Random thought: Some bands create far better graphic design/style/photos than they do music. And vice versa, other bands make superb sounds, but have such terrible overall aesthetic. Is it rhetorical to ask which is worse?
But…
Fashion music (visual aesthetics over sound) made today can be crap next week, but mind-altering to the kid who rediscovers it 10 years later. Case in point: discovering Spandau Ballet’s ‘Gold’ at 15 in 1993 while stuck in one of the fashion musics of that time, ‘grunge’.
To ask this question is to ask what makes pop music Pop, and is it less authentic because of the image surrounding it? Or rather, is authenticity something to be valued in the first place?
