With Radiohead, success was gradual. However, when everyone and their dog started name-dropping the band, when asked about the music that they enjoy, it became woefully clichéd. Did I stop listening to The Bends? Nope, but I wasn't going to sound like a bandwagon jumper either.

So you are a "true individualist" who doesn't care what anyone thinks as long as you can posture as non-conformist but when something could make you look more normal/mainstream etc. you suddenly care a lot? Fascinating.
