Robert Duncan (born November 5, 1952) is an American music critic, author and entrepreneur.
Robert Duncan was managing editor of Creem[1] from 1975 to 1976 and a contributor to the magazine from 1974 to 1981.
His characterization of heavy metal as "dismal, abysmal, terrible, horrible, and stupid music, barely music at all"[2] has been cited multiple times by academics as evidence of the contempt most critics held for the genre.[3][4]
Duncan also writes poetry and novels. His poems have been published in Maintenant, The Journal of Contemporary Dada Writing and Art.[5] His first novel, Loudmouth, based in part on his experiences in music, was published on October 6, 2020, by Three Rooms Press (distributed by PGW/Ingram).
