"Top-Forty artists aren’t cultural movements; they’re ultra-homogenized and uber-marketed holographic projections, aspects of culture that get blown up to Jumbotron size and burrow a pic line to the id. Mass culture always contains cleaned-up, camera-ready variations on the underground, incorporating just enough of what’s “edgy” to maintain its own relevance. Sometimes — if we’re lucky —these transformations result in mass culture that’s more interesting than usual, that entertains in a way that feels surprising, and that perhaps even spreads progressive values. But if a political idea is showing up in mass culture, that’s because it’s happening somewhere else in a more concentrated, grassroots way."
