"headTitle": "KQED Pop | KQED Arts",
"content": "\u003cp>America’s obsession with the British royal family seems to have kicked into overdrive recently, thanks to the combination of two new royal babies (George and Charlotte, offspring of William and Kate) and the 20th Anniversary of Princess Diana’s death. Earlier this month, ABC News presented \u003ca href=\"http://abc.go.com/shows/the-last-100-days-of-diana/episode-guide/season-1/01-the-last-100-days-of-diana\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">\u003cem>The Last 100 Days of Diana\u003c/em>\u003c/a>, and we can expect another documentary about her \u003ca href=\"http://deadline.com/2017/05/hbo-itv-princess-diana-documentary-prince-harry-prince-william-anniversary-tragic-death-princess-of-wales-1202081462/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">on HBO later this year\u003c/a>. Royal fever has also undoubtedly increased thanks to \u003ca href=\"https://www.netflix.com/title/80025678\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">\u003cem>The Crown\u003c/em>\u003c/a> on Netflix, and \u003ca href=\"http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/masterpiece/shows/victoria/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">\u003cem>Victoria\u003c/em>\u003c/a> on PBS.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It's not just television either. Stories about the Windsors grace the covers of American magazines on a regular basis—everything from \u003ca href=\"http://www.intouchweekly.com/posts/prince-harry-meghan-markle-holidays-queen-elizabeth-119955\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">\u003cem>In Touch\u003c/em>\u003c/a> to \u003ca href=\"http://www.vanityfair.com/style/royals\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">\u003cem>Vanity Fair\u003c/em> \u003c/a>(the latter being borderline obsessive about its royalty coverage, even when it comes to bit-players like\u003ca href=\"http://www.vanityfair.com/contributor/pippa-middleton\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"> Pippa Middleton\u003c/a>)—regardless of the fact that the British royal family have little to nothing to do with the United States.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Almost all American coverage of England's monarchy is consistently reverential and keen. Sometimes, it can feel a little bit like everyone is scared to step off that path, lest they be in violation of some obscure royal protocol. Thankfully, John Oliver's \u003cem>Last Week Tonight\u003c/em> has offered a hilarious exception to the rule:\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G2m5_NTq19c\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The key thing to note, in regards to Oliver, is that not only is he one of the only journalists in America offering a critical look at the monarchy, he also happens to be English himself. He is a reflection of the fact that, while America frequently assumes that the UK is packed, coast-to-coast, with people who adore the Queen and her extended family, the truth is a lot more complicated.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside postid='arts_13919284']There are, of course, thousands of traditionalists on the royal family's home soil who are married to the idea that Britain without a monarchy would simply be terribly un-British. And truthfully, polls repeatedly show that a majority of British citizens back hanging onto the monarchy. But it should also be taken into account that the UK is awash with people who despise having a royal family and would jump at the chance to get rid of it—something rarely touched upon in international coverage.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"https://www.republic.org.uk/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Republic.org.uk\u003c/a> is the most organized and vocal wing of the anti-royal movement. Most recently, the organization has begun \u003ca href=\"http://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/british-republican-group-calls-for-referendum-on-monarchy-when-queen-dies-a6993216.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">campaigning for a referendum\u003c/a> to be held on the future of England's monarchy, after Queen Elizabeth II's death. Yes, there is an entire organization in England right now, just waiting for the Queen to die, so they can attempt to get rid of her family in its entirety.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>If you want to get a better sense of how different royal coverage is in the British media versus the American one, a quick Google search turns up a wealth of proof that the family's position at the top of the national hierarchy is up for regular discussion and not exactly a done deal. \"\u003ca href=\"https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2014/jan/29/royals-want-new-boiler-we-pay-for-it\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Why are we subsidizing the royal family at a time of gross inequality?\u003c/a>\" asked \u003cem>The Guardian \u003c/em>in 2014. Earlier this year, \u003cem>Huffington Post UK\u003c/em> published an article titled \"\u003ca href=\"http://www.huffingtonpost.co.uk/john-reynolds/monarchy_b_9086330.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Is it Time to Scrap the Monarchy\u003c/a>?\" Even pro-royal newspapers like \u003ca href=\"http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-3535054/Why-fear-monarchy-die-Queen-controversial-view-royal-historian-eve-Queen-s-90th-birthday.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">\u003cem>The Daily Mail\u003c/em>\u003c/a> seem to think the family's days in power might be drawing to a close.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The truth is, a fair amount of Brits just don't particularly like having to pay for the gilded lifestyles of wealthy overlords. Since 2012, the royal family has been funded by something called \u003ca href=\"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sovereign_Grant_Act_2011\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">The Sovereign Grant\u003c/a>. The system before that was more convoluted, but the principal was the same: it is and always has been British taxpayers that pay for the royal family to go about their business. This year, they are expected to receive £45.6 million simply for being born into the right gene pool.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside postid='arts_13908090']Some outside estimates that make a point of factoring in additional security expenses—incurred by both the Metropolitan Police and local councils—claim that the cost to the UK taxpayer for the royal family annually is actually \u003ca href=\"http://home.bt.com/lifestyle/money/mortgages-bills/how-much-does-the-royal-family-cost-11363982445194\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">closer to £300 million\u003c/a>. Which, for a nation of only 65 million people, can be a bitter pill to swallow—especially in the midst of \u003ca href=\"https://www.wsws.org/en/articles/2017/05/22/tory-m22.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">ever-tightening austerity\u003c/a> measures and a currency currently struggling under the weight of \u003ca href=\"http://www.bbc.com/news/uk-politics-32810887\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Brexit\u003c/a>-related uncertainty.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The main argument around keeping the royal family in place is related to tourism. In 2015, \u003ca href=\"http://brandfinance.com/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Brand Finance\u003c/a> estimated that, even after the family's exorbitant expenses, the British monarchy still brought \u003ca href=\"http://www.businessinsider.com/the-queen-and-the-uk-royal-family-contribution-to-the-uk-economy-2015-9\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">£1.155 billion ($1.8 billion)\u003c/a> into the UK economy. What this doesn't factor in, however, is the fact that tourists don't come to Britain to hang out with the royal family—they come to see the \u003ca href=\"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_British_royal_residences\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">palaces\u003c/a>, \u003ca href=\"http://www.telegraph.co.uk/travel/destinations/europe/united-kingdom/galleries/Britains-best-stately-homes/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">manors\u003c/a> and \u003ca href=\"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_castles_in_Wales\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">castles\u003c/a> dotted around the entirety of the UK, as well as the \u003ca href=\"https://www.thedungeons.com/london/en/?utm_expid=34602403-50.K3zVR3ctQ8aoJCUpT6nHYA.0&utm_referrer=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.google.com%2F\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Dungeons\u003c/a> and \u003ca href=\"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tower_of_London\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Tower of London\u003c/a>, associated with the long history of the nation. Arguably, those would still be attractions, whether or not the royal family still existed. In fact, not having a Queen living in there would probably open the doors of Buckingham Palace to the public to a much greater degree than is \u003ca href=\"https://www.royalcollection.org.uk/visit/the-state-rooms-buckingham-palace/plan-your-visit\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">currently on offer\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In 2014, 69% of people taking part in an \u003ca href=\"https://www.theguardian.com/uk/2012/may/24/queen-diamond-jubilee-record-support\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">ICM poll\u003c/a> said Britain would be worse off without a monarchy. In 2016, according to a poll of 1,000 people, \u003ca href=\"http://metro.co.uk/2016/04/20/this-is-how-many-british-people-want-to-get-rid-of-the-queen-and-have-a-republic-5830076/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">conducted by \u003cem>the Independent\u003c/em>\u003c/a>, that figure had risen—probably buoyed by the Queen's Jubilee and new grandchildren—to 76%. That does, however, still leave nearly a quarter of the country wondering exactly what they're getting out of this.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside postid='arts_13918870']In recent history, public \u003ca href=\"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tXnMET-tDe4\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">anti-royal feeling\u003c/a> in the UK was at its strongest in the immediate aftermath of Princess Diana's death in 1997. The public anger at the time was directed towards what was viewed as an unsympathetic Palace, and prompted a major—and much-needed—shift in how the Windsors conducted themselves. They have since made a distinct effort to \u003ca href=\"http://www.bbc.com/news/uk-15492607\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">embrace modernity\u003c/a> in ways that were not possible, pre-Diana.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the end, it's unlikely that the British monarchy is going anywhere any time soon. The family still has the backing of most of its subjects and has been working its PR machine hard to keep it that way since the post-Diana backlash. But it's important to acknowledge the push back still taking place in the corners of the UK that are frustrated by a social system that can frequently seem antiquated and unfair to many. Given what we in America celebrate every Fourth of July, it's surprising our media doesn't acknowledge those frustrations more often.\u003c/p>\n\n",

Earlier this month, ABC News presented \u003ca href=\"http://abc.go.com/shows/the-last-100-days-of-diana/episode-guide/season-1/01-the-last-100-days-of-diana\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">\u003cem>The Last 100 Days of Diana\u003c/em>\u003c/a>, and we can expect another documentary about her \u003ca href=\"http://deadline.com/2017/05/hbo-itv-princess-diana-documentary-prince-harry-prince-william-anniversary-tragic-death-princess-of-wales-1202081462/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">on HBO later this year\u003c/a>. Royal fever has also undoubtedly increased thanks to \u003ca href=\"https://www.netflix.com/title/80025678\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">\u003cem>The Crown\u003c/em>\u003c/a> on Netflix, and \u003ca href=\"http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/masterpiece/shows/victoria/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">\u003cem>Victoria\u003c/em>\u003c/a> on PBS.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It's not just television either.

Sometimes, it can feel a little bit like everyone is scared to step off that path, lest they be in violation of some obscure royal protocol. Thankfully, John Oliver's \u003cem>Last Week Tonight\u003c/em> has offered a hilarious exception to the rule:\u003c/p>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003cspan class='utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__youtubeShortcode__embedYoutube'>\n \u003cspan class='utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__youtubeShortcode__embedYoutubeInside'>\n \u003ciframe\n loading='lazy'\n class='utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__youtubeShortcode__youtubePlayer'\n type='text/html'\n src='//www.youtube.com/embed/G2m5_NTq19c'\n title='//www.youtube.com/embed/G2m5_NTq19c'\n allowfullscreen='true'\n style='border:0;'>\u003c/iframe>\n \u003c/span>\n \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003cp>The key thing to note, in regards to Oliver, is that not only is he one of the only journalists in America offering a critical look at the monarchy, he also happens to be English himself. He is a reflection of the fact that, while America frequently assumes that the UK is packed, coast-to-coast, with people who adore the Queen and her extended family, the truth is a lot more complicated.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

And truthfully, polls repeatedly show that a majority of British citizens back hanging onto the monarchy. But it should also be taken into account that the UK is awash with people who despise having a royal family and would jump at the chance to get rid of it—something rarely touched upon in international coverage.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"https://www.republic.org.uk/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Republic.org.uk\u003c/a> is the most organized and vocal wing of the anti-royal movement. Most recently, the organization has begun \u003ca href=\"http://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/british-republican-group-calls-for-referendum-on-monarchy-when-queen-dies-a6993216.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">campaigning for a referendum\u003c/a> to be held on the future of England's monarchy, after Queen Elizabeth II's death. Yes, there is an entire organization in England right now, just waiting for the Queen to die, so they can attempt to get rid of her family in its entirety.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>If you want to get a better sense of how different royal coverage is in the British media versus the American one, a quick Google search turns up a wealth of proof that the family's position at the top of the national hierarchy is up for regular discussion and not exactly a done deal. \"\u003ca href=\"https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2014/jan/29/royals-want-new-boiler-we-pay-for-it\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Why are we subsidizing the royal family at a time of gross inequality?\u003c/a>\" asked \u003cem>The Guardian \u003c/em>in 2014. Earlier this year, \u003cem>Huffington Post UK\u003c/em> published an article titled \"\u003ca href=\"http://www.huffingtonpost.co.uk/john-reynolds/monarchy_b_9086330.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Is it Time to Scrap the Monarchy\u003c/a>?\" Even pro-royal newspapers like \u003ca href=\"http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-3535054/Why-fear-monarchy-die-Queen-controversial-view-royal-historian-eve-Queen-s-90th-birthday.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">\u003cem>The Daily Mail\u003c/em>\u003c/a> seem to think the family's days in power might be drawing to a close.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The truth is, a fair amount of Brits just don't particularly like having to pay for the gilded lifestyles of wealthy overlords. Since 2012, the royal family has been funded by something called \u003ca href=\"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sovereign_Grant_Act_2011\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">The Sovereign Grant\u003c/a>. The system before that was more convoluted, but the principal was the same: it is and always has been British taxpayers that pay for the royal family to go about their business. This year, they are expected to receive £45.6 million simply for being born into the right gene pool.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

Which, for a nation of only 65 million people, can be a bitter pill to swallow—especially in the midst of \u003ca href=\"https://www.wsws.org/en/articles/2017/05/22/tory-m22.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">ever-tightening austerity\u003c/a> measures and a currency currently struggling under the weight of \u003ca href=\"http://www.bbc.com/news/uk-politics-32810887\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Brexit\u003c/a>-related uncertainty.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The main argument around keeping the royal family in place is related to tourism. In 2015, \u003ca href=\"http://brandfinance.com/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Brand Finance\u003c/a> estimated that, even after the family's exorbitant expenses, the British monarchy still brought \u003ca href=\"http://www.businessinsider.com/the-queen-and-the-uk-royal-family-contribution-to-the-uk-economy-2015-9\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">£1.155 billion ($1.8 billion)\u003c/a> into the UK economy. What this doesn't factor in, however, is the fact that tourists don't come to Britain to hang out with the royal family—they come to see the \u003ca href=\"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_British_royal_residences\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">palaces\u003c/a>, \u003ca href=\"http://www.telegraph.co.uk/travel/destinations/europe/united-kingdom/galleries/Britains-best-stately-homes/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">manors\u003c/a> and \u003ca href=\"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_castles_in_Wales\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">castles\u003c/a> dotted around the entirety of the UK, as well as the \u003ca href=\"https://www.thedungeons.com/london/en/?utm_expid=34602403-50.K3zVR3ctQ8aoJCUpT6nHYA.0&utm_referrer=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.google.com%2F\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Dungeons\u003c/a> and \u003ca href=\"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tower_of_London\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Tower of London\u003c/a>, associated with the long history of the nation. Arguably, those would still be attractions, whether or not the royal family still existed. In fact, not having a Queen living in there would probably open the doors of Buckingham Palace to the public to a much greater degree than is \u003ca href=\"https://www.royalcollection.org.uk/visit/the-state-rooms-buckingham-palace/plan-your-visit\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">currently on offer\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In 2014, 69% of people taking part in an \u003ca href=\"https://www.theguardian.com/uk/2012/may/24/queen-diamond-jubilee-record-support\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">ICM poll\u003c/a> said Britain would be worse off without a monarchy. In 2016, according to a poll of 1,000 people, \u003ca href=\"http://metro.co.uk/2016/04/20/this-is-how-many-british-people-want-to-get-rid-of-the-queen-and-have-a-republic-5830076/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">conducted by \u003cem>the Independent\u003c/em>\u003c/a>, that figure had risen—probably buoyed by the Queen's Jubilee and new grandchildren—to 76%.

Having watched the first two episodes of the new season, he remains considerably less confused than most viewers. Of the different locations this time around, he says: \"The story is Cooper's return to Twin Peaks, so the new locations were expected.\" He believes that the glass box is \"probably two coordinates where \u003ca href=\"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ley_line\">ley lines\u003c/a> cross, creating a rift between two worlds.\" And of that amazing talking twig, Linss says, \"It is the evolution of The Arm, or in other words, the replacement for the Little Man from Another Place.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Another Twin Peaks Fest regular, writer Lori Savageau, wishes the new season stayed within the confines of the small town, and is having a hard time adjusting to current day \u003cem>Twin Peaks\u003c/em>. \"It jumps around so much and seems to be trying so hard, without establishing that small town feel I so loved in the first one,\" the Grass Valley resident says. \"I feel like such a downer about it because all my friends seem to love it. For me, it feels too much like David Lynch being... modern. I probably need to watch it again.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Savageau's friend and fellow Fest-goer, Mary Hütter, disagrees. \"I don't really know how I feel about the new \u003cem>Twin Peaks\u003c/em> season yet,\" she explains. \"It's beautiful and touching and complicated and hilarious. It's also going to take some digesting. I love it, but it leaves me at a loss for words that make sense.

Regular attendees of the \u003ca href=\"https://www.twinpeaksfest.com/\">Twin Peaks Fest\u003c/a> have turned obsessing over the original show into a bonafide art form, so we tracked some of them down to see what they think of the show's new direction.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Brian Linss is an artist based in Beaverton, Oregon, and has been attending the fest for six years now. Having watched the first two episodes of the new season, he remains considerably less confused than most viewers. Of the different locations this time around, he says: \"The story is Cooper's return to Twin Peaks, so the new locations were expected.\" He believes that the glass box is \"probably two coordinates where \u003ca href=\"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ley_line\">ley lines\u003c/a> cross, creating a rift between two worlds.\" And of that amazing talking twig, Linss says, \"It is the evolution of The Arm, or in other words, the replacement for the Little Man from Another Place.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Another Twin Peaks Fest regular, writer Lori Savageau, wishes the new season stayed within the confines of the small town, and is having a hard time adjusting to current day \u003cem>Twin Peaks\u003c/em>. \"It jumps around so much and seems to be trying so hard, without establishing that small town feel I so loved in the first one,\" the Grass Valley resident says. \"I feel like such a downer about it because all my friends seem to love it. For me, it feels too much like David Lynch being... modern. I probably need to watch it again.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Savageau's friend and fellow Fest-goer, Mary Hütter, disagrees. \"I don't really know how I feel about the new \u003cem>Twin Peaks\u003c/em> season yet,\" she explains. \"It's beautiful and touching and complicated and hilarious. It's also going to take some digesting. I love it, but it leaves me at a loss for words that make sense. As \u003cem>Twin Peaks\u003c/em> has always been, it's more of a feeling.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When asked if he has any series\u003cem>-\u003c/em>related predictions to share, Brian Linss says simply: \"I predict these 18 hours will not be the last we hear of \u003cem>Twin Peaks\u003c/em>.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Even if the show does end after Season 3, we predict the internet will be having fun with all this for a long time to come.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

With that first listen, it all felt rather new, interesting, and exciting to see Harry stretching out on his own.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Less than a week later, Styles released a video for \"Sign of the Times,\" in which he was brooding and windswept and frowning. The song itself feels mined from other British artists, \u003ca href=\"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J8fFVOoqepc\">Pink Floyd\u003c/a>'s \"Comfortably Numb\" combined with distinctly \u003ca href=\"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ni2G1eTB-Bs\">Oasis\u003c/a>-sounding guitar undercurrents.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Fans of classic British pop might also have noticed something else quite glaring: \"Sign of the Times\" seems almost entirely modeled on what \u003ca href=\"https://www.robbiewilliams.com/\">Robbie Williams\u003c/a> did after emerging from his boy band, as a solo artist in 1995. Williams had been in \u003ca href=\"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Take_That\">Take That\u003c/a>, a five-piece who were, in their early-'90s heyday, easily as popular as \u003ca href=\"http://www.onedirectionmusic.com/us/home\">One Direction\u003c/a> (in the UK, at least). Williams quit Take That when they were still at the peak of their success and, desperate to garner some credibility after doing dance routines and singing at screaming fans for six years, released \"Angels,\" which is, to this day in Britain, considered a classic.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Let's compare and contrast Williams shrugging off boy band mania, and Styles doing the same thing two decades later:\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=luwAMFcc2f8\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qN4ooNx77u0\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Those similar somber piano intros; the same sprawling, desolate countryside setting; those very sensible winter coats.

hip-hop/R&B-leaning US music market -- his bid for credibility worked extraordinarily well. Williams ended up with a hugely successful career in Europe that managed to overshadow everything he had done with Take That -- at least until the boy band reformed (to great fanfare) in 2006.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So, it turns out, the new direction of Harry Styles isn't quite as fresh and unique as it may have first appeared. It is an established recipe for success though, and -- let's face it -- pop has always recycled itself.

With that first listen, it all felt rather new, interesting, and exciting to see Harry stretching out on his own.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Less than a week later, Styles released a video for \"Sign of the Times,\" in which he was brooding and windswept and frowning. The song itself feels mined from other British artists, \u003ca href=\"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J8fFVOoqepc\">Pink Floyd\u003c/a>'s \"Comfortably Numb\" combined with distinctly \u003ca href=\"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ni2G1eTB-Bs\">Oasis\u003c/a>-sounding guitar undercurrents.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Fans of classic British pop might also have noticed something else quite glaring: \"Sign of the Times\" seems almost entirely modeled on what \u003ca href=\"https://www.robbiewilliams.com/\">Robbie Williams\u003c/a> did after emerging from his boy band, as a solo artist in 1995. Williams had been in \u003ca href=\"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Take_That\">Take That\u003c/a>, a five-piece who were, in their early-'90s heyday, easily as popular as \u003ca href=\"http://www.onedirectionmusic.com/us/home\">One Direction\u003c/a> (in the UK, at least). Williams quit Take That when they were still at the peak of their success and, desperate to garner some credibility after doing dance routines and singing at screaming fans for six years, released \"Angels,\" which is, to this day in Britain, considered a classic.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Let's compare and contrast Williams shrugging off boy band mania, and Styles doing the same thing two decades later:\u003c/p>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003cspan class='utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__youtubeShortcode__embedYoutube'>\n \u003cspan class='utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__youtubeShortcode__embedYoutubeInside'>\n \u003ciframe\n loading='lazy'\n class='utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__youtubeShortcode__youtubePlayer'\n type='text/html'\n src='//www.youtube.com/embed/luwAMFcc2f8'\n title='//www.youtube.com/embed/luwAMFcc2f8'\n allowfullscreen='true'\n style='border:0;'>\u003c/iframe>\n \u003c/span>\n \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

"content": "\u003cp>For those of you old enough to remember when the internet first became a thing, you might recall that, back in the '90s, websites were boxy and boring, fun stuff like social media and YouTube didn't exist, and the people that mostly put things online were basically thought of as mysterious and hyper-intelligent mole-people.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Twenty years later, everybody and their grandmas are website-building, blog-maintaining, and photo-editing like it's always been second nature. This is largely thanks to the fact that, over the years, the aforementioned coding moles have found ways to shortcut and streamline everything, so us regular folks don't need a computer science degree to be useful and active online. However, of all of the most frequently used websites in America, there is still one that makes life a little harder than it probably ought to be in 2017.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Wikipedia -- the \u003ca href=\"http://www.alexa.com/topsites/countries/US\">sixth most popular\u003c/a> website in America -- can feel purposely set up to make editing difficult. If you think back to the mid-2000s when Wikipedia was frequently mocked for getting facts wrong, it's tempting to wonder if they've kept it hard to edit on purpose -- perhaps fewer people editing means fewer errors? In reality, Wikipedia is simply more complicated to edit than most other websites now, for a variety of old school technical and software reasons (and \u003ca href=\"https://www.quora.com/Why-is-the-Wikipedia-editing-page-so-hard-to-use-and-user-unfriendly\">even those are hard to understand). \u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>One of the main problems Wikipedia's editing interface has (at least partially) caused is a serious gender gap when it comes to the people who create and edit Wikipedia content. This has, in turn, created serious information gaps when it comes to profiling and dedicating pages to prominent women, whether they be female historical figures, artists, or authors.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In 2010, research done by the \u003ca href=\"https://wikimediafoundation.org/wiki/Home\">Wikimedia Foundation\u003c/a> -- the company that runs Wikipedia -- discovered that around 87% of the website's editors identified as men. One of the first people to draw wider attention to that perplexing figure was \u003ca href=\"https://www.nytimes.com/by/noam-cohen\">Noam Cohen\u003c/a>, a journalist for \u003cem>The New York Times \u003c/em>who wrote an article in January 2011 titled \"\u003ca href=\"http://www.nytimes.com/2011/01/31/business/media/31link.html?_r=1&src=busln\">Define Gender Gap? Look Up Wikipedia’s Contributor List.\u003c/a>\" Cohen's article demonstrated how a lack of female editors was affecting Wikipedia's content:\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"...the Wikipedia entry for… \u003ca href=\"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pat_Barker\">Pat Barker\u003c/a>… was a mere three paragraphs,\" Cohen noted. \"Ms. Barker is an acclaimed writer of psychologically nuanced novels, many set during World War I. She is 67 and lives in England. By contrast, \u003ca href=\"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Niko_Bellic\">Niko Bellic\u003c/a> had an article about five times as long as Ms. Barker’s at the time. It’s a question of demographics: Mr. Bellic is a character in the video game \u003ca href=\"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grand_Theft_Auto_IV\">\u003cem>Grand Theft Auto IV\u003c/em>\u003c/a>.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Cohen's article prompted ex-Wikimedia director \u003ca href=\"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sue_Gardner\">Sue Gardner\u003c/a> to go public with her research into why women were so frequently put off by the Wikipedia editing process. Gardner \u003ca href=\"https://suegardner.org/2011/02/19/nine-reasons-why-women-dont-edit-wikipedia-in-their-own-words/\">concluded the reasons\u003c/a> were as follows:\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>1. A lack of user-friendliness in the editing interface\u003cbr>\n2. Not having enough free time\u003cbr>\n3. A lack of self-confidence\u003cbr>\n4. Aversion to conflict and an unwillingness to participate in lengthy edit wars\u003cbr>\n5. Belief that their contributions are too likely to be reverted or deleted\u003cbr>\n6. Some find its overall atmosphere misogynistic\u003cbr>\n7. Wikipedia culture is sexual in ways they find off-putting\u003cbr>\n8. Being addressed as male is off-putting to women whose primary language has grammatical gender\u003cbr>\n9. Fewer opportunities than other sites for social relationships and a welcoming tone\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>From that point on, not only has Wikipedia been surprisingly open about its own shortcomings -- listing them on pages like \u003ca href=\"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Why_Wikipedia_is_not_so_great\">Wikipedia: Why Wikipedia is not so great\u003c/a> and \u003ca href=\"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gender_bias_on_Wikipedia\">Gender Bias on Wikipedia\u003c/a> -- it has actively been providing resources to try and diversify the demographics of its editors. There's the \u003ca href=\"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Teahouse\">Teahouse\u003c/a>, \"a friendly place to learn about editing Wikipedia;\" there's a \u003ca href=\"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Help:Wikipedia:_The_Missing_Manual/Editing,_creating,_and_maintaining_articles/Editing_for_the_first_time\">Help\u003c/a> page offering an extensive online manual about creating and editing pages; and there's a page about Wikipedia's \u003ca href=\"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:VisualEditor\">Visual Editor\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xQ4ba28-oGs\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Even more surprisingly, the Wikimedia Foundation has, since 2011, been willingly assisting \u003ca href=\"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:How_to_run_an_edit-a-thon\">edit-a-thons\u003c/a> that are set up by outside organizations -- such as \u003cem>\u003ca href=\"http://www.artandfeminism.org/\">Art + Feminism\u003c/a>\u003c/em> -- specifically with the goal of fixing Wikipedia's gender bias-related content problems. Put simply, if you and a large enough group of people in your vicinity can't figure out how to contribute to Wikipedia, there is a good chance that Wikimedia will send over an expert volunteer to walk you through it. \u003cem>Art + Feminism\u003c/em> has, in the last three years alone, held \"280+ events across six continents, to create and improve thousands of Wikipedia pages for artists.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So far this year, edit-a-thons have been held by the likes of San Francisco art non-profit \u003ca href=\"http://www.thelab.org/projects/2017/3/12/wikipedia-edit-a-thon\">The Lab\u003c/a> and New York's \u003ca href=\"https://www.eventbrite.com/e/black-power-wikipedia-edit-a-thon-2017-edition-tickets-31367828018#\">Schomburg Center for Research in Black Culture\u003c/a>. The \u003ca href=\"https://localwiki.org/oakland/History_Editathon_1\">Oakland Public Library\u003c/a> started history edit-a-thons in 2013. At the end of last year, the UK's BBC, assisted by volunteers from Wikimedia UK, held 15 \u003ca href=\"http://www.bbc.com/news/technology-38219838\">twelve-hour\u003c/a> in 13 countries \"to grow the number of female editors and to add women who... deserve to be recognized. \"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In addition, in 2010, Wikipedia set up the \u003ca href=\"https://wikiedu.org/\">Wiki Education Foundation\u003c/a>, a San Francisco-based non-profit that was specifically created to teach students how to share information on Wikipedia. The organization's website explains: \"Students research course-related topics that are missing or underrepresented, synthesize the available literature, and use our tools and trainings to add the information to Wikipedia. While contributing cited, well-founded information, they help combat fake news on the internet.

This is largely thanks to the fact that, over the years, the aforementioned coding moles have found ways to shortcut and streamline everything, so us regular folks don't need a computer science degree to be useful and active online. However, of all of the most frequently used websites in America, there is still one that makes life a little harder than it probably ought to be in 2017.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Wikipedia -- the \u003ca href=\"http://www.alexa.com/topsites/countries/US\">sixth most popular\u003c/a> website in America -- can feel purposely set up to make editing difficult. If you think back to the mid-2000s when Wikipedia was frequently mocked for getting facts wrong, it's tempting to wonder if they've kept it hard to edit on purpose -- perhaps fewer people editing means fewer errors? In reality, Wikipedia is simply more complicated to edit than most other websites now, for a variety of old school technical and software reasons (and \u003ca href=\"https://www.quora.com/Why-is-the-Wikipedia-editing-page-so-hard-to-use-and-user-unfriendly\">even those are hard to understand). \u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>One of the main problems Wikipedia's editing interface has (at least partially) caused is a serious gender gap when it comes to the people who create and edit Wikipedia content. This has, in turn, created serious information gaps when it comes to profiling and dedicating pages to prominent women, whether they be female historical figures, artists, or authors.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In 2010, research done by the \u003ca href=\"https://wikimediafoundation.org/wiki/Home\">Wikimedia Foundation\u003c/a> -- the company that runs Wikipedia -- discovered that around 87% of the website's editors identified as men. One of the first people to draw wider attention to that perplexing figure was \u003ca href=\"https://www.nytimes.com/by/noam-cohen\">Noam Cohen\u003c/a>, a journalist for \u003cem>The New York Times \u003c/em>who wrote an article in January 2011 titled \"\u003ca href=\"http://www.nytimes.com/2011/01/31/business/media/31link.html?_r=1&src=busln\">Define Gender Gap? Look Up Wikipedia’s Contributor List.\u003c/a>\" Cohen's article demonstrated how a lack of female editors was affecting Wikipedia's content:\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

She is 67 and lives in England. By contrast, \u003ca href=\"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Niko_Bellic\">Niko Bellic\u003c/a> had an article about five times as long as Ms. Barker’s at the time. It’s a question of demographics: Mr. Bellic is a character in the video game \u003ca href=\"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grand_Theft_Auto_IV\">\u003cem>Grand Theft Auto IV\u003c/em>\u003c/a>.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Cohen's article prompted ex-Wikimedia director \u003ca href=\"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sue_Gardner\">Sue Gardner\u003c/a> to go public with her research into why women were so frequently put off by the Wikipedia editing process. Gardner \u003ca href=\"https://suegardner.org/2011/02/19/nine-reasons-why-women-dont-edit-wikipedia-in-their-own-words/\">concluded the reasons\u003c/a> were as follows:\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>1. A lack of user-friendliness in the editing interface\u003cbr>\n2. Not having enough free time\u003cbr>\n3. A lack of self-confidence\u003cbr>\n4. Aversion to conflict and an unwillingness to participate in lengthy edit wars\u003cbr>\n5. Belief that their contributions are too likely to be reverted or deleted\u003cbr>\n6. Some find its overall atmosphere misogynistic\u003cbr>\n7. Wikipedia culture is sexual in ways they find off-putting\u003cbr>\n8. Being addressed as male is off-putting to women whose primary language has grammatical gender\u003cbr>\n9. Fewer opportunities than other sites for social relationships and a welcoming tone\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>From that point on, not only has Wikipedia been surprisingly open about its own shortcomings -- listing them on pages like \u003ca href=\"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Why_Wikipedia_is_not_so_great\">Wikipedia: Why Wikipedia is not so great\u003c/a> and \u003ca href=\"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gender_bias_on_Wikipedia\">Gender Bias on Wikipedia\u003c/a> -- it has actively been providing resources to try and diversify the demographics of its editors. There's the \u003ca href=\"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Teahouse\">Teahouse\u003c/a>, \"a friendly place to learn about editing Wikipedia;\" there's a \u003ca href=\"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Help:Wikipedia:_The_Missing_Manual/Editing,_creating,_and_maintaining_articles/Editing_for_the_first_time\">Help\u003c/a> page offering an extensive online manual about creating and editing pages; and there's a page about Wikipedia's \u003ca href=\"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:VisualEditor\">Visual Editor\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003cspan class='utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__youtubeShortcode__embedYoutube'>\n \u003cspan class='utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__youtubeShortcode__embedYoutubeInside'>\n \u003ciframe\n loading='lazy'\n class='utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__youtubeShortcode__youtubePlayer'\n type='text/html'\n src='//www.youtube.com/embed/xQ4ba28-oGs'\n title='//www.youtube.com/embed/xQ4ba28-oGs'\n allowfullscreen='true'\n style='border:0;'>\u003c/iframe>\n \u003c/span>\n \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003cp>Even more surprisingly, the Wikimedia Foundation has, since 2011, been willingly assisting \u003ca href=\"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:How_to_run_an_edit-a-thon\">edit-a-thons\u003c/a> that are set up by outside organizations -- such as \u003cem>\u003ca href=\"http://www.artandfeminism.org/\">Art + Feminism\u003c/a>\u003c/em> -- specifically with the goal of fixing Wikipedia's gender bias-related content problems. Put simply, if you and a large enough group of people in your vicinity can't figure out how to contribute to Wikipedia, there is a good chance that Wikimedia will send over an expert volunteer to walk you through it. \u003cem>Art + Feminism\u003c/em> has, in the last three years alone, held \"280+ events across six continents, to create and improve thousands of Wikipedia pages for artists.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So far this year, edit-a-thons have been held by the likes of San Francisco art non-profit \u003ca href=\"http://www.thelab.org/projects/2017/3/12/wikipedia-edit-a-thon\">The Lab\u003c/a> and New York's \u003ca href=\"https://www.eventbrite.com/e/black-power-wikipedia-edit-a-thon-2017-edition-tickets-31367828018#\">Schomburg Center for Research in Black Culture\u003c/a>. The \u003ca href=\"https://localwiki.org/oakland/History_Editathon_1\">Oakland Public Library\u003c/a> started history edit-a-thons in 2013. At the end of last year, the UK's BBC, assisted by volunteers from Wikimedia UK, held 15 \u003ca href=\"http://www.bbc.com/news/technology-38219838\">twelve-hour\u003c/a> in 13 countries \"to grow the number of female editors and to add women who... deserve to be recognized. \"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In addition, in 2010, Wikipedia set up the \u003ca href=\"https://wikiedu.org/\">Wiki Education Foundation\u003c/a>, a San Francisco-based non-profit that was specifically created to teach students how to share information on Wikipedia. The organization's website explains: \"Students research course-related topics that are missing or underrepresented, synthesize the available literature, and use our tools and trainings to add the information to Wikipedia. While contributing cited, well-founded information, they help combat fake news on the internet. After supporting tens of thousands of students, we’ve proven this model brings high-quality academic information to wide audiences.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At this point in history, undoubtedly one of the most valuable resources for feminist groups, and women in general, is the internet.

Still, I'm beginning to have a sneaking suspicion that it's definitely possible to age out of pop culture. And if it is, should we resist or simply depart gracefully?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Society relentlessly reinforces the notion that at a certain age we begin to find pop culture irrelevant (and pop culture feels the same way about us).

Keith Anderson writes in \u003cem>The New York Times\u003c/em>, \"By and large, both entertainment and art appeal to niches, cultural tribes that range in size from tiny to smallish.\" The teenage years and early 20s are spent in actively seeking our niche, using what we're into and what we know in order to create and define a self that is still unformed, confusing and mysterious to us in many ways.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The culture that we love and consume reflects who we are and what we value. We amass a tapestry of interests and preferences in order to understand and explain ourselves. Looking back, though, I also wonder if we cling more tightly to those things when we are younger. Hence, the brilliant fanaticism of teen aesthetics.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Being young is wonderful and fun in countless ways. But it's also difficult and unmooring. I'm convinced that each era of our life holds an inexplicably different sort of texture within the experience. The books, movies, music, art, television, and technology that we're spending time with are an essential part of that texture.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cimg class=\"size-full wp-image-79524 aligncenter\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/pop/wp-content/uploads/sites/12/2017/05/melrose-place.gif\" alt=\"\" width=\"500\" height=\"250\">\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Notions of youth and age, relevance and irrelevance, Generation X and our beloved (and rapidly aging) Millennials have always been about \u003ca href=\"http://www.prosar.com/inbound_marketing_blog/communicating-with-and-marketing-to-millennials-and-gen-z-in-2015\">marketing\u003c/a> anyway. It's important to separate ourselves from that type of cynicism and limitation, to find what we love and relish it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Is the fear of aging actually a fear of losing our connection to the world? Rather than viewing age as something that inevitably renders us uncool, perhaps as we get older we can appreciate that a certain confidence, insight, and open-mindedness sets in, if we let it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/pop/wp-content/uploads/sites/12/2017/05/buscemi-kids.gif\">\u003cimg class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-79539\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/pop/wp-content/uploads/sites/12/2017/05/buscemi-kids.gif\" alt=\"\" width=\"500\" height=\"225\">\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I like things now that I never would've liked in my teens or 20s.

And then I realized, quite recently, that I had crossed some line, unconsciously cloaked in the truth of my chronology. How did we get so damn old? I say to my joints, my iron-colored hair. Now I am older than my love, my departed friends. Perhaps I will live so long that the New York Public Library will be obliged to hand over the walking stick of Virginia Woolf. I would cherish it for her, and the stones in her pocket. But I would also keep on living, refusing to surrender my pen.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I actually started working on the idea for this article two years ago.

We age so slowly that we simply don't notice it's happening most of the time, only stopping to observe that friends, parents, and celebrities are all getting older, and \u003ca href=\"http://www.craveonline.com/mandatory/1246543-__trashed-8#/slide/1\">so perhaps we are as well\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As a teenager, I swore I'd never be \u003ca href=\"http://www.avclub.com/article/why-do-pop-culture-fans-stop-caring-about-new-musi-55805\">one of those terrible adults who believes it's their generation who wrote the best books and played the best music\u003c/a>. How depressing (and boring)! At age 38, I've kept that oath going strong. Contemporary culture is full of awesomeness (\u003ca href=\"https://kellyleeowens.bandcamp.com/\">Kelly Lee Owens\u003c/a>! \u003cem>\u003ca href=\"http://www.wnyc.org/shows/dopequeens\">2 Dope Queens\u003c/a>\u003c/em>! \u003ca href=\"https://www.forbes.com/sites/quora/2017/01/10/why-twitter-is-still-the-best-place-for-breaking-news-despite-its-many-challenges/#16602ec426ab\">Twitter as a breaking news source\u003c/a>! \u003ca href=\"https://www.buzzfeed.com/juliareinstein/black-heart-emoji?utm_term=.gq6Gpa6D8#.djPk6E5Xw\">The black heart emoji\u003c/a>! \u003cem>\u003ca href=\"http://www.newyorker.com/culture/cultural-comment/yes-the-handmaids-tale-is-feminist\">The Handmaid's Tale\u003c/a>\u003c/em>!) Still, I'm beginning to have a sneaking suspicion that it's definitely possible to age out of pop culture. And if it is, should we resist or simply depart gracefully?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Society relentlessly reinforces the notion that at a certain age we begin to find pop culture irrelevant (and pop culture feels the same way about us). So, when I must google \"what does smh stand for?\" or my 30-year-old friends can \u003ca href=\"http://www.mtv.com/news/2060441/abbi-broad-city-best-gifs/\">find gifs faster \u003c/a>than me, or I still don't like \u003ca href=\"https://www.snapchat.com/\">Snapchat\u003c/a>, I've taken to exclaiming, \"I'm getting old!\" And of course I am.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cimg class=\"size-full wp-image-79529 aligncenter\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/pop/wp-content/uploads/sites/12/2017/05/awesome.gif\" alt=\"\" width=\"500\" height=\"279\">\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I'm definitely comforted by the fact that the very idea of pop culture has been a little hazy and fickle from the get-go. Keith Anderson writes in \u003cem>The New York Times\u003c/em>, \"By and large, both entertainment and art appeal to niches, cultural tribes that range in size from tiny to smallish.\" The teenage years and early 20s are spent in actively seeking our niche, using what we're into and what we know in order to create and define a self that is still unformed, confusing and mysterious to us in many ways.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

We amass a tapestry of interests and preferences in order to understand and explain ourselves. Looking back, though, I also wonder if we cling more tightly to those things when we are younger. Hence, the brilliant fanaticism of teen aesthetics.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Being young is wonderful and fun in countless ways. But it's also difficult and unmooring. I'm convinced that each era of our life holds an inexplicably different sort of texture within the experience. The books, movies, music, art, television, and technology that we're spending time with are an essential part of that texture.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cimg class=\"size-full wp-image-79524 aligncenter\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/pop/wp-content/uploads/sites/12/2017/05/melrose-place.gif\" alt=\"\" width=\"500\" height=\"250\">\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Notions of youth and age, relevance and irrelevance, Generation X and our beloved (and rapidly aging) Millennials have always been about \u003ca href=\"http://www.prosar.com/inbound_marketing_blog/communicating-with-and-marketing-to-millennials-and-gen-z-in-2015\">marketing\u003c/a> anyway. It's important to separate ourselves from that type of cynicism and limitation, to find what we love and relish it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Is the fear of aging actually a fear of losing our connection to the world? Rather than viewing age as something that inevitably renders us uncool, perhaps as we get older we can appreciate that a certain confidence, insight, and open-mindedness sets in, if we let it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/pop/wp-content/uploads/sites/12/2017/05/buscemi-kids.gif\">\u003cimg class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-79539\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/pop/wp-content/uploads/sites/12/2017/05/buscemi-kids.gif\" alt=\"\" width=\"500\" height=\"225\">\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I like things now that I never would've liked in my teens or 20s. My tastes have softened, diversified, and deepened tremendously. My patience is infinitely more practiced. My critical thinking is definitely a tad sharper. I have a desire to understand context, challenge myself, and be eclectic. My curiosity is more informed, but no less present. I still want to hear the newest bands and cultivate my latest \u003ca href=\"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qN4ooNx77u0\">guilty pleasures\u003c/a>. On top of all that, I have 38 years of looking, listening, and thinking that enriches my experience of it all.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Back in 2015, \u003ca href=\"http://www.theatlantic.com/entertainment/archive/2015/09/ryan-adams-taylor-swift-1989/406744/\">Ryan Adams covered Taylor Swift's album, \u003cem>1989\u003c/em>\u003c/a>.

I'm fascinated by how different the exact same words can be when sung from a different vantage point in life.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In \u003cem>M Train\u003c/em>, \u003ca href=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/pop/wp-admin/post.php?post=18157&action=edit\">Patti Smith\u003c/a>, who writes gorgeously of how time passes and how we age, tells us:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: center\">\"I believe I am still the same person; no amount of change in the world can change that...I believe in life, which one day each of us shall lose. When we are young we think we won’t, that we are different. As a child I thought I would never grow up, that I could will it so. And then I realized, quite recently, that I had crossed some line, unconsciously cloaked in the truth of my chronology. How did we get so damn old? I say to my joints, my iron-colored hair. Now I am older than my love, my departed friends. Perhaps I will live so long that the New York Public Library will be obliged to hand over the walking stick of Virginia Woolf. I would cherish it for her, and the stones in her pocket. But I would also keep on living, refusing to surrender my pen.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I actually started working on the idea for this article two years ago. When I recently came back to my draft, I was an entirely different person. The entire article changed. I had two years worth of different things to say. The real beauty of a deep and lasting engagement with our culture and with ourselves is the evolution of all involved.\u003c/p>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",

"title": "Why Does Katy Perry Find Interviews So Very, Very Difficult?",
"headTitle": "KQED Pop | KQED Arts",
"content": "\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://www.katyperry.com/\">Katy Perry\u003c/a> may sound meaningful as hell when she's telling the downtrodden they are \u003ca href=\"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QGJuMBdaqIw\">metaphorical fireworks\u003c/a>, but over the years, the pop star has repeatedly struggled during interviews with both articulating, and not contradicting, herself. Sometimes, it seems like Perry's mouth starts moving before she's figured out what point she's trying to make, and the results are baffling on fairly regular occasions.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The most recent example emerged this week in an interview with \u003cem>\u003ca href=\"http://ew.com/music/2017/05/08/katy-perry-new-album/?xid=entertainment-weekly_socialflow_twitter\">Entertainment Weekly\u003c/a>, \u003c/em>in which Perry was asked whether or not her new album would include a \"reaction\" to Taylor Swift's \"\u003ca href=\"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QcIy9NiNbmo\">Bad Blood\u003c/a>\" (a song widely purported to be about Perry attempting to wreck a T. Swift tour via the medium of dancer theft). Perry's response to this relatively straightforward question was quite literally amazing. She tried to answer the question, while not answering it, while also attempting to deflect, while also God Bless and also nuh-uh, honey! This thing needs to be read to be believed:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>\"Well that’s not my question to answer — if it’s about me. I think [my new album is] a very empowered record. There is no one thing that’s calling out any one person. One thing to note is: You can’t mistake kindness for weakness and don’t come for me. Anyone. Anyone. Anyone. Anyone. And that’s not to any one person and don’t quote me that it is, because it’s not. It’s not about that. Honestly, when women come together and they decide to unite, this world is going to be a better place. Period end of story. But, let me say this: Everything has a reaction or a consequence so don’t forget about that, okay, honey. [Laughs] We got to keep it real, honey. This record is not about anyone else! This record is about me being seen and heard so that I can see and hear everyone else! It’s not even about me! It’s about everything that I see out there that I digest. I think there’s a healing in it for me and vulnerability. If people want to connect and be healed and feel vulnerable and feel empowered and strong, God bless and here it is.\"\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>This isn't the first time Katy Perry has answered a question in a manner that made little to no sense. Back in 2013, in an \u003ca href=\"http://www.npr.org/templates/transcript/transcript.php?storyId=240760441\">interview with NPR\u003c/a>, Perry criticized other pop stars for getting naked, while also recalling that she too gets naked sometimes, but not really, and she will take her clothes off one day, but only when she's desperate and old, but the reason she can't right now is because she doesn't have the body for it and... What the hell was she trying to say here again?\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>\"Like females in pop -- everybody's getting naked. I mean, I've been naked before but I don't feel like I have to always get naked to be noticed. But it's interesting to see... I'm not talking about anyone in particular. I'm talking about all of them. I mean, it's like everybody's so naked. It's like put it away. We know you've got it. I got it too. I've taken it off for -- I've taken it out here and there. And I'm not necessarily judging. I'm just saying sometimes it's nice to play that card but also it's nice to play other cards. And I know I have that sexy card in my deck but I don't always have to use that card. Maybe when I’m 35 I will. I don’t need to do it now, because I’ve got great songs. If I get super-desperate, maybe I will then…”\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>It's not over yet! Perry \u003ca href=\"http://www.nme.com/news/music/katy-perry-57-1237134#QyHSGV96RHIJfc8u.99\">went on\u003c/a>: “Actually, I did take all my clothes off for \u003cem>Teenage Dream\u003c/em>. I was on a cotton-candy cloud, showing my… back. I don’t have the body for it. If I had like, Rihanna’s body, I’d take my clothes off. But I don’t. I just hide my body in a way where you think I have it.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Nothing to see here!\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F57P9C4SAW4\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Later that same year, in \u003ca href=\"http://www.marieclaire.com/celebrity/a8596/katy-perry-interview-january-cover/\">\u003cem>Marie Claire\u003c/em>\u003c/a>, Perry tried her darnedest to express her religious beliefs (which apparently encompass nothing and everything simultaneously), and somehow made her belief in God about the fact that other people are scared of saying no to her, because she's a celebrity:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>\"I believe in a higher power bigger than me because that keeps me accountable. Accountability is rare to find, especially with people like myself, because nobody wants to tell you something you don't want to hear. I actually don't trust people who start to turn on me because they get scared of telling me the truth. I'm not Buddhist, I'm not Hindu, I'm not Christian, but I still feel like I have a deep connection with God.\"\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>It's a side note, but that \"deep connection with God\" got Perry into \u003ca href=\"http://www.bbc.com/news/world-asia-india-39650913\">extremely hot water\u003c/a> with Hindus around the globe last month, when she posted \u003ca href=\"https://www.instagram.com/p/BTDJ-gkD2HC/\">this image\u003c/a> of the Goddess Kali to her \u003ca href=\"https://www.instagram.com/katyperry/\">Instagram page\u003c/a>, with the caption \"current mood.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cimg class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-79891\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/pop/wp-content/uploads/sites/12/2017/05/KP-Goddess-800x1123.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"1123\">\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Indeed, sometimes it's the shortest of sentences that cause Perry the biggest headaches. Like in February, on the Grammy's red carpet, when she talked about shaving her head -- clearly referencing Britney Spears' \u003ca href=\"http://www.nickiswift.com/13904/britney-spears-breakdown-even-scarier-thought/\">2007 breakdown\u003c/a> -- twice. She \u003ca href=\"http://www.nme.com/news/music/britney-spears-responds-to-katy-perrys-mental-health-joke-1975330\">told Ryan Seacrest\u003c/a> that taking a break between records was \"Fantastic. And I haven’t shaved my head yet.” That same night, Perry also declared: \"The only thing left to do is shave my head, which I’m really saving for a public breakdown.

Sometimes, it seems like Perry's mouth starts moving before she's figured out what point she's trying to make, and the results are baffling on fairly regular occasions.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The most recent example emerged this week in an interview with \u003cem>\u003ca href=\"http://ew.com/music/2017/05/08/katy-perry-new-album/?xid=entertainment-weekly_socialflow_twitter\">Entertainment Weekly\u003c/a>, \u003c/em>in which Perry was asked whether or not her new album would include a \"reaction\" to Taylor Swift's \"\u003ca href=\"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QcIy9NiNbmo\">Bad Blood\u003c/a>\" (a song widely purported to be about Perry attempting to wreck a T. Swift tour via the medium of dancer theft). Perry's response to this relatively straightforward question was quite literally amazing. She tried to answer the question, while not answering it, while also attempting to deflect, while also God Bless and also nuh-uh, honey! This thing needs to be read to be believed:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>\"Well that’s not my question to answer — if it’s about me. I think [my new album is] a very empowered record. There is no one thing that’s calling out any one person. One thing to note is: You can’t mistake kindness for weakness and don’t come for me. Anyone. Anyone. Anyone. Anyone. And that’s not to any one person and don’t quote me that it is, because it’s not. It’s not about that. Honestly, when women come together and they decide to unite, this world is going to be a better place. Period end of story. But, let me say this: Everything has a reaction or a consequence so don’t forget about that, okay, honey. [Laughs] We got to keep it real, honey. This record is not about anyone else! This record is about me being seen and heard so that I can see and hear everyone else! It’s not even about me! It’s about everything that I see out there that I digest. I think there’s a healing in it for me and vulnerability. If people want to connect and be healed and feel vulnerable and feel empowered and strong, God bless and here it is.\"\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>This isn't the first time Katy Perry has answered a question in a manner that made little to no sense. Back in 2013, in an \u003ca href=\"http://www.npr.org/templates/transcript/transcript.php?storyId=240760441\">interview with NPR\u003c/a>, Perry criticized other pop stars for getting naked, while also recalling that she too gets naked sometimes, but not really, and she will take her clothes off one day, but only when she's desperate and old, but the reason she can't right now is because she doesn't have the body for it and... What the hell was she trying to say here again?\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>\"Like females in pop -- everybody's getting naked. I mean, I've been naked before but I don't feel like I have to always get naked to be noticed. But it's interesting to see... I'm not talking about anyone in particular. I'm talking about all of them. I mean, it's like everybody's so naked. It's like put it away. We know you've got it. I got it too. I've taken it off for -- I've taken it out here and there. And I'm not necessarily judging. I'm just saying sometimes it's nice to play that card but also it's nice to play other cards. And I know I have that sexy card in my deck but I don't always have to use that card. Maybe when I’m 35 I will. I don’t need to do it now, because I’ve got great songs. If I get super-desperate, maybe I will then…”\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>It's not over yet! Perry \u003ca href=\"http://www.nme.com/news/music/katy-perry-57-1237134#QyHSGV96RHIJfc8u.99\">went on\u003c/a>: “Actually, I did take all my clothes off for \u003cem>Teenage Dream\u003c/em>. I was on a cotton-candy cloud, showing my… back. I don’t have the body for it. If I had like, Rihanna’s body, I’d take my clothes off. But I don’t. I just hide my body in a way where you think I have it.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Nothing to see here!\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

Accountability is rare to find, especially with people like myself, because nobody wants to tell you something you don't want to hear. I actually don't trust people who start to turn on me because they get scared of telling me the truth. I'm not Buddhist, I'm not Hindu, I'm not Christian, but I still feel like I have a deep connection with God.\"\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>It's a side note, but that \"deep connection with God\" got Perry into \u003ca href=\"http://www.bbc.com/news/world-asia-india-39650913\">extremely hot water\u003c/a> with Hindus around the globe last month, when she posted \u003ca href=\"https://www.instagram.com/p/BTDJ-gkD2HC/\">this image\u003c/a> of the Goddess Kali to her \u003ca href=\"https://www.instagram.com/katyperry/\">Instagram page\u003c/a>, with the caption \"current mood.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cimg class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-79891\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/pop/wp-content/uploads/sites/12/2017/05/KP-Goddess-800x1123.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"1123\">\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Indeed, sometimes it's the shortest of sentences that cause Perry the biggest headaches. Like in February, on the Grammy's red carpet, when she talked about shaving her head -- clearly referencing Britney Spears' \u003ca href=\"http://www.nickiswift.com/13904/britney-spears-breakdown-even-scarier-thought/\">2007 breakdown\u003c/a> -- twice. She \u003ca href=\"http://www.nme.com/news/music/britney-spears-responds-to-katy-perrys-mental-health-joke-1975330\">told Ryan Seacrest\u003c/a> that taking a break between records was \"Fantastic. And I haven’t shaved my head yet.” That same night, Perry also declared: \"The only thing left to do is shave my head, which I’m really saving for a public breakdown. I’m down for that.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Incidentally, this is what Katy Perry's haircut looks like on the cover of her \u003ca href=\"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MH9ilfAZHOs\">new single\u003c/a>.

What started as a protest about gun control has now turned into a conversation about sexual assault, owing to the fact that the number one threat Jessica Jin and other advocates receive is that of rape (statements like \u003c/span>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">“We can’t wait for you to be raped or assaulted because then we’ll be proven right”\u003c/span>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\"> and \u003c/span>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">“I hope you get raped\u003c/span>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">” are alarmingly common).\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Prompted by the threats, Jin consulted with her fellow \u003cem>Cocks Not Glocks\u003c/em> activists at UT Austin and found that many of the women in the group had already experienced sexual assault.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",
