"...You know what they used to say about the Velvet Underground, how
not many people heard them but everyone who did went on to start a
band? Same thing with this record, except that it inspired everyone to
apply to an MFA program, grow a beard, put on one of those old-timey
hats, and pick up a mandolin. White people decided to keep it real,
you might say. All of a sudden, indie became less about rocking out,
fucking around, and having fun and more about caring about shit.

look at the past 20 years of U2..."
