You know, Sly, it's kind of irritating that you word your posts in a manner which, at least to me if not anyone else; feel like they have to defend themselves. This is the second time you've done this in one of my threads.
Do I appreciate these kinds of "artsy" things? Yes. Do I care whether or not you think it's "not cool" or "sappy" or any other euphemisms for "non-macho"? Absolutely not.
I like what I like and I am entertained not by "all of the artsy reasons people find to explain something quite simple." but rather by finding the profound in the mundane. It's just a theory, which I enjoyed researching.
If that doesn't interest you or hold your attention, why post in here other than for provocation?
Myabe you have nothing better to do with your time, I'm not sure.

Again, my personal theory on this was to avoid commercialism, which they later catered to and embraced. A thing to consider to support this theory:
Zoo Records, which was the label for both their wildly successful (and distributed, and promoted) album Undertow as well as their quiet, underpromoted, under-distributed album Opiate.
So, the whole "broke guys" thing doesn't hold, and that's not considering that they weren't kids starting a band but adults with (paying) careers.
