At least Lizzo sort of wears her heart on her sleeve. Go back and listen to their albums. Mind you, you like Iron Maiden so you're basically an idiot.

And I don't just mean the ultra-contrived "quirkiness" of Cate Blanchett's appearance and performance. Everything about this is genuinely fucking dreadful. Look at me Im crazy.

I like pop music to do something else. I like the Sensational Alex Harvey Band, I like Sparks, I like Kraftwerk, I like folk who do things differently. I hate the fact that if it's different it's somehow considered elite. I hate boring meat and veg rock. I love fun, new and engaging pop music.

Each to their own Well, in the same way that everything has context and comes from somewhere. I don't see pop music in a different way as art or theatre or any cultural creative thing. I love the visceral drive of Oasis's first album, the diamond pop of Sound of the Underground, the way at 13 I could t stop having Nevermind on repeat. But, I enjoy music both emotionally and in what artists aim for. It's not all about the heart. I like things that make me seek out other things.

It's not for me and I was being a bit facetious. That's my annoyance. I'm not elitist. But if some artist does something different they are called middle class wankers. That's proper elitist. And moreover is dull. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I get what you mean but live shows are to entertain the crowd right there. Take the arctics for example. I saw them the other week and they played pretty much the same set at glasto. I can see what they are trying to do, they are miles more than just a rock and roll, lager lout singalong band, but without the latter, its just shit and boring and the crowd hate it. A live show to me is face value. Especially on that magnitude. Rick Astley put on a great show, his music is shit and soulless though. All depends what your after.

Members Lt. Aldo Raine Posted June 27, 2023 Members Share Posted June 27, 2023 Pretentious, try-hard, talentless nonsense in my opinion I wouldn't argue it's solely a middle class thing but that kind of performance does seem to attract a particular type of middle class person Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Me and Kent watched Sonic Youth at Glastonbury. It was shit and we both loved them. My thought is that it's become a highlight hit heavy blast it out of the park thing. I don't think it ever was that before. Its full of folk paying a shit ton of money to party and have a good time (nowt wrong with that at all) But if it now is that, stop pretending it's anything else. I personally wouldn't pay that sort of money to have Rick Astley play drums to ACDC. Also, some bands are great in that space, others are better in smaller places. It's not a competition.
