Pulp's front man, Jarvis Cocker, was not exactly impressed: "I thought it was a despicable record. With a clever play on words they covered the fact that they thought E's were good and got it to Number One."

Face facts poptimism hacks, your a scam. (forksclovetofu), Friday, 21 November 2014 05:31 (nine years ago) link

The fact that editorials on poptimism, critical or not, are still being published like its 2001 is depressing. Why haven't we moved on from this conversation? That NYT piece also inevitably comes across as reactionary and unconvincing in its analysis of music + network culture. Lazy internet criticism is worse than lazy music criticism imo.
