Rockstar is a pretty good indictment of that whole “rockstar”/celebrity lifestyle and how empty, hollow, and fake it is but it’s aspired to by so many youths. there’s something here about capitalism bad and that all people really are aspiring to with the whole fame and fortune thing is to not live a life full of stress and struggle, but I’m not smart enough to put it together coherently

It was the mid 2000s rock bands looked like pizza delivery guys or My Chemical Romance. This is a post Nirvana world, rock bands had to act like they didn’t enjoy making tons of money playing music. That was for hip hop by then.

There is definitely an irony in hip hop being about enjoying all the money you make, a genre that historically, and well, presently, is about the frustrations of an underprivileged class.
