I think NMH is one of those bands whose legend has grown in whispers and nudges between other like-minded music nerds. They haven never been very ‘big’ except with the people who run the music blogs/mags, etc.

AND I loathe the word sellout. I think it’s a term only used by people who are either in their early 20s or someone who has never created anything for no money.

Finally, I had to stop taking those quizzes when I got Billy Corgan after multiple attempts to get anyone but Billy Corgan. I hate that guy.

I’ve probably heard NMH, right?, but I have no idea who they are, so clearly they’re not my band either, but I like your talk on generational music snobbery. This came up this week when all my friends on the Facebook were taking the “which punk are you quiz” on buzzfeed. Now, I’m too young for first-wave punk, because I was five (five!) in ’77, so I know the youngster who told us we were all sellouts for taking the quiz was too young (I.e., not born [not born!]). I told him his comments WERE the quiz, and he got Jello Biafra.
