“You will grow out of the things you cherish when you are almost 13, in the middle of 1996: the clothes and the haircut (thank God), the music and the movies, the showtunes you surreptitiously listened to on your headphones. But Rent will live on somehow, even though Bohemia has died many times over, and its cultural ubiquity will both feel conventional and straight. You may even see it as a sign that things do change, little by little, and every generation will get to experience Rent—and hopefully find their own new versions that will continue to challenge the status quo of the mainstream. ”
