Are we talking about the album itself, or the people who generally tend to like it? I mean, as far as I'm concerned, Manners is just another indie pop album. The whole nature of the genre falls a little to the pretentious side because of its fans (although that's a generalization if I ever saw one), but it doesn't stand out to me as being any more or less up in itself about its "craft" than any of its contemporaries.
For the record, I'm also not trying to be a "too deep for you" contrarian. I just feel like Manners had too many hooks and palatable melodies to really be considered genuine "arty sh*t".
