| Anthony Fantano takes on PJW's "The Truth on Popular Culture" |
| << < (10/15) > >> |
| Doughboy:
pjws voice is seriously grating to me |
| Poliwhirl:
anybody saying "pop culture is just so unintelligent nowadays, i was born in le wrong generation" is an arrogant, pretentious prick and shouldn't be taken seriously. the only reason you would special interestize an inaccessible time period is because you want to be contrarian and "different." society has become more productive and intelligent than ever before, our standards are just raising faster than people can realistically meet. |

ok i'm not making a point to prove either side here, but i'm vibing to this right now and i wanted to share. anybody else listen to Childish Gambino's (an extremely popular artist, mind you) new album "Awaken, My Love!"? This dude makes rap albums his entire career, is on a DOPE ass show called Community, writes some of the best rhymes i've heard in my entire life, and then releases a totally unexpected, awesome album of music that fuses the sounds of today's electronic music with the classic rock sounds (60s and 70s) of yesteryear. I think this is one of a few examples one can find of artists dissenting from the status quo (who were previously part of it) and remaining on the top of the pile. |
