When that band becomes popular, sometimes it feels like a bunch of fat american families are rolling in and setting up souvenir booths and making all kinds of noise and garbage and you can't see the view and someone's trying to sell you a tour.
I'm definitely wrong about this. But possibly not often if there's a chance I'm right.

Heh. That's really weird, I used to use almost this exact same metaphor to describe my feelings about bands I liked becoming popular, minus ascribing a particular nationality to the intruders.
