k-punk: Avant-conservatism
But the point is that no-one, even their own supporters, really expects S(onic) Y(outh) to provoke any sort of strong affect at all, just elicit a bland admiration.They’re on our side, they’re good sorts. And the fact is, it is indeed difficult to summon up any affect for them. The emnity is a second-order response to my first order action, which is one of boredom. (A boredom that I strongly suspect is shared by even their most ardent fan - could such a fan sincerely claim that the thought do we really need another Sonic Youth record? has never come to mind?).
