If the current trend is rammed down our throats from all angles of the media and people who play in local bands happen to like the latest trends and fashion, then surely that's gonna rub off and that's why they end up playing what they do?
It seems only the lucky few who've been on the go for a while since the last trend started and still playing the same music once the current trend has passed do they get any credit for not following the scene.
Who really cares though?! It's apparent quite alot of people do. People play in bands cos they want to and cos for them, it's fun! Regardless of whether it fits with what's cool in NME or is appearing on the latest edition of Kerrang, these people are enjoying themselves.
Music is about fun, so let them have their fun in the way they enjoy!
