As someone who has only had a passing interest in PC Music over the years but has got more and more into the stuff I have heard, can I just say, “Wow” to most of this thread. What a wild and stupid ride full of dreadful opinions.

*properly
Reading back to the start of the thread, the main problem is people assuming that the whole scene was based around multiple layers of irony, kind of a staggering misreading. Even in 2014 it should have been clear that the core of the movement was this love of the texture & feel of supposedly cheap late 90s pop and appreciating it in a playful, experimental way. The 90s were of course a time when everything was suffused with irony, usually in the most tedious way possible, so I guess it's understandable to be suspicious if that's where you started out, but if people can't give the benefit of the doubt to any new genre when it comes along, then that's just sad.

Think there was kind of a sea change when SOPHIE came out with It's OK To Cry.

the thing about pc music is they put out brilliance and garbage in about equal measure so basically everyone was at least kinda right

GFOTY is/was good, Secret Mix is a brilliant piece of music, and Don't Wanna/Let's Do It.
