Saw two of their "farewell" shows, 19 years apart (Haa), and I don't see how anyone can ever replace what they do, and have done.
Not even their new digital avatars

What's best about this particular breakup is
a) totally intentional on their part; "we've said what we had to say, we're good, thanks"
b) have resisted any and all attempt$ to bring them back/lure them for one-off things or tours
c) they actually did very brief and unexpected "reunion" things of the original four members (playing at a wedding reception; for an episode of Song Exploder; and for one song after being inducted to the Songwriters Hall of Fame) but have kind of gone back to their civilian lives peacefully.
The best example I can cite of "dealing with fame their way." And staying broken up. Preserving the (considerable) legacy for all time.

Wisdom, Experience, Deeper Pocketbooks And great stories. We know real music. We remember Led Zeppelin. Kiss is not merely a verb. It’s a band! But kiss is a verb too heh heh ;) When we golf you shop at the gap and Tiffany. Happy to offer fatherly advice and brotherly love. A shoulder to cry on and a friend to rely on. They keep on shouting you keep on shouting! I wanna Rock N Roll All Night! And Party Every Day! Thank you

They might suck now, but at least they suck together. I respect that.

Social media can encourage us to constantly seek out the novel and makes us feel like we're missing out if we don't.
It's much better for peace of mind, in my opinion, if we let go of the immediate, and use impermanence as our filter for information.
We don't all need to watch the latest streaming show, or hear the latest album.
What needs to find us, and what we need to find, usually finds a way

In a world where monopolization is allowed, sometimes you can only drop Trader Joe's for union busting, while keeping your Amazon account.
Real, wide change in this world might require a new 2020, but we can do a little bit better a little at a time
