Jakarta on Dead Child

Last Plane to Jakarta on Authenticity and Dead Child:

Demanding authenticity from artists is a fool’s errand to begin with, but newjacks demanding authenticity from their metal bands because it makes them feel more clued-in is just shameful. Nobody cares that you know who Pajo is. He is making kick-ass metal now. If you don’t think so, you need to check your credentials. I could be wrong about the reception awaiting Dead Child, in which case I am just an old man sitting on the couch yelling at a TV that isn’t even turned on yet, but I’ll take my chances here. Dead Child, you wrongheaded imaginary interlocutors. Dead Child! I thank you for your attention.
