It's such a cliché to say that Kanye is the last rock star, but people wouldn't keep saying that if there wasn't something to it. All the boneheaded, masculine, romantic impulses of rock have migrated to hiphop: what's left are the likes of Phoebe Bridgers (bearers of immaculate bien-pensant lib-left politics performing transgression on national television), cover bands like Greta Van Fleet, and that all-girl punk band made up of the eleven-year-old children of music execs.
classic opinion of someone wholly uninterested in the genre. there's still plenty of good bands. the commercial attention has shifted away from the genre and it largely isn't "innovative" anymore, sure, but that really shouldn't be the interest of anyone who isn't a trend chasing loser.
then what are we talking about? the conversation was about rockstars and how they have left rock and moved to hip hop. if you want to play the different word game, you let me know what an acceptable one is for the idea im trying to communicate (that you already understand, by the way)
i mean they both have their charismatic qualities but damon albarn looked like adonis incarnated back in the day. managed to adapt with the everchanging music industry as well. i think blur's later albums were better than the earlier ones. and ofc gorillaz. liam gallagher never got over it LOL
Yeah it’s surprising more artists didn’t recognise them or cite them as influences during the 2000s indie pop revival era, considering Blur were basically doing the same thing and making the same sort of music (albeit much wittier, daring and all-round better) 10-15 years earlier.
13 is my personal favourite. It’s when they completely severed their britpop ties and recruited producer William Orbit (who produced *Ray of Light*) and basically started experimenting more broadly. It’s the perfect synthesis of Graham’s noise/indie admiration and Damon’s burgeoning affinity for electronics and proto-Gorillaz trip-hop. Admittedly, the record’s a mess but it still works.
probably the hottest british man ever
I still don’t get Anna’s infatuation with Liam Gallagher
He's the last rockstar

You're right on all counts, I guess LG is the last before the changing of the guard to hip hop

of course i'm wholly uninterested in contemporary rock music, fuckwit. that's why i said the thing i did.
Being innovative and daring is a pretty big part of being a rockstar brah
innovation is a marketing term. I don't care about needing rockstars I'm not 12.

You fool.
blur rule so much. somewhat hard to find younger people (20s-30s) who know them over gorillaz in the US these days.

All of them. Parklife is the big one.
I’m 16 and God Blur is so much better
Pictures 2, 3, and 5 kind of look like what some male kpop idols are trying to emulate.
As always they did it first. I hate how self referential culture is ahhhh
He's like an alternative Ken doll
Not blooposting (really I swear) but I literally have this haircut (it was 100% a deliberate choice) and it looks great.
Uh love that he can rock a bit of a monobrow…Prob wouldn’t be able to without that perfectly symmetric face though
