I don't understand. There is apparently some backlash because this band is "hyped". But the fact is, this band has already written more great songs in just a little over a year, than most bands write in their whole career. I'm not going to argue that they're doing anything particularly original, but just the fact that they have awesome music is enough for me. Sure, it doesn't have a lot of substance, but it sure is neat. There's plenty of shit bands making bullshit music with no redeeming qualities whatsoever -- I'd rather go hate them instead of a band that's actually GOOD.
For example, I'm not a Wavves fanatic, but the dude writes solid little songs. Nothing groundbreaking or mindblowing and even occasionally boring.. but it's still good music. No reason to hate it, and I guess I just don't pay attention to whatever Hype Machine(c) everyone else is paying attention to (pitchfork?) to care about shit like that.
