Was thinking earlier about how, before becoming prominent crypto-Zionists, Radiohead were singing about the numbing effect of working in a cubicle job as a tiny cog in the machine of a monolithic consumerist society, but then thought - didn’t this band form at public school, paid for by their parents, and might they possibly never have worked a 9-to-5 in their life? And could they be cashing in on the aesthetic of pre-millennial salaryman angst as seen in many movies of the time such as Office Space, Fight Club, The Matrix, American Beauty, etc etc?
I don’t know. I’m usually not the type of person to hold an entire band’s worth of people I know nothing at all about- to a standard I can’t know whether or not they live up to.
I’d imagine I’d probably want to research each of them individually to determine whether or not they respectively deserve the aspersions being cast in their direction.
But that just me.
