I Keep Writing the Same Poptimism Piece Because Nothing Ever Changes
- h2odragon 3y agoThe cultural affection for Orthodoxy is expressing itself in many ways. The folks who want to make and enjoy experimental, non-pop music are more empowered to do so and share their work than ever before. They're just not getting talked about by the people who are convinced they're more important than the rest of us. We've also had the recent "bad" hits; songs that're popular but shouldn't be: CMT pulling videos and radio stations refusing requests etc. Are they popular or are they "subversive"? Are we changing what "popular" means now?
