Yeah they may have called it "low energy songs that suck."

It's predictable they put a record at #2 from an artist no one cares about and said yeah it was because of her political impact, i.e. feminism. Wow!

The idea that indie is basically low energy folk music with quirky lyrics is idk an odd definition. I consider, you know, Animal Collective to be indie but they used synthesizers and they weren't from the 90s so I guess it's out?

And not even a good white male genre. I can barely sit through Neutral Milk Hotel and Pavement. Did they pen a few decent tunes? Sure. But this stuff is very low T. Outside of Portland, Oregon and college radio who listens to this stuff?

Every alternative band with an ax and and overdrive pedal leapfrogs this entire space. Sure, there's a market for Guided by Voices. There are white dudes who voted for Kamala. Just not very many of them.

Soft rock has always had a Place in rock n roll history, but it's always taken a back seat to the harder stuff.

glow pt 2 by the microphones and lonesome crowded west by modest mouse are both 180. probably in my top 10 of any genre, definitely for mm.
