Rockism is clearly pretty useless as a totalizing way of looking at the world, but what about the possibility that it also works as a sort of… passing urge? I mean, if there’s music out there that magically thrills the soul of the rockist, that creates actual pleasure in the gut of this horrible stinky villain, then it stands to reason that there’s a hole— however small or particular or unadaptable to different-shaped pegs— somewhere in that rockist’s heart. And if that hunger exists, then certain pieces of music can be brilliant at sating it. This is true of every musical genre, I think. Nitsuh Abebe defends rockism in his latest Why We Fight column.
