It has nothing to do with "hipsters"...
I grew up on a lot of that stuff, which means it has sentimental value to me. Reminds me of people, places, and times gone.
And per usual, Down's an idiot. I have over 1100 songs on my phone, ranging from Pantera to Emmylou Harris to New Order to Prince to Sinatra.
Down's the type that looks at music mechanically...what he considers to be the best craftsmen produce the best stuff. It's what assholes do.
Music is about feeling, not craftsmanship. Time, place, and feeling have everything to do with what makes music special to different people. A lot of luck is involved in that too.
If it was so simple to produce shit that people enjoy, we'd all be doing it.
