Hip indie bands that appeal to college kids are just as disposable as todays pop rock bands that appeal to teenagers. You can only play on a trend for so long before it dies out and subsequently, you do too. 

Good songs are forever, songs that transcend time. We need to stop worrying about how we dress and how people perceive us and get down to what music should be about, trying to write great songs and playing them well.
