The success of Badly Drawn Boy in the early 2000s
was entirely down to every single Radio 1 DJ being afraid to stand up and say "Hang on... this is SHIT" in case everyone else (who also secretly thought exactly the same) mocked them for not being sufficiently down with the kids.

I believe this because there is literally no other possible explanation for why anyone would ever willingly listen to that shit.

All sorts of dreary shite was being tolerated around that time
That's why everyone latched onto The Strokes when they first appeared - by comparison, they were fucking amazing.

Oh yeah, you heard everything you needed to hear from them on that first EP
To be fair to them though, I think there were three songs on it.

Kids today - no respect.
