No one dislikes CocoRosie because they’re a female duo. People dislike them because they are annoying – their voices, their image, etc. To contend that Aryan muscle-boys are the root of their failure is to forget how terribly mediocre they are. Just because you’re weird, doesn’t make you memorable.
Also, how are they not successful? Everyone remotely into music has heard of them, listened to them, and ultimately cast judgement. The fact that most people dislike them shouldn’t be seen as some hegemonic coaxing, but as a simple democratic process that has determined that CocoRosie is, at best, just okay.
Also, Jamie Stewart has always been a dick, so why is anyone surprised? But let’s not debate VW here.
