seems zak thinks so, because they went to a school to learn to play like this

They are rich and privileged. Which means we should eat them.

the good thing about eating the rich and privileged is that they are likely to have had a rich diet, making their nutritional content perhaps worth it

floyd wanted to make a whole album out of household objects that's real art. absolute disgrace, thank goodness andy warhol isn't around to see the sham we're in today

This ‘school’ is funded by the suits in order to commodify.

The place is testament to everything rotten about how what was real, pure, authentic and genuine has been stamped on, dressed up, packaged, augmented and sold back to us for our ‘benefit’

Fuck it, fuck them, fuck the gormless brats lining up to walk through the doors and fuck anyone for buying into it.

"floyd wanted to make a whole album out of household objects"



I'm still pissed the whole recordings of that haven't been released. Would have been much better than The Endless River. Probably Dark Side of the Moon too.

Okay, but surely anyone with whatever you view as genuine artistic talent would withstand commodification and only benefit from further education?

You don’t teach authenticity

Album Rating: 3.0

But 'authenticity' exists primarily as vision or principle that underpins songwriting and musicianship, both of which are crafts that can be taught and refined in qualifiable terms

Album Rating: 3.0

So if you hate the school for churning out what you view as manufactured shit, that's obviously fair and understandable, but surely that has more to do with the people signing up to study there in the first place rather than its programme?

Why can't these folks be a shining example of a group that withstood the machine that is Brit School?

because punk is dead and school is the new cool :'[

original punk was a reaction to Thatcherism. this can only be Mayism. some conservative lady making people rowdy, excpet today they're also educated

Album Rating: 3.0

Mayism is less a political strand and more a government/party desperately trying to keep itself afloat though. Got way more shit for its incompetence than its actual ideology (which, put like that, seems like a suitable target for Tertiary Education 21st Century Punk)

Trumpism certainly brought up a new resurgence of protest songs unseen since whoever the previous republican president was and the one before and the one before. So yeah, seems like an appropriate enough mess to make a reaction of.

im pretty sure Greep grew up in Walthamstow, where my mum grew up; its the opposite of a rich area

Its not a poverty issue it’s more about integrity of the soul.
