wackest times in music, and everything these kids are working for today will be laughed at and soon forgotten.
