that's a good album. I always liked it, but I'm only upper middle class and I went to two mid tier schools (University of Colorado at Boulder, Boston University).

Funeral

of course not everyone who likes that album fits the mold, i just mean albums that people like that would stereotypically enjoy

i like that album a lot and i have no higher education and work retail

any 00s indie band with a name consisting of three or more words e.g. Broken Social Scene, the Yeah Yeah Yeahs

wrong. That's what these people listen to when they want to feel culturally relevant. The Smiths and Nick Drake actually contributed to music pretty significantly for their time. Spawned many imitators, innovated, and were good song writers. Bands like those in the OP are a dime a dozen, pretty much all tend to go through the same phases of development as artists, and inevitably cash-in at some point. Occasionally they will write some good songs or put out a good album. But the sampling rate is very low. Maybe 1 in every 20 will achieve that. Their songwriting is not good enough on its own to carry the lack of innovation either. OP pretty much hit the nail on the head for once.

lol are you out of your fucking skull? where do you think every reverb laden jangly guitar band of the 00's and 10's got their sound from? Johnny Marr did a lot as far as guitar production in music is concerned, and his playstyle is still being copied ridiculously frequently to this day. Essentially no one was playing guitar that way until the Smiths came around.
