    Pop is not enough

    barthel:

    Pop is music whose social context is at least as important as its musical content, and that’s why it’s interesting - that’s maybe the only reason it’s interesting in a critical sense. To strip that away would be to fundamentally diminish the music. And the music still feels pretty powerful to me.

    Or at least this is what I tell myself.
