What does BBC Switch Live Signify?
- The NME have less power than they think.
- 14 year olds don’t care what The Wire thinks (thankfully).
- The only people who think that ‘pop music is dead’ are those who refuse to notice the teenagers at the back of the bus playing Ne-yo on their phones.
- It is more fun to listen to things without having to worry about being post-modern or ironic. I don’t think the children there understood why people would need to be ironic in their music taste. ‘This harks back to a simpler time’ etc etc.
- Fallout Boy are now quite bad.
- The BBC positively reeked of capitalism. And Rupert Murdoch’s clammy, bulging wallet.
- This is a bad thing.
- Cameramen in the BBC do covert crotch shots of underage singers ‘for lolz’ or something. It is Highly Suspect.
- This underlying sense of ‘an event run by cynical thirtysomethings that want to both satisfy and mock children’ was Not Anticipated but Rampant.
- The level of idolatry poured upon George Sampson is both frightening and hilarious.
- (DIM SCOOP: ‘George Sampson will never make things work with Miley Cyrus because of ‘the Atlantic ocean’ that separates them’. Shame.)
- Sometimes people underestimate 14 year olds and the music could have been more ‘challenging’ to like, ‘challenge’ them; but if they like Miley Cyrus IS THAT SUCH A BAD THING? Maybe it is. Maybe we could play them some baile funk. Or maybe we can just let them get on with it and stop being so pointlessly elitist.
Natalie Fraser: ‘Mcfly know how to rock’.
4 real.
