^ ive always liked your name indiesnob, no matter what it says below... 
not saying that anyone here does this, as i dont know you personally but i know a bunch of people who only like a band before they become popular, even if its only for a few weeks before they become "too commercial"... these same people also relish in that they 'love' a certain bad that 'nobodies probably heard of'... and that, i think, is an even more appropriate example of musical shallowness than liking the current pop band...
yet again, im not saying that anyone here is guilty of this heinous act...
*and yes, ive heard of modest mouse and have a few albums... |
Heh, with me it's more of a tounge in cheek handle than anything. I myself am far from a scenester as I refuse to run around with a bunch of kids in chucks and dyed black hair, and I'm much more open to alot of music, even some popular stuff. I also don't go for the whole 'if the band gets big I don't like them anymore' deal. I dislike Modest Mouse now because they've lost touch with their earlier sound, and are now being over-produced. One case of a band I still love even though they've become so huge is the Flaming Lips. Once Yoshimi Battles The Pink Robots came out they hit an all time high, but yet Wayne Coyne consistantly makes brilliant music, whether it's their early pysch-semi post punkish material to their more lush electronic stuff as of late. To me Soft Bulletin (their second to last album) was the best album of the 90's, and one of the best wall of sound type produced albums ever.
