Pulp's This Is Hardcore

Más información sobre el libro

Exploring themes of fame, aging, and mortality, the 1998 album delves into the complexities of adult life, with a particular focus on pornography as a metaphor for celebrity. Jarvis Cocker, the band's frontman, reflects on his disillusionment with fame while addressing controversial subjects through evocative tracks like "Seductive Barry." Despite its sprawling nature and ambitious content, the album's commercial failure marks a significant moment in music history, symbolizing the decline of the Britpop movement that preceded it.
