most people here in mexico, when i tell them i like sonic youth they go "so, how's the new foo fighters album? pearl jam must be your favorite band!!!". i once showed my noise band to a friend and mentioned i was a bit influenced by sonic youth and when he heard the stuff i recorded he said "i thought it was going to sound like grunge!"
there's nothing wrong with liking those bands, at all, but i just think it's very closed minded and short sighted to still be in awe of bands from the late 80's/early 90's that mostly aped music from the 60's and 70's.
i've never attached myself to a single current or music genre; even when i was like 13 or 14 and into metal with long hair and everything, i still wore ripped jeans and flannel shirts and listened to punk and "grunge" and, a little later on, electronica. i just don't understand how people can do it.
i did and still do, however, get into phases were a get deeply into a certain sound and certain bands and want to explore more of the same while not giving anything i already like and listen to up. i go thru the phase, get every bit of information, a bunch of music from different artists and just dig it as much as i can until i'm ready to listen to something else.
