Roger Daltrey: The ‘Woke' Generation is Creating a Miserable World
2021-05-06
[Summit] The Who legend Roger Daltrey says the ’woke’ generation is creating a miserable world that serves to stifle the kind of creative freedom he enjoyed in the 60s.

The iconic frontman made the comments during a recent appearance on Zane Lowe’s Apple Music 1 podcast.

"I don’t know, we might get somewhere because it’s becoming so absurd now with AI, all the tricks it can do, and the woke generation," said Daltrey.

"It’s terrifying, the miserable world they’re going to create for themselves. I mean, anyone who’s lived a life and you see what they’re doing, you just know that it’s a route to nowhere," he added.

The singer noted how he was lucky to have lived through an era where freedom of speech was encouraged, not silenced.

"Especially when you’ve lived through the periods of a life that we’ve had the privilege to. I mean, we’ve had the golden era. There’s no doubt about that," he said.
