“ I think everyone’s inherently snobbish. Things that are very popular are not taken seriously, because the snobbish side of one says, “Well, if everyone likes it it can’t be that good.” Whereas if only I and a couple of other people like it, then it must be really something special. „
Brian Eno explains what many colloquially view as the “Pitchfork mentality” in a recent Pitchfork interview.
Of course many people will just substitute the “only a couple of people like it” rule for the “has or would Brian Eno work with this artist rule”. Which is marginally better than the other rule, but still not as good as understanding what you are listening to.
