I think that pop, and to some extent rock, are like sport and fashion industry in that they're about the exuberance of youth. That's the sort of subliminal ideology. ↗

I would like to think that the singer is the butterfly, and the drummer was just the little grub in the ground, working to become a caterpillar. ↗
