Question by Sam: Why do people say that Vampire Weekend makes good political statements?
Everyone I’m sure has seen Vampire Weekend’s new album cover for Contra. Why such a fuss? Why do people think a blonde girl in a polo shirt makes a political statement?

Best answer:

Answer by Yellowstonedogs
Personally, I don’t see it either but the band says (of the cover):
The girl’s identity on the front cover of Contra is unknown, although “she’s now living in Malibu”.
Lead singer Ezra Koenig has confirmed that the picture was taken in 1983 and was chosen as a juxtaposition to the debut album’s cover which, while taken in 2006, looks as if it “inhabits the same world”.
Koenig also referred to the girl as “Kirsten” in a post on Twitter.
The image of a blond, white girl in a Ralph Lauren polo shirt fits the bourgeois aesthetic of the band and is intended to represent the social and cultural conflict at the heart of the album.
Koenig likens the image to the Rorschach Test as multiple meanings can be extrapolated from just a few signifiers, saying, “Some people get very mad when they see a white blond girl in a Polo shirt.”

**I have absolutely no idea why**
