Bingo.
Besides, when people talk about bands being "pretentious", they very rarely mean that in the sense of not "feeling" their music! The sense of "pretentious" generally intended when bands are labeled as such, is that the band assume a (usually high) degree of self-importance and dignity.
And that doesn't make a band bad, either; it just makes them a bunch of pretentious *#@%s.
