what happened to antisocial behaviours in interviews? there were so many artist who were assholes to the media and didn't give a shitsonic youth and blur bullying NardwuarHenry Rollins buying the little kid Bon Dylan with Times
It was kinda gay
>>130707104cancel culture maybe?
>>130707104These used to be fleeting moments on Live TV and now they are on the internet forever
>>130707104Interviewers started kissing major ass instead of being contrarian trolls, their traditional role. Look at nardwuar, he went from being a total dickweed always poking and prodding at people to eating the assholes of every artist he interviews
>>130707154you can bet Taylor Swift has never been asked in an interview about the first time she gave head whereas in the 90s that would be an almost expected question
>>130707104Because they knew it wouldn't kill their career, and if anything it actually helped their career. Nowadays with cancel culture and such it would be career suicide plus it's also harder for artists to embellish and romanticize their lives nowadays when their lives are already on social media and there are people with cameras 24/7>sonic youth and blur bullying NardwuarNardwuar is staged you know?
>>130707104acting like an asshole was a Xoomer thing, Zoomlennials don't go in for it so much
>>130707222>XoomerIt peaked with Gen X but Boomers from the 60s were the ones who started it
>>130707187Funny you mention that. Howard Stern spent years asking every female musician invasive sexual questions, but in the early 2010s he abruptly stopped doing this and starting gushing and kissing the feet of every interview subject he got
>>130707104I remember an interview in Finland with John Lydon and the interviewer was like ''what do you think of Finland?'' and he was like ''it's awful, and it rains''
>>130707222not at all, Millenials very much grew up on terminal douchebag culture in the 90s-00s and only stopped doing it in the 2010s like >>130707252 said. in either case it was consciously or unconsciously encouraged during the Obama years to act cute and LOLsoquirky instead.
>>130707325>What do you think of England, John?
>>130707104Modern artists are cheeky nice guys not antisocial burnouts
>>130708472They're neutered. We're in the age of the eunuch.
>>130707107When I watch an interview I want to learn, so it's kinda gay on that level. But a lot of the ones today are even worse than the douche ones because of the forced positivity and acting like friends and shit. That's way gayer.
>>130707104I stopped listening to blur after learning about them bullying Nardwuar
>>130707192it wasn't staged, they ended up apologizing to nardwuar years later
>>130710745The apology was staged
>>130710750Just staged my dick into your mouth
>>130707104you forgot the classic Jesus & Mary Chain interview with Jim Reid slagging off Joy Division after he learned they were the interviewer's favourite bandhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eY4ZXpsoOUg
>>130710334>They're neutered. We're in the age of the eunuch.or, was. 2022 is over now.
because nobody likes assholes anymore
>>130711273Plenty of gays do
>>130710334is more like the 50s when being cute and whimsical was the thing than aggressively macho
>>130707104The reason no one's an asshole in interviews anymore is they're so worried about hurting their marketing opportunities by upsetting the squares so they have to put on a contrived wholesome persona. In other words everyone has become an incredibly lame sellout.It's not just in music but in everything. It's why no one does an interview like this anymore https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X7kuM6NruUE&t=36s
>>130710745Not only Sonic Youth never apologised, they just bullied Nardwuar again
>>130707104Because everyone is fake and boring nowadays
Everything is normie shit now. There used to be an actual counterculture. Independent artists took pride in being confrontational and opposed to the status quo. Since the 2010s everyone is just playing the same social games that Chad and Stacy did in high school.

>>130715262WIGGLE WIGGLE
>>130715217Just wait until how cringe It'll be until they try doing that again. Do you really want it?
>>130707104Interviews not punk
fucking fantano is considered rebellious to zoomers for giving halsey a bad review and liking olivia rodrigo. what a fucking joke
>>130715644What a fucking faggot just play air piano while MGK plays air guitar. goddamn no wonder these chimps can't invent Quantum Computers or ban Islam.Not like you didn't insult him first with the "do whatever it is you do"People from the UK don't realize some Americans cannot understand the accents. My mom and dad are so dumb with those. They couldn't even watch this movie about D Day weathermen called Pressure because everyone had a British accent.
>>130718507>Ban IslamNeither can America lol, the fuck you talking about?
>>130718507Can't ban a religion little faggot
>>130718468Yup. Dave Grohl (ironic since he's the ultimate example of the fake wholesome persona) having an affair is considered scandalous stuff in 2026. Everyone is such a square these days it's beyond belief.>>130717927Yes, since it just means being honest instead of trying to be Ned Flanders. At this point being a grouch in an interview is 'railing against the status quo'.
>>130707104Antisocial? Introverted you mean?
boomers and Gen X were the most violent and degenerate generations of all time
>>130707104Kanye west dressed up in a kkk outfit last year during an interview
The media used to bully celebrities hard. Guys like Bill O'Reilly made their name off shock journalism like "Digging through Pamela Anderson's garbage--What will we find in there?"
>>130720807based
>>130707104There are people working within major agencies whose entire job is coaching public figures on how to handle press interactions. If you tried sending a person like that Lou Reed's way they'd get laughed in their face and told to go back.And when it comes to more independent artists, they feel like they have to be a bit more obsequious to interviewers because they can't take promotion for granted anymore.Say what you want about Death Grips, one thing they absolutely got right was just not doing interviews any beyond a few limited exceptions. The press for the arts has become such a circus that it almost seems humiliating.
>>130707154grow the fuck up
>>130712993That was the only truly cool thing they ever did. I enjoy Narduar, but I enjoy watching him sweat even more. The Kurt Cobain interview was the best, you could tell he wanted to hate Narduar, but by the end of the interview he couldn’t help but be a little bit charmed by the abrasive little dork.
>>130707104never 5get Bono bullying Ian Curtis into suicide
Responding to advertising with hostility is a form of advertising and a kind of self defeating and very cringe rebellion that only creates more of a sales package for the artist. The relationship between the two has been transparently deconstructed and rendered meaningless. I remember Chris Ott said if you don't want to turn people on don't make pop music. It's a wanker act.
>>130715644he is such a fucking dork lmao
>>130707104i feel like young people today are a lot more agreeable and value conformity more, they also are generally more conservative in terms of risk taking behavior so they dont want to walk on eggshells and offend people, plus social media immortalizing your fuckups
>someone is interested in interviewing me?>I'm gonna act like an edgy idiot and make sure the interviewer and viewers lose interest in me because my IQ is 60
>>130723360that actually worked for a time. whats interesting is analyzing why thats changed
>>130723264>plus social media immortalizing your fuckups>>130707291>>130707291>>130707291
