i hardly think of genres or scenes, i sometimes happen to like bands that are scene and lumped with a lot of crap which i find surprising (like the shins or the arcade fire, for example). i sort of always felt it was fucked that indie music like pavement, dinosaur, cat power, etc. up to the shins and the arcade fire was poppy and slick-produced, i thought that indie music was supposed to be noise and ugly and hard to swallow!! now i appreciate them for what they are, poppy and nice and shit, it's cool, just not made to stay indie.
i don't like those b52's rip offs (new pornographers), those belle and sebastian rip offs (bss) or those...well...completely horrific shit that's crap your hands say hurl.
