Yes, but he did it in a genre that was known for being rebellious. Not in a genre that was known for being completely corporate controlled including contractual obligations for purity, wholesomeness, and chastity* while the idol groups were presented with a wink and a nod as sex objects to their fans.

*Idols are generally salaried employees of their talent agencies not as independent entities. This also means pay tends to be low.

I'm too jaded to even entertain the idea that a collection of teen-aged girls achieved something monumental. Forgive me

It's almost like the pure as wind-driven snow culture you describe was ripe for some counter-culture

it's prolly happened thousands of times

LMAO

it's about sound in the end, not some perceived courageousness

Never much got into punk, because I'm not really interested in some outcast making pronouncements to crap music

not saying that's wat these cats u like r doing

you sitting around waiting for it?

Huh? For what? I am sitting.

the impact a very precocious group of younglings might make to the world

and putting it that way, I believe it does happen and even with regularity

just not in the world of Art

anyway, who cares let's rock lol

Just how drunk were you last night, Jesus...

rock/ music in general can still be rebellious or a medium for societal change if the artist is brave and the listeners are brave

like check this cat out... we are gonna take the band nsync with whatever perceived baggage they bring



lol I even like the original, despite its association with corporatism watevs

there's room for everything basically lol Don't these talking monkeys know that Eden has enough to go around?

just searched for The MMB. Gonna need to focus the search a bit, there's a lot out there that goes by The MMB
