I've grown sick of revivalism. I've been doing a review of the decade's best and worst music on YouTube and I decided to revisit Fischerspooner. There was once a time when I thought those guys were pretty cool, but I gave the video for "Emerge" a spin the other day and I felt it was total crap. The music sounded completely soulless (I know that's the idea, but I prefer vocals that sound human) and they looked absolutely ridiculous. I can't help but wonder what all those magazines were thinking back in 2002 when they were being hailed as refreshing and innovative.
I'm sick of the electro revival, the shred revival, the post-punk revival, the old school rock revival, etc. It's not 1969, 1973, or 1982; it's 2009. Time moves on.
I know it might be asking a lot, but I want the next decade to be dominated by artists who want to truly express themselves and break new ground, not try to recreate some bygone era.
Killthosecops, if you like Ladytron, enjoy them. But I'd rather listen to someone who's not acting like the past 20 years of popular music never happened.
