Dancepunk Is Neither: An Experiment In Stating the Obvious
Personal to Pitchfork: The reason "dancepunk" is "dead," according to those picky arbiters of indie taste (which means you, actually... I'm not really sure how you missed that memo), is that it's a poor simulacrum of actual dance music. Which is to say that this specific song, which you love so much, is, in fact, a funk-less whiteboy imitation of an '80s Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis groove. As the old SAT analogies might have put it:
This kind of shit : real dance music :: Blueshammer : Muddy Waters |
