i think Slipknot had a lot to offer the tech geek kid in my hs- outwardly, a way to sidestep an identity he felt uneasy with, and to endorse more violent expressions of rage than he might have been uncomfortable making overtly. inwardly, i have no doubt that the hostility and angst was relatable to him.

Obvs Fred Again being the grandson of the former owner of the Daily Mail tips the scales for whatever scene he falls in but I’m more referring the the wealth disparity of the fan base ;)― Agnes, Agatha, Germaine and Jack (Willl), Friday, May 19, 2023 6:39 AM (five months ago)Fred Again is great name for the Nu Metal revival.

He did an album with Eno, which I think was mentioned on the Eno thread.

Based on his Wikipedia page, he’s known Eno since he was a teen. Industry plant!

he is massive, ie festival headlining cross generational massive in the uk.

Well he is apparently playing 5 sold-out nights here in L.A. (starting tonite).

Oh, sorry, those are just the remaining nights of an 8-night residency(!)

Boy you lot really hate this electro-swing genre that I’ve never heard of.

Fred Again is massive, and while his stuff isn't awful there's nothing about it which inherently seems to explain his huge crossover popularity

it's almost like posh kids get a hidden leg up in their endeavours

the blissful life of never having heard electro-swing.... but one day... one day you'll be in a cafe and an electro-swing cover of Waiting Room will start playing, and you'll drop into hell like your man in Get Out, and never recover

Fred Again is inoffensive but I can see the appeal. Yes, his music seems to rely on the same formula and is on the simple side, but he really knows his gear, and if you see videos of him performing live - specially the boiler room set and his live studio videos he made during lockdown - it’s easy to see why he’s so popular, the precision in which he uses his sample pads in particular is mindblowing.
