this...it's really just noise but somehow even shittier. Still worth
having, though, for the same reason as The Boy Bands Have Won, and All
The Copyists and The Tribute Bands and The TV Talent Show Producers
Have Won, If We Allow Our Culture To Be Shaped By Mimicry, Whether From
Lack Of Ideas Or From Exaggerated Respect. You Should Never Try To
Freeze Culture. What You Can Do Is Recycle That Culture. Take Your
Older Brother’s Hand-Me-Down Jacket and Re-Style It, Re-Fashion It to
the Point Where It Becomes Your Own. But Don’t Just Regurgitate
Creative History, Or Hold Art And Music And Literature As Fixed,
Untouchable And Kept Under Glass. The People Who Try To ‘Guard’ Any
Particular Form Of Music Are, Like The Copyists And Manufactured Bands,
Doing It The Worst Disservice, Because The Only Thing That You Can Do
To Music That Will Damage It Is Not Change It, Not Make It Your Own.
Because Then It Dies, Then It’s Over, Then It’s Done, and The Boy Bands
Have Won. |
