The Punk Rock MBA

Why do music nerds love Carly Rae Jepsen? Music nerds like Anthony Fantano love a handful of pop artists like Carly Rae Jepsen ("Call Me Maybe"), Taylor Swift, Rina Sawayama, Lorde and a few others while ignoring most mainstream pop artists. But why? What's behind music nerds' love for Carly Rae Jepsen? Is it just the "white girl with bangs" factor?

Is it ok when celebrities wear metal band shirts? For example Kendall Jenner in a Slayer shirt, Justin Bieber in an Iron Maiden shirt, Kanye West wearing a Cradle Of Filth shirt, and all the other examples of celebrities wearing metal shirts. What about Gary Holt of Exodus' "Kill A Kardashian" shirt?

My review of Erra "Nigh To Silence" upset a lot of people, and it made me realize that people mostly don't want honest reviews and reactions. Should I just give up and tell people what they want, or should I continue to be honest when I do reviews or reactions?

It's not secret that metal fans hate me! I look at why, starting with one of the many Reddit threads where metal fans hate me, and getting further into the psychology of why listening to metal becomes an unhealthy identity for some metal fans.
