      I think it’s quite the opposite actually. Most of the best camp has a keen sense of self-awareness. That’s what makes it camp, as opposed to just weird or crazy.

      The idea that Rocky Horror fans or drag queens don’t know what they’re doing is absurd.

      I can’t even think of something I’ve heard described as camp that wasn’t hyper aware it was camp.

      Pretty sure camp means you DO know you’re ridiculous. But you are happy and proud, regardless. Look at John Waters’ career, for example. You think he doesn’t know what he’s doing?

      I’m pretty sure most things I’d describe as ‚camp‘ knew exactly what they were doing.

      I was dismissive of them when I was a young metal head…I resonate with their music now that I’m much older.

      In my experience people who dismiss camp are ridiculous and don’t know what they’re doing

      Fred is just talking out his ass, but truly they are a more well-rounded and influential band than many are aware of.

      Uh huh….and bauhaus isn’t goth, and Black Sabbath isn’t metal…bands often get precious about how they are defined.

      I’ve always thought the difference between camp and just cheesy is that camp DOES know it’s being ridiculous?

      I don’t have a dog in this fight—just wanted to point out that Ricky Wilson was a guitar god and that Wild Planet is an excellent, dark album.

      They probably caught him on a crabby day, camp is fantastic and lots of camp is perfectly self aware

      So is the headline shit, or does Schneider somehow not know what camp is?

      I lean towards the first, but ill happily be wrong.

      Susan Sontag argues that camp in the queer context is both sincere and intentional, and that without both it isn’t really camp.

      It’s the most missed and over used phrase in the English language , especially in the US.

      Camp literally means you’re being goofy and winking at it. You know what you’re doing. It’s camp.
