You ARE joking... right?

I liked Keane...but then my testicles dropped.

--- Quote from: Merkava ---Oh, and stereotypical shit music TOTALLY makes sense as an insult. Wow. Modest Mouse is SOOOOO what all of us think of when we think of shit music! No, not Britney Spears or Snow Patrol, MODEST MOUSE. Yes, THAT's the common definition of shit.
--- End quote ---
It makers sense as an insult because Modest Mouse is often hailed by a lot of people as some sort of music revival (like the Strokes or the White Stripes, but don't get me started on them either) when really, their music isn't anything new or special. Why do indie kids fellate them? I'm not really sure. I mean, if you're going to talk about innovation, there are much better bands out there. Thus, pointing out that Isaac Brooks writes stereotypical shit music does make sense. Pointing out that Snow Patrol or Britney Spears are shit is really just being redundant.
Merkava:
I have yet to find a band that sounds like Modest Mouse. Care to point me to a band that does so that their clicheness and lack of innovation can be proven?
sp2:
I don't listen to much like Modest Mouse, but I would argue that most of the musical "innovation" is taken from various jam bands and just co-opted into a more traditional indie rock song format. Really, I don't hear anything on Moon and Antarctica that I haven't heard late at night in a stuffy college dorm room.
