Somewhere in the depths of the internetz I was reading a discussion about some shit band with shit hair who- by some mind-bending glitch in the matrix/clever marketing- are achieving an unfathomable amount of success at the moment.
A very clever person dismissed the band and their vicious army of female followers at once with a most thought provoking sentiment. They said, “Teenage girls have always been a barometer for bad taste and irrelevance. Nothing has changed”. Immediately, I knew I agreed.
I’m pretty sure teenage girls have always thoughtlessly consumed anything that is fed to them and have thus propelled a lot of undeserving bands into the charts. Not to say young men aren’t as equally persuaded into engaging in popular culture with the flick of a sticky Zoo Magazine page, but they tend to be a bit more discerning in their fandom, no?
Just as I started to question my betrayal of my own gender, someone pointed me in the direction of a young female trio called Millionaires who are currently touring the US on Warped. Look up their video ‘Alcohol’ on YouTube. Do it. You risk cancer of the ears, but I need you to see this. How hideously sad that just as I was gagging for greater female contribution in the world of rock, people start to embrace these rabid Maltese terriers on crack. I hate you Universe.

Can anybody tell me why God won't speak to me? Why Jesus never called on me to part the fucking seas?

- Disclaimer: This is mostly neurotic self-involved drivel about my experiences with music of the "punk rock" persuasion. These musings can also be found in Melbourne's BEAT magazine each week. Please note, I am not an authority on this music, or any other aspect of this apparent 'scene', but I get bored, I like to write AND I get paid to do this so as Wilhelm Scream so aptly put it, 'the kids can eat a big bag of dicks'.
