Hold on to Your Genre Lyrics

Lyric discussion by leonperkin 

Cover art for Hold on to Your Genre lyrics by Les Savy Fav

to me it seems tim's talking about artists or people in general being faithful to their passion for music or life in general. People liking something or acting a certain way for popularity or reasons that arent geniune. Take all the ' the ' bands who've come on board lately, twisting their style to suit what's cool at the time.. the last 4 lines of this song are killers.
