If their complaint is that they're well-known and therefore don't have any indie cred, then yeah, that's retarded. On the other hand, I have personally made this exact complaint about bands like Acres of Lions [http://www.myspace.com/acresoflions], who sound like every other shitty pop-punk band on the radio. It's manufactured, boring, formulaic, inoffensive, and clearly designed for nothing other than mass appeal - it's too mainstream. I think that's a completely legitimate complaint.CharlieOfNuts said:Right, worst reason I've ever heard...
"It's too mainstream."
Not liking a certain type of music because a lot of people listens to it is, in my humble opinion, wrong.
