Something that pisses me off... (indie, metal, rock, genre)

Here's something that pisses me off: People who say that certain music/artists "suck" just b/c they are popular. People who constantly boast their love for "indie" artists, and once those artists hit it big and start to become popular, that same douchebag disowns them and says they "suck". Its all just an attempt to pass themselves off as a unique individual, which most people can easily see right through.

Or on the other hand it could be that to achieve that mainstream status the band have watered down their sound so much and compromised what it was that was good about them in the first place making those criticisms perfectly justified

Well anything is possible, but not all bands have to change to appease the mainstream audience. I'll assume that you comprehend what I'm saying and have just chosen to play Devil's Advocate.
