And in the ‘old popstar bemoans new pop music’ slot today, it’s Mr Roger Daltrey. Modern artists lack “angst and purpose”, see? Perhaps all the angsty kids with purpose are too busy sexually molesting strangers on their YouTube channels; when it comes to turning teenage rebellion into a revenue stream for the establishment, Google’s taken over from the labels.

Anyway, says The Who man Daltrey to the Mail On Sunday: “Here we are with the world in the state it is in, and we’ve got One Direction. Where are the artists writing with any real sense of angst and purpose? There are no movements at the moment: we had mod and then there was punk, but it’s so hard to start a movement now. Unless it’s ISIS”.

Oh, so all the angsty kids with purpose are too busy declaring war on Western liberal secularism on their YouTube channels? Well, if someone’s got to turn that into a revenue stream for the establishment, Google’s welcome to it.
