The thing I like about it most is the way in which it crossbreeds fearlessly (often in the space of one record) the coolest and most obscure dance and rock genres with the basest and most profane and untouchable (in an Indian caste-sense) disposable genres of the despised 80s--- that ability to bend cool and uncool to the point where its no longer a question of po-mo irony but genuine confusion between art-sensory delight and cognoscenti-disgust: such confusion being a genuinely and perverse ultra-contemporary sentiment outside of the historical memory-games which appear to be central to this genre.
but you get things like long guitar solos etc things which were once thought of as cool and skillfull, but post punk are thought of as rubbish, and time wasting, which is an interesting thing.
It's almost irony in the sense when people realise that (with age maybe, with the internet maybe even more) that totally single minded single genre tastes are diverse, wide ranging ad maybe very different from yours, but there is this kind of feeling if you don't accept at least part of someone else's single minded tastes you might be missing a trick, so it's cognoscenti in a way that it cooly accepts that and trys to weave those things in i guess.
i hate the sound of the electric guitar solo quite alot though, the only person i like to do guitar solos is kerry king from slayer cos he solos like what guitar solos actually sound like to me.
