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.

The amount of time someone puts into a piece of art isn't really the deciding factor in how good it is though. It would be kind of nice if simple hard work was what made a song good or bad but really the final product is what matters most. Sometimes a great final product is the result of lots of hard work but sometimes it's just very off the cuff thing.
