He's not anymore. We've had our eyes on him for a few days, he was sort of amusing to observe in a "lol nobody knows I'm me, gree heee heeee" sort of way.

"rockist" was a term coined by Melody Maker journalists in the early 80s to denote a sort of attitude that is obsessed with authenticity, worships the canon (ie only likes things if they have/will "stand the test of time", favours albums over singles, mind over body, moralism over materialism.
This sounds like a good definition, and let me add, those attitudes are good ones, and it makes rockism look like a positive thing.
― Hongroe (Geir Hongro), Thursday, 23 June 2011 13:41 (fourteen years ago)
It doesn't necessarily have anything to do with "rock" though, mind you. For instance, I would say that "Rio" by Duran Duran fits with the criteria about. Even though some older "rockists" may have claimed it wouldn't last in 1982.
― Hongroe (Geir Hongro), Thursday, 23 June 2011 13:43 (fourteen years ago)
hi geir, you didn't let us know what you thought of this proto-rockist 19th c piano masterpiece in The Geir Hongro listening club
― tipper gore (nakhchivan), Thursday, 23 June 2011 13:46 (fourteen years ago)
Rockism = everyone should like what I like because what I like is OBJECTIVELY great.
This sounds more like a definition of positivism.

Rockism is "Mojo" magazine. Rockism is Geir Hongro. Rockism is your dad's favorite radio station. Rockism is Jim DeRogatis, usually. "Rockism" is to ILM as "fascism" is to, say, democraticunderground. And no, Geir, I'm not calling you a fascist.

The Clash and The Misfits are classic rock?

it's called classic rock because it's rock that's classic, duh.
especially when it's also hip-hop.

The Clash is definitely, definitely classic rock, but we called it "new wave" back then.
