I thought that on first listening as well MtterOFctItsAllDrk but im pretty certain Sonic youth didn’t write this song during a period of self reflection, I somewhat pity the band on which it was actually based. Go the publicity though even though their band name isn’t in the song, I would feel honoured that sonic youth thought I was ‘important’ enough to base a song on, though I’m guessing they are probably unaware that they were the inspiration for the excellence that skip tracer is because the list bands that meet that description is endless (if your really concerned, it probably says which band somewhere on the big wide web try googling it) What an anthem for the indie kids ahah
Did I mention I love this song?
For those that still have no idea :they are asserting themselves as original NYC cool- taking the piss out of bands who try really hard to approximate what comes naturally to Sonic Youth.

Actually, I think he's being very sympathetic towards the band. He's just not being sentimental.
