Well, we are if the following article is anything to go by, anyway.
It's an article showcasing the pop and rock stars of the last few decades and showing their modern day counterparts.
For example - Beyonce is the new Tina Turner. Well.. OK, I can accept that. And Britney is the new Madonna. Er.... dunno about that, but OK, we'll go with that for now.
But wait till you see some of them. Take heart in the fact this is some crappy "showbiz" column and so you can take the "journalism" with a huge pinch of salt, but fuck it makes for depressing reading.
As it's a UK website, there'll be some names you're probably not familiar with, so just to keep you up to speed on a few of the more eye-popping entries that made me want to eat my monitor..
Jamie Hince is frontman for little known UK band The Kills. Quite why he's the next * is anyone's guess, despite the fact he's got a famous girlfriend.
Heather Small is the lead singer for a band called M People, a band described by author Christopher Brookmyre as a band "for people who don't actually like music."
Justin Hawkins is the lycra wearing "ironic" goon from defunct novelty rock band The Darkness and a triple entry into The Curmudgeon's Amazon review list. You won't BELIEVE who they say he's the successor to.
Luke Pritchard is most famous for being in God-awful faux "indie" band The Kooks, a band so derivative and unoriginal that surely the lead singer must be the new......
Honestly. It's surely bad for the blood pressure. You've been warned..
