Please Stop Believing
By Ned | June 16, 2007
Amanda Marcotte takes a break from discussing feminism, marriage equality and choice to address another grave problem we face today.
An on-going dispute at the Punkass Mousepad is whether or not Journey is next in line for some sort of hipster revival. Marc says aye, and I say if it happens, it shows that the practice of hipster revivalism has hit something of a wall.
This isn’t just something that’s bound to happen. It’s already happening. People I know who otherwise have a perfectly respectable taste in music have begun arguing vehemently that Journey is a good band. They really appreciate the music.
And let’s be clear: I’m not talking about ironic appreciation here. I’m not talking about appreciation of Journey the way one might appreciate a Dragonforce song. I’m talking about being completely unironically moved by songs like “Any Way You Want It.”
This monster must be stopped.
