That's what I thought back in '91 when I first started playing guitar, hence I didn't borrow heavily from either, even though I do enjoy their music and sounds, and even though I have a knack for playing that way if and when I want to do so.
But, as I can see now, that was a foolhardy decision, because, as it turns out, there's this whole genre of noise music now and plenty of imitators who borrow stylistically from Sonic Youth and Glenn Branca. Add to this that alternate tunings are now pretty much the norm. But the real kicker is, most of them suck balls, and the people in the bands in question aren't even very attractive or interesting to boot. Their lyrics, if they have any, are feeble.
So there's my sour grapes for the day.
Have a nice one.
