I agree with Boo said below and that is how I feel about most genres overall, that it is either fantastic, or overated, unbearable racket. But there are a few genres that I totally dismiss, and most of these are more popular ones today. I do understand the post, and I generally feel that way, but there is only a few exceptions of currents bands out today that I like that stops from me fully committing to make such an accusation as stated in the title of this thread.

I put Joy Division, The Cure, Wire, Gang of Four, Public Image Ltd and Killing Joke in the former, Ecco & The Bunneymen and Jesus and Mary Chain in the latter. I don't really have an opinion on The Fall. By far the worst band to ever come out of this movement though is The Raincoats, ...
Most post punk revivalism I've heard is absolutely rancid....

Yeah it's amazing to me too when people hate the genre I'm into, but when they hate the same thing I dislike then becomes amazing why they allow that crap to be made in the first place.
