The Vampires Are a Coincidence, I Swear
I am a child of the '80s, and in large part as a consequence, I really love synthpop. (If you're unfamiliar with the genre, the Eurythmics' song "Sweet Dreams (Are Made of This)" is the archetypal example.) I don't actually own much of it, though. It hasn't been all that popular in the US since, well, the '80s. Complicating the matter is that unlike, say, mediocre rock music, mediocre synthpop is fairly annoying, and often not worth listening to. It makes it harder to want to invest in.
The other day, though, I got it into my head that I needed to find some. Enter Wikipedia and You Tube. The first song I found is actually fairly enjoyable:
...if really tacky. But still good fun! Something about the woman, "Exo-Chika", suggests to me that she could be a transvestite, though. I think the bulk of the reason is that, if you've ever seen a man trying to pass as a woman, and trying to evoke gracefulness, and just slightly failing? Yeah.
Was that too harsh?
Also, YOU DO NOT EAT A POMEGRANATE THAT WAY.
Also also, it seems I missed a concert they gave in Houston. I am disappointed.
