I like simplicity.
I just find that a lot of punk and indie takes the concept a little too far.
I can't find much admiration in bands who write one chord riff songs that I could have written myself without even trying. It's like a lot of punk and indie bands just crap stuff out.
And when Pitchfork makes them out to be masterpieces while writing off musicians who actually DO spend the time to polish and structure their music as pretentious wankery, well it just makes me mad, it's an insult to real musicians.
If anything, it's the other way around.
