nardwuar was a total dick throughout this interview and i think it's bc since knew that every member of the strokes was the son of a millionaire/celebrity, and they all look like fashion models, nardwuar probably didnt take them seriously. nardwuar's from punk, he probably enjoyed trolling a band he thought were made up of spoiled rich brats whose music would probably suck and the whole band would eventually be forgotten. i think only a single had come out when this interview took place; hardly anyone was aware of the talent of the strokes. nardwuar is a GOAT interviewer, but i think he underestimated these guys. the awkwardness does make this a hilarious interview tho

I have a theory that Nardwuar is always kind of antagonistic and patronizing. I think his "character" started as a subversive joke (remember, he was in a hardcore punk rock band before all his fame as an interviewer so he's at least somewhat self aware). He's faux-nice but it comes off pretty passive aggressive sometimes. In his early interviews he was regularly combative (eg the one with Beck where he was a total dick). He acted snotty toward a lot of indie acts in the 90s and early 00s. Then suddenly he shifted focus from punk/indie to mainstream rap music, which also seemed odd to say the least. In his interviews with young black rappers for example, you have to wonder if a white Canadian in his 50s is constantly mispronouncing "Lil Uzi" on purpose. Constantly referring to Snoop Dogg as 'Snoop Doggy Dogg' in almost a sarcastic fashion, like he's mocking him to his face. I don't know. His grab bag of tricks can be interesting at times but this interview is a great example of how he's actually kind of an undercover cock.

@@johnulcer well snoop was originally called snoop doggy dogg. nardwuar is definitely an annoying asshole during that Beck phonecall

@johnulcer 4 жыл бұрын

@@boozerverif I know it was once what people referred to him as, but Nardwuar refers to him (in most of the interviews, years after he became known as just Snoop or Snoop Dogg) by his full name an almost obnoxious amount of times... It comes off almost patronizing to me. It'd be like if someone constantly referred to you by your full name in a conversation. You'd start to be like, why is this person using my full name?

It seems like Julian is tired of people saying he's just a rich kid and he pays his way through life by being in his dad's shadow. I feel bad that a lot of people think he's stuck up. That's so untrue. I think he acts stuck up now that he's older because he's making fun of what everyone has said about him. I loved at Coachella this year when he talked about arriving on his diamond encrusted private jet - it shows that he's trying not to let it get to him and not take it all too seriously.

In this case, he is just taking the piss... maybe he just likes hip hop and punk and doesnt respect the strokes music ? If thats so well, this is one interview he maybe shouldn't have done... or I at least shouldnt have seen.
