Before I continue, can anyone independently verify that this is a thing? Because I flipped through one of the six channels available to me while I was working on The Awful Show and caught like 30 seconds of the SNL sketch mentioned (the first time I'd watched SNL since... like... Sinead O'Connor was burning the pope) before flipping on, and just to see, looked up the song on Youtube and listened all the way through (before unmuting Shpongle). So... I don't have any skin in this game but the above is horrifying if true.To be clear: I’m not arguing anything about Adele herself, nor about all possible interpretations of “Hello,” but about a liberal one that dominates media coverage of the song. This particular strain of “Hello” fandom is about the pleasure in sharing a common interpretive horizon, a common underlying set of habits, intuitions, and bodily orientations to the world.
