Pop Will Repeat Itself

Soundcheck | Jul 27, 2011

Music writer Simon Reynolds takes on this nostalgia craze in his new book, “Retromania.” He joins us to reflect on our obsession with pop’s recent past – and to speculate on what it all means for pop’s future. 

Listeners: Do you think pop culture is addicted to its own past? Give us an example. Do you disagree? Tell us about music that is genuinely new. Weigh in below!
