Rock'n'Roll

Check it out, it's a whole long-ass essay about the genesis of sweet, sweet indie-pop. Gentlemen, I give you: Twee As Fuck. It's fascinating. I love shit like this, the history of pop-culture, written as it happens. It's like New Journalism without all that Tom Wolfe bullshit. Also, as with all things at Pitchfork, when you read it you realize that you are such a sell-out corporate whore because you listen to mainstream bands like Wolf Parade and The Hold Steady, and not the real indie scene. You thought that your collection of Husker Du b-sides and French noise-rock bootlegs made you "cool" or "alternative" or "indie"? Whatever, jock. Why don't you just get it over with and listen to Good Charlotte.
