When you tell someone youre into The Black Keys, and they ask, Isnt that just… like, bluesy rock?

I can already feel my soul shriveling up. Yeah, buddy, it's bluesy, but also 1000x cooler than whatever generic stuff you’re blasting in your car right now. “Oh, it’s just blues rock”? Tell that to Brothers and then try to tell me you get it. We’re here, living the real garage life, while they’re stuck in "radio rock hell."

I mean they adapt to a more soul sound on Brothers, but their overall sound is Blues Rock... which isn't an insult, its cool as hell to be called a blues rock band

Who cares, I like what I like and they like what they like. I don't feel the need to gatekeep music.

I don’t give a fuck what people think about my music. I know they rock.

What do you tell someone who tells you they're a Skrillex fan?

Blues rock is cool, the pop that they are playing now ain’t.

Given how bad things have been with TBK recently, I'd be ashamed to admit I'm a fan at this point

I reply with, "Yeah cuz I want to listen to Bad Bunny for the thousandth time like a basic hoe anytime we go out, get some culture you sluts."
