i listened to wavves again last night, I dont understand how they are so popular or hyped. I really can't get into their stuff. even their most popular song so bored was pretty boring. I was reading a quote about the way he makes his music and he was pretty much saying, if it wasnt for the way he recorded it, the music sounds like ****ty stereotypical pop.

That applies to a large amount of indie.

You've just answered your own question there.

People dont like Wavves for their textured, epic works of art, it's disposable, trashy and raw as - and thats why people like it. Whether their music is boring or not is just down to every individual listeners personal tastes i guess.

Using the word 'epic' to describe Wavves' music strikes me as quite funny (I won't get into 'textured' but I don't think it's an apt description either). How is it epic? If anything I thought they were going for anti-epic.

... did you actually read anything other than the first 5-10 words of my post? Im saying people dont listen to Wavves to be engulfed in a wave of texture and mood, they listen to Wavves because it's fun, disposable and in your face music. The abrasive, trashy nature of it appeals to certain listeners.

I read the whole thing. Although somehow I overlooked your 2nd word (don't) and I thought you were saying that people like Wavves because they find it epic and textured as well as abrasive and trashy. Oops
