I recently read an interview with the two main guys from mgmt on, what I believe was pitchfork, and they addressed this whole non-conformist kick they are on. Apparently, the two bonded in school over bands that alienated and showed total disregard for their audiences.. They name dropped “suicide” for one. They went on to say how in early performances they would stop mid-song and run around stage just to get a reaction. Now, I am in no way condoning that type of crap, in fact I find it to be one of the higher forms of douchery, all I’m trying to say is that in response to them trying to be less accessible, I believe that is exactly what they are doing. Personally, I believe it is the backlash from an underground band unexpectedly blowing up. They sold out before they built up street cred. So now they have to prove themselves and as seen on snl, they are not doing it very gracefully.
