Black Francis has literally stolen D Boon's look.

One could create an equally convincing argument that Nirvana borrowed from the Minutemen and bands from the same era just like some argue that Kurt took from the Pixies.

I agree some ppl give them too much credit, saying they invented the loud quiet loud formula for exmpl is bullsht but i don't get how you despite knowing all that still have this reactionary hate that frankly with your knowledge of music seems beneath you. The pixies are not the only band with an over hyped status, do you hate every artist who's fanbase over hype by giving them too much credit?

Im not saying you have to like the pixies, i have a friend who dislikes black francis because he thinks he's sorta of an ******* personality wise and his music i guess just doesn't do anything for him which i can understand but i don't understand why you have to justify this stand thru this contrarian hipster stand of popularity and originality

Plus WTF do the Minutemen have to do with it?

They’re a great band. I recommend checking them out. But besides that it was very baffling.
