I can dig the earnestness of this kind of stuff. I can dig the honesty. But just being earnest and honest isn't enough. I mean, Bright Eyes is earnest and honest. It still sucks.

Lex's analysis has made me realise that this song corresponds exactly to the picture of Kafka Judith Butler put forward the other week:
precisely because of this apparently objective and rigorous mode of writing, a certain horror opens up in the midst of the quotidian, perhaps also an unspeakable grief

and I know these gifs are meant as mocking but face it the longer you look at them -- behold ACTUAL 13 YEAR OLD GIRLS looking completely awkward on camera -- if this is the way things are going, this is 9000x better than kesha or katy perry or any of that straight up bullshit that I've seen grown people on this board make an argument for that is absolutely, inarguably confusing and poisoning the landscape for other actual 13 year old girls
things like "Hot In The Airport" will never make 2.5 million hits in two days, I know this is something different, but it's the same lineage and it's a hell of a lot more interesting to me than most of the stuff usually taking up space on new answers

i thought it was 'just a bad song' for the first min or so
kid has an endearingly unaffected manner, and one imagines a preponderance of 'you be the youtube star' competitions in which ordinary tweens compete (or more hopefully, are randomly selected) for a $20k autotune + greenscreen makeover

I mean it is interesting -- the lineage is less true complete-outsiders like Ken DeFeudis and more the dial-a-song poem people as mentioned upthread. I know this is a factory, not true expressive wellspring, and I think the people saying 'creepy' are more responding to the factory aspect of it. But I like that too, the factory aspect is more laid bare here than ever before, if you find this creepy it completely exposes all the other factory pop you've ever let yourself like, and I like that tooyou don't get to 2.5 million hits by accident, this isn't just 'oh wow this is the worst', this is recognition― Milton Parker, Tuesday, March 15, 2011 5:32 AM (4 hours ago) Bookmark
