And I thought that the pop music industry was different and I was fucking wrong, because I went to the Brits and I saw it everywhere and it\u2019s the same thing. It\u2019s a lot of women who couldn\u2019t fit in their cocktail dresses and lots of men in black ties who essentially didn\u2019t want to be there, but were. And I was there and we were all committing the same offence. All my favorite artists are people who never seem to be involved in the industry and I found myself getting involved in it, and I felt really ashamed to be there. <\/p>\n<p>I don\u2019t think young people are as demoralized as the media and government would like us to think. The obvious sign of that is how strong and how close personal connections are and how much people are able to build a life for themselves, despite all this stuff that\u2019s been thrown at them.\u201d \u2013 Thom Yorke \u2013 <a href=\"https:\/\/ainhoaaristizabal.wordpress.com\/2012\/06\/11\/thom-yorke-quotes\/\">Interview<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u201cBut I got into music, because I naively thought that &hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[12749],"tags":[582,225,113,725,3,5268],"class_list":["post-3682","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-tumblr","tag-art","tag-interview","tag-music","tag-pop","tag-quote-of-the-day","tag-thom-yorke"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.6 -
