PEL Presents PMP#134: Unpopular Music Genre Fandom

The Partially Examined Life Philosophy Podcast - A podcast by Mark Linsenmayer, Wes Alwan, Seth Paskin, Dylan Casey

Categories:

With the dissolution of popular music culture by the Internet, what is it now to be into music genres that aren't currently popular? Is it still an act of rebellion, or is even that passé?  Mark is joined by composer/multi-instrumentalist Jonathan Segel from Camper van Beethoven, philosopher Matt Teichman of the Elucidations podcast, and musician and Internet DJ Steve Petrinko to talk about our relation to the mainstream, the different types of unpopular music (popular 30 years ago vs. never popular avant garde), post-irony, and more.
