All genres believe in meritocracy or else you wouldn't known the other bands. You just know the better, meritocratic bands who didn't get eaten by sharks.

Mother****er the whole thing of thinking that one band is a better band is a meritocracy. You just want someone else to join in and justify your meritocracy.

Hopefully I don't drown basically.

I see JTF's taste in music is still awful. I like the Drones, but they're nowhere near as good as TFS

Great genre. I dunno why people think it killed prog though: bands emerged in the late 70's that absorbed influences from both sides of that coin. And then older prog bands subsequently morphed into AOR/Art Rock hybrids and took over the 80's.

Also, Cardiacs <3
