I like how this article satirises the shallow and hypocritical attitudes of what I like to term "obscurity conformists" - people who pretend to only like unpopular things, simply for the sake of credibility. It's just as superficial [if not even more so] as people who refuse to listen to anything that isn't totally mainstream and popular.
Just like what you bloody well like - no matter whether 12 people have heard of them, or 12,000,000. You're the one who's listening at the end of the day.
