Image
Credit: Dallas Observer Landlocked Dallas may seem like the last location on earth to be a center for yacht rock, yet there was a bold assertion made about the genre this week. There was a tweet from the Texas Music Office about yacht rock legend Christopher Cross quoted by Dallas Mayor Eric Johnson to establish yacht rock as "the official music of the Dallas City Council."

This led us to ask why do Dallas City Council members get to enjoy comfortable chambers while criticizing music. Were there no genres that were even loosely related to Dallas? Although it pains us to admit so, Mayor Johnson has a point. Aside from its status as an archaic subgenre despised by the masses, yacht rock has played an important role in shaping more recent subgenres such as vapourwave and Future Funk. There is even a mixtape series called "Modern Yacht Rock Summer Mix" on Dall...
