Rules Of The Game #31: Rockism And Antirockism Rise From The Dead

[koganbot]

Here's my latest, in which I reveal myself to be a rockist, unless that's not what I'm revealing. I also don't come to a conclusion about what rockism is. Stay tuned for the exciting sequel.

The Rules Of The Game #31: Rockism And Antirockism Rise From The Dead

EDIT: Here are links to all but three of my other Rules Of The Game columns (LVW's search results for "Rules of the Game"). Links for the other three (which for some reason didn't get "Rules Of The Game" in their titles), are here: #4, #5, and #8.

UPDATE: I've got all the links here now:

Re: But what about what *I* wrote

I mean, rockists are just making value judgments: this music is valuable because it is "authentic," and that music is not. This music matters to me, and that music doesn't.

Trade "authentic" for "well-written" or "aggressive" or "fvcking mental" and it's just another day at poptimists.
