This authenticity thing in rock music really irritates me, given it’s modern folk music turned into show biz and display for the mass market. All entertainment is artefice and exaggeration, and that’s what makes it fun. Being noisy and cross in front of other people who clap and give you drinks, particularly so. Maybe Crass or The Clash should have paid the audience?
