i've received a lot of bad comparisons over the years, but comparisons to this ariel pink character may be the worst i've ever heard.
as far as i can tell, he's some kind of 60s novelty act, right? i write futuristic chaotic noise rock.
i'll admit i've only heard two or three songs, and i've skipped through all of them (because he couldn't even catch my attention for ten seconds), but i seem to be the precise opposite of this guy.
i mean, 60s music from the 60s was mostly garbage.
who needs to hear 60s music from the 2010s? what's the point? why not just go climb into your great-grandmother's grave?
what's weird is that the young people nowadays seem to look at the 60s the same way that conservatives of my generation once looked at the 50s - it's a simpler time, when things were perfect, before the complications of modern existence.
a fantasy, of course. there were significant riots in the 50s, and even more riots in the 60s than the 50s. if i was alive at the time, i wouldn't be singing dylan songs in the park with the other dipshit hippies, i'd be out taking part in them...
i think that's why the comparison bothers me. he's a fucking hippie.
or at least i think he is, i don't know much about him.
i might be wrong, i dunno.
i'm not really interested in wasting the time listening to it to figure that out.
