I agree, I was just trying to make the point that a lot of these tunes are well bellow standard, but are popular because there's nothing new of quality. When you are involved in a scene that you passionately love, you get very insular. Once you leave that scene you hear things from a more realistic perspective.
However, I must also admit that if I heard some of these tunes played out, I may grow to like them.
But I doubt it somehow.
