Nonsense. Jean-Michel JARRE and David GETTA played modern pop songs
which where well known all over the world. I don't consider their
music as great, but they were as modern as they could be at their
time.

IMHO Jarre peaked early and (like many synthesists) got less engaging
the more he leaned into digital, sample-based instruments - but Oxygène
and Équinoxe are still on regular rotation at my house :)

“it should be clear by now to everyone that activist environmentalism (or environmental activism) is becoming a general ideology about humans, about their freedom, about the relationship between the individual and the state, and about the manipulation of people under the guise of a 'noble' idea. It is not an honest pursuit of 'sustainable development,' a matter of elementary environmental protection, or a search for rational mechanisms designed to achieve a healthy environment. Yet things do occur that make you shake your head and remind yourself that you live neither in Joseph Stalin’s Communist era, nor in the Orwellian utopia of 1984.”
