Music snobs being terrible to each other for a decade. Writing was good, characters forgettable.

How can a book be so about me? For example, in the chapter "Mis Shapes"
"Why do you love dancing to britpop?" "Well, it’s basically dance music, but it’s songs, you know? Great songs, with melodies and words and images that mean something. Why anyone would want to dance to oonch, oonch umph ta, umph ta, is mystifying to me". YEAH!!!
My favourite book of 2025, so far.
