Burly men become girly men, turning pop music into a wuss-case scenario
So why has this happened just now? Why has cutting-edge rock become so achingly elevated and precious? Like everything, a key part of the blame can be laid at the keyboard of the Internet. Not only has this game-changer made the average listener more sophisticated (at the cost of some immediacy), it has dismantled much of mass stardom in favor of cults, a configuration far more open to something arcane. Consider, too, the role of college, where this music finds a key part of its fan base and identification. The new generation of college kid isn’t the frathouse brat of old, fist-pumping his way to glory. It’s a cool, smart, evolved soul, sporting skinny jeans and aspiring toward polysexuality, or at least moving against any form of gender rigidity. To these folks, the phallic guitar of yore represents the moldiest of oldies, a cornball signifier of a sad time when numb-headed musclemen ruled the world. But there’s a matter of balance here. And right now, perhaps the only hard act of hipsters who make any attempt to even things out are the Black Keys , with their crunching guitar riffs and sexually charged vocals. If you want to stretch things a bit, you could also say there’s a whiff of the old gutsiness to Arcade Fire , though they have plenty of wussie elements mixed in with their more rousing ones.Sad Rap Songs - News
