Well I just started liking The 1975, lol.
Also, fuck this guy:
"Wan Alman, entertainment director at Future Sound Asia which organises the Good Vibes Festival, told BBC News the bandās kiss came as āa complete surpriseā.
He said: āPrior to their performance, we were reassured by management that they would adhere to all local performance guidelines as do all international artists that perform in the country, and yeah so we were completely surprised that the performance took such a turn.ā
Mr Alman stressed international acts need to understand breaking rules comes at a high cost and not necessarily for the performers.
āI think itās very easy for him [Healy] to fly in and do whatever he wants to do, and then just fly out without having to face or take accountability for any consequences for his actions, while the ones who suffered implications are his fans here because his set was cut short, the festival organisers and, you know, I think the industry as a whole.ā"
The people who have to live under draconian & oppressive laws are the ones who suffer. Fuck your festival, fuck the industry and fuck you too Wan Alman.
Matty has been doing stunts like this for years, they canāt have been that surprised, and while it is a little performative, Iāll take it any day over the usual rainbow capitalist stuff we get from our popstars. Iām actually a (somewhat reluctant) 1975 defender - they can be relentlessly derivative, their lyrics can veer into thermonuclear cringe territory, but at the same time I think theyāve made some of the best pop music of the past few years and they put on a killer live show.
this is an all-time great bit
