what is wonky

[crime]

I've no idea. they do though don't they

because 1 man's turd is another mans treasure, the is no such thing as "good music" or "shit music" apart from inside your own head, and that's all based around what you like and what you don't like..

your idea of a good track might be my idea of a shit track, and if you really like something, someone else telling you it's shit it just going to make you think that they just don't get it..

so there's really only 2 kinds of music, music you like and music you don't like..

Genres can be usefull as descriptive terms in a record shop situation, but the problem is, some people view their favorite genre in the same terms that they view their favourite football team, and unimaginative producers become all engrossed in one sound convinced that any kind of step out of the remit of the said genre is "selling out" which is kind of playground mentality really, I mean, why limit yourself? you scared that your friends won't like you anymore because, you know, likeing minimal is soooo saaad!!!??? or liking jazz is soo turtleneck??

again, this is the point for me, the first 2 waves of so-called "wonky" artists were influenced by a lot of different stuff, whereas the 3rd wave that came out of germany just seemed to want to copy the first two, which is why the music came out sounding plastic and unfunky to me...
