Pretentious bollocksPossibly the worst event I ever went to was an evening of turntablists in London. The lights went down, the first guy put a cymbal onto a turntable, dropped the needle on it and left it making screeching noises for ten minutes.
When the lights came up, half the audience had snuck out.
What's the most pretentious rubbish you've ever been to see in the name of art?

"The morphines"I turn up at a gig to see some flavour-of-the-month band that's been on an advert to find that they have a support act. They call themselves "The morphines". They begin to churn out songs in a cliched indie way, while their 8 devoted fans (i.e. their mates) scream like idiots at the front. Screaming must mean they are doing well, so the ego inflates as the singer struts around like a twunt. He decides at one point that he's famous enough to get away with spitting beer on all the people standing near the stage through lack of anywhere better to stand (busy club). I wandered off at that point. Twunt.
