Never have computers played such a prominent and visible role in Top 40 pop. The girls who love One Direction are growing up with Ableton and Fruity Loops on their laptops, and making their own music using those programs. The dream of getting a guitar and learning how to make it talk isn’t totally dead, but it’s not the dominant one.
—Ann Powers on boy bands, DJs and rock bands making mysterious use of technology.

Not sure how I feel about this. Every little girl should have to guitar to make talk. Computers just aren’t as cool.
