Has DU changed?

I find my posts/replies are reponded to much less frequently than before the election. Are there just more posts, so that things disappear from the front page more rapidly? Perhaps it's a matter of topic? Not much to actually "discuss" yet? Have people of like mind to me dropped out?

Has anyone else had this experience?

I noticed the Twenty One Pilots song "Stressed Out" was nominated for record of the year. I love that song and I think it really captures the mood of the past year.

The articles I read talk about that band like they are the voice of the Millennials. It makes wonder if I am both Millennial and a Gen Xer at the same time. I was totally into Nirvana as teenager and they were always pegged as the essence of Gen X. No idea... I'm kind of off topic here, but I was just thinking about how weird that is.
