Simon Reynolds

Simon Reynolds is one of the most respected music journalists working today, and his writing is both influential and polarizing. He draws on an impressive range of knowledge, and writes with a fluid, engaging style. His books Rip it Up and Start Again and Generation Ecstasy are well-regarded works about their respective genres, and RETROMANIA may be his most broadly appealing book yet. It makes an argument about art, nostalgia, and technology that has implications for all readerswhether diehard music fans or not. Its an important and provocative look at the present and future of culture and innovation."

‘Serious rock’ has never been so white, mainstream pop so black, so exclusively based in R&B, soul and disco.

Green once described the music of indie groups like The Smiths as ‘racist’, and, in a sense, he’s right – there’s a hopeless lack of exchange or communication between hip white rock and black pop.
Nickolay Ovchinnikovhas quoted7 months ago
The irony is that these indie hipsters tend to be more politically aware than most, more keen to align themselves with anti-racism, yet are totally estranged from black culture.
