i think SY was like that for me. i had never heard anything like it, then i did. Sy are still amazing, but they are not as original as people think theyu are. i think thats why people always say that my band sounds like SY, because thats their only frame of reference, and not the more obscure or less known bands that we listen to.

Well, be fair, you're posting on a Sonic Youth board right now. Chances are you are a pretty serious fan, and so the influence is rather inevitable. You also play in a guitar band that plays noisy tonal music, so the comparison would be inevitable even if you claimed to hate SY. They are certainly the world's frame of reference for that type of sound, as they have popularized it more than anyone else.
