Don't like this commentator's attitude which is disparaging of people clearly enjoying themselves. Piss off mate.

Blech, this is another useless term for try-hards who want to be perceived as intellectual about music. It's similar in effect to the word "arthouse".

"Disinfo" was the first place I heard about BJ Snowden, so I am grateful to them and to Irving for bringing her to my attention. Yet I don't know how to feel about the whole "Outsider" label and BJ's inclusion in this. I personally don't think she should be included with a twirling reverend, a guy making fart noises on his hand, or "Lazy and Crazy". She is more along the lines of Daniel Johnston, Shonen Knife, and the B52s. People with unique voices, original sounds, and unusual subject matter.

No, it's good because it's good - it just happens to be bad at the same time.

@kindofobvious Well, it is weird because it is different than the rest. Now, if it s worse or better, now that requires a very long discussion.

@muskypucker Not only did BJ Snowden study at Berklee, but that has no importance since "suck at music" doesn't mean anything to start with anyways.

''outsider music'' is music that is so bad it's good.

I never... NEVER get tired of watching this! It's sure to make me laugh, no matter what kind of day I'm having.

@kindofobvious Exactly. When I first heard the term I was fascinated but quickly was turned off by it. You're an insider artist once you don't have a developmental problem? I don't know. I never know when we're celebrating 'outsiders' or when we're watching the village idiot.

Outsider Music is the genre with the most important message: Do whatever you want and don´t care about the rules of the music business.
