"The whole enbie thing feels so contrived, as if these people grew up idolizing David Bowie or Kurt Cobain or any other androgynous rockstar icon in the past 40 years and thought that they could achieve that same androgynous effect by shoehorning neutral pronouns into everyone's vocabulary and demand"

"The music itself is amazing. The stomping drums and bassline, the sax, the whole fucking thing. The lyrics are insanely good, a portrait of 70's era disillusioned youth, a materialistic and troubled society, class/gender/racial anxiety. Delivered by what is perhaps my all time favorite vocal perform"
"Just give me someone that looks like 70s david bowie"

"3. Aladdin Sane - David Bowie (either this or Ziggy Stardust)"
"Another perfect chorus is 'Ashes to Ashes' by Bowie. This one is just as much about the build up the this part as it is the chorus itself. This song is such a perfect little journey. It's a gradual build of tension that all culminates in this insanely catchy and funny chorus. The fan service too is "
