By now, it's ubiquitous: the glow of cellphones held aloft at concerts. But artists like Mitski and Bruno Mars are asking fans to watch the show, not their phones.
Mistki performs on"Jimmy Kimmel Live!" on March 1.
While some fans sympathized, others said that smartphones were a necessity for young concertgoers. Some argued that phones helped alleviate issues like social anxiety and dissociation amid big crowds. After a day or two of inflamed discourse between her fans, Mitski's tweets were deleted. "I think she has such a liberated approach to music-making," said Rocky, 21 . "I used to record everything, but I realized that whatever satisfaction I [can get] watching those videos, it wasn't worth the attention I was giving my phone in real-time."
TikTok had not yet taken off in the United States when Jean M. Twenge, professor of psychology at San Diego State University, began writing her 2017 book, " "Gen Z was in dress rehearsal for the pandemic," says Twenge. "They were already going out less. They were driving less. They were already communicating more digitally than in person. They were already depressed. But young people didn't ask to be born into a world where technology has been designed to be addictive — I mean, it's done a number on all of our attention spans. I'm seeing more young people speak out against social media exhaustion than ever before.
"TikTok is a massive discovery platform for music, but users post 10 seconds of a song in videos, and it goes viral without anyone knowing who the artist is, the story behind it or anything," Cutler explained to The Times. "It all feels super disconnected. And when we're in the studio, the lack of attention span these days makes an artist think about writing shorter songs, instead of thinking about the art.
