In my opinion being pretentious is making music that you yourself don't enjoy and can't get behind. If you put out 20 minutes of tape hiss but you love the **** out of it it's not pretentious, if you write pop songs because that's what you like than fine. I don't think pretentiousness can be accurately measured from the listeners point of view.
Wow, I was going to post something exactly like that! I'm not a huge fan of the word 'pretentious' for those reasons. People misuse it.

This means I will show you good music at glasto and offer you a drink of kindness.
And hopefully you will respond to my kindness in the spirit I intend it!
Quel blagueur!

Je n'ai pas su que j'ai été entouré des francophones!


Translation: What a joker! I didn't know I was surrounded by French speakers.
