There was never anything cool about these guys when they were around - do you even know who the fuck they are - probably not, unless you lived in S.F. in the Nineties & were into house parties, small shows at venues at warehouses, smoking speed, etc.
The fucking bands that come out of here these days are so fucking ball-less / so fucking "not scary" / so fucking not original - of course there are a few exceptions - but for the most part, this town has become obsessed with sissy-haired white boys in women's jeans jumping about playing crappy pop-influenced BULLSHIT.
- Fuck your fixed-gear bike.
- Fuck your "weird beard".
- Fuck your coffee shop.
- Fuck your "skinny jeans".
- Fuck your "fully sleeved overnight" trendy tattoos.
- Fuck you fat "girlfriend" with the big sunglasses.
(The Icky Boyfriends were never appreciated when they were around - they still aren't - but they were fucking genius back in the days before the internet ruined everything that was cool. One of a kind band, really, but you won't get it)…

You can add Portland to that list--we have a handful of cutting edge bands, but way too much of the "you're wearing everything in the world/multi culture clothes" in the world. Jesus fuck.
