I don't really know what I think about this. I mean, it's funny seeing self-serious wankers getting dragged, and the idea that rock is some inherently superior "real music" is self-evidently silly. The point that rockism doesn't recognise how people nowadays listen to music feels true, but at the same time I'm not sure that's something musicians have any real responsibility to recognise — especially if sounding like The 1975 is the endgame of that process. https://www.theguardian.com/music/2023/may/31/thank-you-royal-blood-for-heralding-the-death-of-real-music
