Opening track that calls attention to itself
The 1975’s maximalist pop rock messily fuses disparate musical elements and lyrics that jump from sincere to self‑aware, with meta commentary and abundant pop culture references. And so, natural fodder for a pop culture column pointing out the links between vaguely related things. The obvious place to start is frontman Matty Healy, whose parents are known to many as acting’s Tim Healy (Auf Wiedersehen, Pet) and Denise Welch (Coronation Street).
