If cheesy means unashamedly poppy with singalong vocal refrains and vaguely nostalgic lyrics about teen love then break out the World’s largest cheese grater and cover me in cheddar. I love the stuff. You know why? Because everything’s easier when you don’t have to detect irony.
Take Brooklyn duo The Drums for example all New Wave Romanticism, beach references and black and white videos with high school losers. On paper it sounds overly-sentimental and kinda lame but embrace the corniness and it’s the best shit ever. That, my friends, is the power of cheese.
