                    [Summary] => 

Musical trends return every 20 years, we know this. The ‘80s had us sentimental for The Wonder Years, the ‘90s had show bands reviving every horrible disco/senti/crossover song ever written, and the ‘00s saw the return of shoulder pads and synthesizers. As a ‘90s kid, I was eagerly awaiting its return this decade. I thought to myself, “OMG here we go grunge is gonna come back and everyone’s gonna sound like Sleater-Kinney and Pavement I’m so excited!”

A Radiohead album is the musical equivalent of Existential literature. Wait… That’s a pompous and pretentious way of putting it.
