I don’t think its too much of a stretch to say we have reached cultural stagnation. Bland music, preachy woke TV and film offerings and a sanitized conformist pop culture, its all been a bit shit since the late 90’s. Hologram concerts are a good example of this. A hologram concert is a musical performance featuring AI-rendered artists, often dead or no longer touring.

ABBA are probably the best know but Tupac, Roy Orbison and Elvis have all been given a digital revival. I’m sure the promoters will tell you they are opening up their music to a new generation, ‘immersive experience’ goes the industry cuntwaffle. Unfortunately the new generation are the sort of bellends who will ignore the show and record an AI generated avatar of some cunt who has been dead fifty years on their phones to later post on social media how “amazeballs” it all was.

You cant beat the intensity of a proper gig. Everyone has a favourite from big stadium numbers to small intimate ones. The Beatles at Shea Stadium, Hendrix at Woodstock, Metallica playing to over a million headbangers during the death throes of the Soviet Union or AC/DC rocking out at River Plate..the list is endless.

“I’ll never forget seeing ‘An Evening with Whitney: The Whitney Houston Hologram Tour’ at Cardiff’s Motorpoint Arena. It changed my life. You just had to be there”.

Said nobody ever.
