Clearly, this is a symptom of the much larger Saxophone Deficiency Syndrome. Neglect of the reed instruments shows how far we as a society have fallen.

When I was a kid, the sax was cool

The IT department I'm working with on my current Drupal project still considers it the standard in tandem with Redis, though there are new things coming down the pipe that they are researching. I know NGinx caching and Fastly have been mentioned in conversation, but they aren't making a change yet.

Your statement rings true for me as well, except for the Lupus and racism parts. I'm sorry you have to deal with that shite. In my case, it's just from living the nerd lifestyle in the Pacific Northwest. It seems to get worse as I age. Recent pic of me:

It's weird. Is there a coolness factor in play here that people are after? For example, have you ever encountered anyone that wanted to be a Pretend Latvian? I never have, despite there being nifty song festivals and that Midsommar documentary...just not cool enough in comparison, I guess.

New Order provided a significant portion of the soundtrack to my middle and high school years, including my mother's descent into mental illness. Their 'Substance' album will always hold a dear place in my heart for getting me through those difficult years. 'Technique' kept me going. Good stuff!
