Oasis is coming back, Neil Young’s “Archive” is available as a deluxe box set and Motörhead lyrics are now image: Don’t have a generous voice about pop that you have no desire to be sustainable and fall into the hands of boring people to fall. for a wise man? What just happened?

Everything used to be better. It is also clear to everyone what pop is: a great movement that is not here to stay. But to give a helping hand to what you have taken (schools, politicians, boredom, work), or at least to let it slow down for a few minutes. Pop-up is fun, but as it ends it makes you feel that everything can be completely different and fun.

And now? There are now editors in “Spiegel” explaining to readers why pop culture is important. And from which, above all, he brought something with him that he already suspected: the pop has disappeared since it fell into the hands of those who need to be different with saying everything they want to be fashionable – something that goes with social compatibility. and all the other stuff that pops up once wants to blow away.

Oasis is coming back. “Stop Making Sense” is in cinemas for only the second time in 40 years, lovingly restored. People who once liked the line “It’s better to burn out than fade” can now buy the third installment of Neil Young’s carefully edited “Archive,” also available as a 17-CD deluxe box set, 198 songs, 15 songs of previously unreleased, 121 unreleased versions and a 160 page book.

And the business includes all the music libraries, in which its volumes have shown the greats like Thomas Melle and Charly Hübner explain why the Beastie Boys and Motörhead belong to the canon – as if Marcel Reich-Ranicki is still with us .

Nostalgic change

Of course it can’t be any other way. Older boomers (like me) who grew up with guitar solos are so attached to the illusions of their once wild and dangerous lives that they want to praise their past with nostalgia. The best way to do this is to allow them (besides, no one talks of Elton John and Paul McCartney without calling them “sir” anymore). And to ignore it as it is a mockery of the military and boldly despises the system that believes in institutions like honor.

Is it not generous of pop that it has no desire to be sustainable, to mean something, to fall into the hands of the bowlers who see in it an opportunity for wisdom? Of course there are many arguments for all this. There have always been thought albums, classic rock, sit-down concerts, learn allusions and depth in songs that show erudition, but even then it’s embarrassing – because pop culture is rather pop, because you want to impress teachers and administrators instead. of making people headbang and take dance.

In the end, the gentrifiers always win. As they walk around the cities, they clean everything, they carefully repair what they see, they repair the jewelry they see, and they are proud. After all, they have saved the culture. Maybe it couldn’t be different. But you may also find it silly.
