Boy George thinks pop music is a bit boring these days to be honest

  • May 21, 2012
  • Brad O'Mance

Singing hatwearer Boy George has told BANG Showbiz (as quoted here) that his reaction to modern pop is "just like, 'yawn'".

Stopping just short of sug­gest­ing that 'it's all just noise', he went on: "I think the problem at the moment, and has been for a while, is that everybody wants to make loads of money, because that seems to be the most important thing. They all want the fur coat, nobody wants to change the world — and that's the problem."

It's almost as if he hasn't heard 'Dance Again'.

"Pop, I think, just goes in waves, and I think tech­no­logy kind of makes everyone make the same record," he continued.

We get his point and everything but imagine if tech­no­logy made everyone make 'Bad Romance'. That would be good.
