"What disturbs me the most now is the rising tide of cynicism. Mainstream pop has followed Britpop into the, 'I'm great. You're shit. It's all about my socks.' To paraphrase Oasis... Popular media has become entirely trivial. A young musician who wants to make a difference can't be confident they'll be taken seriously. Instead of finding themselves on the front cover, they're more likely to get the piss taken out of them."
