Is the Australian music industry – ‘alternative’ or not – racist at its heart

I was tipped off to this delight by gentleman Ben Ayres (Cornershop) a few months back. It was, he felt, something that I might well enjoy.

I got the impression the AMP was supposed to cover ALL forms of music, not just indie. Isn’t Australia known for its hip-hop? Its hardcore?

This is AKB48, the band with 48 members (many of them DEFINITELY NOT 18), and this song was all I heard all fucking summer. Shit is POPULAR, y’all. 18 million YouTube views & primetime TV popular. And it’s still probably not safe for work.

Imagine if The Lovely Eggs were U2 or the Pope. Wouldn’t the world be surreal and wonderful and full of delicious turmoil and laughter?

I’m sceptical of the patronising and reductive idea that men and women appreciate music in intrinsically different ways
