<rant> Bjork chose a different *form* of self-expression (pop) just because the boundaries of "underground" or "avant-garde" became restrictive. She's exploring the pop culture. In the process she tries different idioms just because she likes to play. A lot of idm is pure form without content. Form-driven art is not original and therefore boring. The intellectual snobbery, in my opinion, belongs to the category of fraternity type attitude. And oh yeah, a day job is the MINUS, not the plus. </rant>
