Although I'm not too familiar with what's going on over there, I take it that they don't have a lot of the nameless, indistinguishable active rock stuff that we have over here. Their radio stations, I guess, and the record companies that follow their lead, have different tastes. I hadn't heard of most of the bands that they mentioned. Why don't they just come up with a name for the type of music they're bored with? If it all sounds the same, it should be easy to categorize. I think that they might be talking about what we call "hipster" here. That’s an article about the British music scene.

Let people express themselves creatively. To belive this site if you don't sell a million records you're a fucking loser. That's bullshit. Let people listen to what they want to listen to. The more variety the better. Who cares how many records you sell? Let people express themselves creatively. To belive this site if you don’t sell a million records you’re a fucking loser.
