@@bfg_pz2213yup. Before social media, we didn’t know who Nardwuar was and his entire persona and schtick came across as one of an annoying troll, not an endearing fan boy who lavishes his interviewees with trivia and gifts. The word started spreading about how great of an interviewer he was and it helped to earn him a reputation where musicians were looking forward to the interview. In the early days, a lot of musicians were annoyed by his over the top persona. David Cross called him out on it. Even in later years, you could see Marc Maron not being into it, and Kid Cudi literally left because he’d had enough. Everyone loves him now as an adorable geek, but he’s also softened his approach and has become more inviting and not as antagonistic as he became more well known.

THIS! Not defending how anyone treated him, but it feels like the initial gimmick with Nardwuar was to be an instigating, overbearing, and annoying fanboy parody. He dresses eccentrically, his voice is screechy, his questions are extra personal, and some have even commented on his odor in the past and present. People aren't going to accept that out of the gate as something to be respected or endured, especially if you don't go away when they show general disinterest or outright aggression.

Nardwuar is a punk rock legend, most rappers are punk fans but its so sad that so many punk-alternative musicians were such posers that they thought treating one of the sweetest people on the planet was part of the "punk" attitude. Treating people like shit and being a general ass has nothing to do with punk and it makes me so happy that so many rappers are carrying on some of the best attributes of the genre.

[@BeanBb-jw7lo]

if nardwar was a random with no following at all i bet those rappers would just tell security to shoo him away... you really cannot compare interviews from 20-30 years to today to judge someone's character. like you said it was part of the "punk rock image" to treat interviewers like this, but also nardwar did not have the same reputation as he does today. It's been known in modern times that treating nardwar without respect is just plain bad PR.

[@joshbanks9261]

Have to give him props he broke through the usual barriers to get to the artists that definitely is punk rock. But sometimes you catch an artist on bad night problems with the performance drama within the band etc. Usually after a show the bands just want to chill and Nardwar gets in their face. Thurston Moore helped get my sisters book produced Punk House seems like a good guy but maybe caught him on a bad night. Rappers seem to enjoy publicity I had an online magazine Publicity Whore so I know a bit of the game. I've tracked down band artists for interviews now just get a photo quick conversation but I live in SEA so just the ones who come out here that I can connect with or even put on shows with as well. Nardwar created a name and gets the interview and knows who he's chatting with as well. He made it on his own so have to give him props in a the competitive crazy world of the entertainment industry.

[@buckodonnghaile4309]

Sonic youth members are posers now because they don't fit in your narrow definition of a genre formed decades before your birth. Haha

Nothing more punk rock than proper manners.

[@joshbanks9261]

In the first interview the member of the band was being unprofessional and childish. Thurston more is an artist he was trying to be cool with Nardwar. Some artists don't want to be bothered its their right and usually interviews are set up through pr people or even photos. Its tough to break through though and Nardwar got in their not sure now if he contacts the bands via online or just shows up. I grew up around punk rock in the 80s and 90s in the Inland Empire also rappers as well. Its funny as Thurston Moore wrote "most punks are nice people" think now a lot of us older not into the destructive behavior that destroyed the scene in the early 80s. Imagine though this guy throwing a microphone in your face right after a performance at times that can be annoying I'm sure. Though he made a name for himself on the internet without the internet many would not have careers these days in the entertainment industry. I left just before the boom happened right before social media became huge as it did. Though moving to Asia discovering real people who struggle through barriers most Westerners would never understand is eye opening to say the least. Next I hope to explore Europe the scene is a lot bigger over there working on my own writing projects as well.

If you notice, the bands are from like 20 years ago. Nowadays it's "cool" to treat nardwar with mad respect, and all the rapper interviews are recent. Even if they hate nardwar and people "like him", they'll still treat him very kind because it's good PR, because of videos exactly like this. What I want to see, is interviews from 20 years ago, where people treated him super kind. Back then it was a kind of schtick to treat journalists this way, so it would be extra impressive to see an old video of someone treating nard, who wasn't even close to as famous, with mad respect based on human interaction alone and not clout like it is nowadays.

[@revelrem4409]

Some rock artists/bands don't treat him like trash. Jello, former lead vocalist of the Dead Kennedys, was only slightly snarky/sarcastic in the first few, which were from the late 80s and early 90s respectively, but didn't treat Nardwuar like trash in any of them. Henry, the guy in the first clip with the grey shirt, did another thirteen years later, where he was clearly much more polite and respectful, rather than being as rude as he was in the initial interview. But yeah, Blur and Sonic Youth were absolute jerks in those interviews. No two ways about it. Especially with the Sonic Youth one, you don't break someone's record that they bought specifically for you as a gift.

The reason Dave Roundtree behaved how he did was because he was an alcoholic at the time. He says he watches his Nardwuar interview every time he gets tempted to drink again. By contrast, as far as I know, Sonic Youth and Lydia Lunch never had the bravery to apologize to him, the cowards.

[@willm687]

Plenty of alcoholics aren’t dickheads

[@kebab_boi]

Not only booze, but also coke. Not a good combo. I’m not justifying his actions, but both substances really deteriorate one’s mental health over time. I respect Dave for actually apologizing and even writing a letter to Nard the next day after the interview. Sonic Youth on the other hand…

[@SatanEatsJesus]

As an ex alcoholic, I totally get it

[@shkmru3]

[@exhermit]

Edit: I have since changed my view on this, as stated in a later comment. I’ll never respect someone that bullies what they perceive to be the weakest person in the room. He only apologised due to the scrutiny, and if Nardwuar hadn’t become what he is today, that apology would never come arrived. He’s a coward in wolf’s clothing.

I’m glad the Rap & Hip-Hop community have enough heart to appreciate Nardwuar. That was so beautiful to see. Also I love every interaction between Nardwuar & Tyler the Creator.

[@underlightmusic]

I played in a ton of no-name rock bands and played alongside lots of similar bands. Some were cocksure assholes (Devil Wears Prada) and some were cool as fuck (The Swellers). There is definitely a link between being a self-serving dickhead and achieving high popularity. If you don't care about other people then it's easy to use and abuse whatever resources (including people) will raise your status. It's a safe assumption that any band that were raised to high status were led by at least one asshole member. Talent and ability have nothing to do with it. I've seen and heard countless bands who made killer, mind-blowing music, but never got recognition because they weren't in the game to garner praise or reinforce their fragile ego. They were just doing what they loved because they loved to do it, and had a blast doing it with friends while going on to lead normal nobody lives.
