Not one element of their music is inspiring.

Take "Helena Beat" for example, it is sort of catchy, and has a few electronic elements thrown in, regular indie rock and watered down psychedelia. It ticks a lot of boxes that fans of pretty standard bands will like.
I'm not trying for any gotcha questions here, but I'd like to know (again) where you're coming from. Could you give me an example of "standard bands?" (as referenced in the bolded quote)
