That's not to say the genre does not have it's place: as used expertly in Dan Bells' youtube Dead Mall series. There is no better genre to better express 80/90's desperate materialistic over indulgence and cringe. Therefore when this music is used as the soundtrack to a man walking around a deserted and spacious failed relic of a mall it is perfect because the visuals mirror the shallowness of the music and capture failed capitalism. Ideal for the zoned out drug/alcohol inclined. Or Dawn of the Dead fanatics and/or weird cunts like me. But as a serious genre, feking avin' a laugh pal.
SURFING's Deep Fantasy LP was considered classic and aye it's catchy enough yet at the same time capable of leaving the listener with a sense of plagiaristic emptiness. Listening to their new one and they've made a big deal of ditching the samples and with it in turn seemingly ditched any character the biting may have brought. Underneath the samples they are just shite musicians.
