It's pretty useless, man.

Nice try at redeeming yourself, but there is a very common thread of non-mainstream (i.e.
independently-minded) musical
artistry throughout all the references.
I'm sad you cannot understand.
Stereolab was a lesser mention. You should be able to infer as much from how I wrote about them. Your lack of reading comprehension is not a valid point with which to hold me liable.
Stereolab were not wholly original as I pointed out, but they had a highly original sound and enjoyed a degree of commercial success. (Sonic Youth are right there along with them as an influence on "indie" music today, but due to their longevity and use of alternate tunings.) Thus, they still exert overt influence on many of the "indie" artists of today, just in a lesser way than the Elephant 6 bands ('90s Athens scene) and Sup Pop bands ('90s Seattle scene) of yesteryear do.
