This entire 'electroclash' revival seems like an older person's version of being a raver. Though the electroclash style doesn't require the baggy pants and glowsticks, the electro version does require a wardrobe, haircut and certain attitude. It doesn't surprise me that this is booming in NYC. A city that is a revolving door for fads,fashions and anything seeming European.
I'll never find the 'look' or the superficial things that go with this music sexy. Sue me for not liking mohawks or a good line o coke. I guess my discussion is, why does an entire 'look' have to be tied in with this music? In most of the press coverage I've seen of this music, the clothes and seemingly snotty social circles ala Less Than Zero etc., are covered right along with it. Underneath, is the music that boring that it needs a pretty wrapper or is it just finally a music style combining the art/fashion world that has run parellel with music for so long? I always liked Adult. but IMHO many of the other acts at the Electroclash party stunk. I much prefer the 'electro' of Clear than women who need show me their boobs and be in mini-skirts while they sing a cover of 80's ballads (yes, W.I.T.). They're like an electronic Brittany Spears trio. If Adult. and such were the bricklayers of this movement (which shouldn't even be put near the world 'electro' IMHO) it seems like many others are going in a completely different direction talent wise (like W.I.T.-who also completely demise what women have gone through to get respect in the music industry btw). Or perhaps I'm just taking it all too seriously. /rant ended. diana __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Yahoo!
