JAKE CLELAND: 52 Albums: #37
Do you ever consider that the positive contrarianism that’s led to greater pop appreciation brings with it a pressure to find greatness in all pop music while denying that you just might be totally indifferent to it?Replace “positive contrarianism” with “culture” and “pop” with “[any genre of music.]” BOOM! Minds blown.
Personally I think exaggerated cynicism is a niche we need to explore further.
Oh, wasn’t trying to be a cynical jerk (though hey, I’m always up for that)—it really could apply to just about any genre, don’t you think? I feel like I recognize that impulse in a lot of places. Either that or I’m presuming too much about people’s intentions.
