Why Can't You Just "Be"?

Every band in this town is on a mission to be something.
"They're trying to be classic rock"
"They're trying to be Black Heart Procession"
"They're trying to be bluegrass Johnny Cash"
"They're trying to be hipster metal"
"They're trying to be Phish"
"They're trying to be black metal"
"They're trying to be a Beatles tribute band"
"They're trying to be annoying turds"

Try this:
BE YOURSELF.

I'm so tired of all this poser bullshit. Can't you think for yourself?
Why can't you try to just be a band? Like, a band that hasn't already done that shit that you're doing now?
Oh, that's right. cause the peeps are eatin it up! You remind them of that one band!
Quick, everyone! Come here! These fellas have figured out how to sound like that most popular band on the underground scene at the moment! Quick, get in on this! You could say you knew them when they were pretending to sound like (insert name of trendy haircut band here)!! Hurry, before they break up and reform as (insert trendy skinny-tie-wearing-band here)!!

It's like the same 5 dudes in this town keep reforming a band that will rip off the latest underground music trend. I'm so over it. Not that I was ever under it...
First it was the cock rock phase...
then doom rock...
then break up to reform a "classic rock emo" band...
then, alert the Argus! we're now a techno/jam/salsa/texmex band!
BUY MY NEW RECORD!

FUCK YOU BUDDY!!

eat sleep. sell out this.
