"The Boy Bands Have Won, and All the Copyists and the Tribute Bands and the TV Talent Show Producers Have Won, If We Allow Our Culture to Be Shaped by Mimicry, Whether from Lack of Ideas or from Exaggerated Respect. You Should Never Try to Freeze Culture. What You Can Do Is Recycle That Culture. Take Your Older Brother's Hand-Me-Down Jacket and Re-Style It, Re-Fashion It to the Point Where It Becomes Your Own. But Don't Just Regurgitate Creative History, or Hold Art and Music and Literature as Fixed, Untouchable and Kept Under Glass. The People Who Try to 'Guard' Any Particular Form of Music Are, Like the Copyists and Manufactured Bands, Doing It the Worst Disservice, Because the Only Thing That You Can Do to Music That Will Damage It Is Not Change It, Not Make It Your Own. Because Then It Dies, Then It's Over, Then It's Done, and the Boy Bands Have Won", commonly known as just "The Boy Bands Have Won", is the thirdteenth studio album by Chumbawamba. The album title holds the Guinness World Record for longest album title ever of 156 words or 865 characters. It is the band's second album since transitioning into a folk music band. Themes on the album include Philip Larkin, suicide bombers, being shot by a firing squad and social networking, among others. It would be the first of two albums the band recorded as a quintet in their history. User-contributed text is available under the Creative Commons By-SA License; additional terms may apply.
