“Rock, for all the power of its individual dreams, is still confined by its mass cultural form. Its history, like the history of America itself, is a history of class struggle--the struggle for fun.”

“Cultural judgments, in other words, aren’t just subjective, they are self-revealing, and to become another person, to fake ourselves for whatever reason, means having to pretend to like things in which we find nothing valuable at all”

“For fans, whose musical values don’t matter so much, or, rather, matter in different ways, with different consequences, trading pop judgments is a way to “flirt and fight.”
