I'll keep this short, party people. Just because a band records an album with nothing but boring down-strums, reverb, the production quality of a tin-can, and overly honest, trite lyrics, does not make them "organic" "hip" or "cutting edge". It means their studio equipment sucks, or they paid a lot of money to make their studio equipment sound like it sucks, and that they can't write complicated lyrics without sounding abstract and pretentious. Instead, they state the obvious and we crap our skinny jeans over how "honest" and "authentic" they sound.
Poo-poo on you, indie-wanna-bes. Poo-poo indeed.
