#obviously I love the early 2000s new jersey post-hardcore scene but that’s a completely different thing

had a conversation with @home-made-dynamite that made me realize that the NYC indie rock/avant-garde music scene has never held the slightest interest for me. Talking Heads? no. Sonic Youth? tried but no. Yeah Yeah Yeahs? definitely not. The Strokes? good lord no. The Velvet Underground? lots of respect for them aesthetically and for their influence, but still generally a no as part of my actual listening habits :/
