Hozier hits out at the 'very sad' and 'strange' self-obsessed selfie craze

Hozier has hit out at the “very sad” and “strange” craze of people taking selfies at every possible moment.

The Wicklow star admits he is not a fan of today’s superficial, selfie-obsessed culture at all.

He said: “I’m uncomfortable with selfies and status updates documenting mundane pieces of my life which I don’t think should be of interest to anyone else.

Not a fan of selfies: All Hozier wants to do is make calls

“The idea that people would spend some of their own human experience discussing the most trivial everyday experiences of somebody else’s life, I find that strange, and very sad in many ways.”

The Take Me To The Church singer has admitted that he finds certain aspects of his relatively newfound fame surreal.

He said: “It’s been a very steep learning curve. By nature I’m an awkward person, I’m a gangly introvert.

“I feel my duty is to make music. And then you get into this whole malarkey. I just came from VH1 and they’re asking me about my hair. This is a man-bun, apparently.”

The Wicklow native told the Telegraph that he believes social media encourages a society of self-obsession.

“We are in a self-obsessed moment of mankind. Everything is marketed towards the idea of the self, but not the real self, rather what you want people to think you are.

“Social media is an advertisement for the superficial extroverted self.”
