created/molded/ owned by whatever label gives them their first big advance
forgettable
cowards
very uptight and taking themselves too seriously
forcing out absolute crap material at too high a rate for anything really good to come out
hyped too soon
making the same type of sound
trying to look extra pretty, or extra dangerous and tough
wrapped up in their own shit
negative nowadays
devoid of real content
wasting their time
being promoted
prepared to jump through hoops like performing monkeys
literally shoved down a fan's throat
stuck in a guitars only mindset, which I find kind of sad
trying to prove their ‘true metal’ credentials, when there’s no need to prove anything
pulled to the dark side of money and fame
too dark and mys-terious
too worried about sounding ‘commercial'
straying from what should be called hardcore and yet it is still being called hardcore
blending
following trends in this genre and trying to imitate one another
sitting around waiting for the World to discover their music
using booking agents and managers
out there without professional Austin musician photographs
too worried about staying true to the underground
still stuck trying to copy old bands
dominated by the lead talker (and there is no way Big G, for example, is going to let the musicians go national)
appearing in the market with the supposed Indie label
poorer versions of what’s already in the charts or what people have heard before
becoming mainstream (and giving "Ska" the wrong name[!])
going out of their way trying to be overly original
Peter Pans
playing genuinely interesting (although not always unique) music
doing what you're doing
