Arrivano le nomination per gli European Music Awards di MTV – MTV EMAs 2022, e puntualmente ci ritroviamo i soliti nomi, a partire da Harry Styles, che di candidature se ne prende sette. Guardando a casa nostra, tra i Best Italian Act, troviamo invece gli immancabili Måneskin (in lizza anche per Best Rock), ma anche i prevedibili Pinguini Tattici Nucleari Ariete, Blanco e Elodie.
Tra le scelte più risibili, guardando le rispettive categorie, troviamo gli Imagine Dragons inseriti tra i Best Alternative, ma ci sono anche i Gorillaz (che per l’Europa rappresentano il corrispettivo di qualsiasi mainstream act americano) e pure i Tame Impala… Stendiamo inoltre un velo pietoso sulla sezione elettronica composta da Calvin Harris, David Guetta, DJ Snake, Marshmello, Swedish House Mafia e Tiësto, i corrispettivi contemporanei dei più bolsi prog rocker della fine degli anni ’70. Consoliamoci, perlomeno è stato plurinominato il videoclip di Lamar The Heart Part 5.
