Well, rappers with chains were already well established in the '90s, it’s just that aside from a few people of color, hip hop culture here was practically still niche, at least in terms of fashion. You remember them as a phenomenon of the '00s simply because everything arrives late here, including the useless poses (to us) of gangsta rap. Can someone explain to me what the hell tough guys have to do living on the outskirts of Milan? At least the NWA had reasons to urge the murder of cops! Don’t get me wrong, they’re definitely critiquable, but the tensions of an American metropolis don't seem to match the worries of some spoiled Italian kid. To me, they will be remembered for skinny jeans, the '80s revival, polo collars turned up (God, I wish I could kick anyone who wears them), fake rockers, etc.

Are you so sure, nofake, that it's not really like that? I mean, are the memories of the '80s really what people remember? Just like the '90s are associated with flannel shirts and later dreadlocks, skate pants, and Airwalk shoes? Of course, in both cases, we're only scratching the surface, but the images that stick are the superficial ones. If the '70s were about Hard Rock Progressive and then punk, and the '60s about hippies and LSD, the '80s are U2, Wham, Spandau Ballet, and so on. And I say this not to denigrate them (they do that themselves), but to point out that it's obvious commercial phenomena stick in people's minds more than the underground. It's nobody's fault that the commercial icons of the '60s/'70s (punk included) generally had a higher artistic depth. The important thing is to admit that the music business changed significantly in the '80s and gave birth to some ugly monsters in the '90s (if Wham had at least some dignity, Take That and similar groups are a direct and worse offspring). There are exceptions (like the early U2, Cure, etc.), but the masses remember the perms and the keyboards; there's little to be done about it.

Guys, but is it an illness that is spreading only on Deb? The H Christ!! Up here with the big moustaches, then the new review of Alessio Iride, and finally the mythological comment "l'HO vidi" on Britti's review... I'm starting to get worried.

It’s a matter of temperament; I found it arrogant and irritating, full of clichés. Maybe it’s just me, but the issue of cultural stereotypes always gets me riled up, especially when it concerns a place I’ve lived in and studied. It’s not paradise, but it’s not the pathetic scene of a whore either. Perhaps I was disappointed because I was looking for something modern about today’s Japan, something that was "aggiornato" or, as los ameriocanos say, "up to date," while in the end the poor thing (I had the displeasure of seeing how she looked in Tokyo during the film presentation and no other adjective comes to mind) might just have wanted to express the relational void of those who travel for work and live in sterile hotels. However, in my opinion, the film is still rather pointless. I found The Virgin Suicides a bit more captivating; Lost is a manipulative film that plays on the allure of superficial Tokyo as seen by Westerners.

Indeed, I’ve heard it a couple of times in my office without windows, and the desire has been the same.

I finally downloaded it, but so far it hasn’t excited me as much as the comments I’ve read elsewhere. Nice review, even though it didn’t evoke all those emotions for me.

I should preface by saying that I HATE Murray, and Lost In Translation is one of the worst films of the last few years, perhaps only second to Kingdom of Heaven and Gibson's Eucalyptus. In fact, it might even be worse because it pretends to offer a new perspective on Japan (go screw yourself Sofia, you produce better things). Instead, I found Broken Flowers completely uninspiring, though at times it pleasantly surprised me. It definitely has its huge flaws, but it introduced me to the great Mulatu Astatke! And then there are the Brian Jonestown Massacre (Jarmusch appears on one of their album covers) and Sleep with Jerusalem!

I would hope that visual kei was dead. It feels strange to see visual kei groups in the spotlight in the West, a trend that in Japan is barely acknowledged by anyone other than those who were young between the late '80s and '90s.

I think you didn't get my comment; with that "avessi," I was referring to you, not to me. And instead, I didn't understand the meaning of your irritated and sarcastic comment (I don't know how, because I didn't grasp the connection with the myth/history relationship, oh well?). You didn't invite me to talk about potatoes or onions; you spoke about both topics (Vikings and Viking Metal), and I chose to comment on the first topic. It seems to me that I didn't start talking about degenerative diseases of the nervous system. I developed and commented on themes that you had already introduced. Understand?

After 3 months, I haven't managed to enjoy them, just like Animal Collective. I prefer this solo artist to the collective, which often annoys me (just look at the brilliant ideas wasted on the latest Feels). Many people like them, but apart from a few snippets of genius songs, something makes them a bit unpleasant and pretentious to me. I know it might be a flaw, but I've heard almost everything they've done, and the impression remains.
