"Like N*Sync With Guitars"

An article about Crush Management, who owns Fall Out Boy and Panic! At the Disco. Quite interesting, and validates my loathing for those bands.

“Panic! in particular - I think their musical history traces back to the first Third Eye Blind album,” he says. “That’s it. Like, the guy producing their record gave them ‘The Beatles Anthology.’ And they were very excited, but they didn’t know any of it.”

It's not like the boy band phenomenon at all. As the article openly admits, the bands were found, not put together. The fact that these guys put a bunch of like minded bands together and cross marketed them means fuck all. It's not a cabal; it's mainstream marketing. And, although the article fails to make mention of it, Fall Out Boy's latest record has gotten a strong, positive reaction from critics. The only thing this article serves to reinforce is why I find hipsters so frustratingly condescending. Naturally anything young people latch onto must be trash, right? Because it's not like their were any 14 year olds banging away at the drums listening to Zepplin in the 70s. Nor were there any screaming teenage girls at all those Beatles concerts way back when. Oh wait...

Whatever happened to the days people just enjoyed music for the sake of it? Taking potshots at entire genres for reasons that everyone knows already is such a cliché.

Calling things out for being cliche is so cliche.
