Velvet Generation

The year is 2073.

A century ago, radio transmissions from Earth passed through a strange ripple in space, dropping rock music on the mystified ears of an alien world. For five glorious years, the aliens learned to love the planet they believed to be at the other end of this magnificent signal.

When the music stopped as mysteriously as it had begun, the aliens embarked on a generational pilgrimage to discover the source of the music.

Nearly a century later, the aliens have arrived, but Earth is not what they expected. Humanity has taken a dark turn, silencing music, art, literature... any form of expression they believe might inspire "dangerous" thoughts. The Ministry of Music dominates the world, crushing rebellious culture with steel boots.

With no choice but to move forward, the Starchildren descended, joining the few Earthlings still carrying a spark of rock'n'roll. They have catalyzed a new rock & roll revolution that will break the chains of the Ministry on the soul of humanity.
