KrankSodaPlenty of people like MBV (I'm not one of them) - obviously recordings like that are often poorly produced/mastered/etc but there's no need to be judgemental. Not sure why what's playing in the thumbnail is at all relevant.
Last picture also displays Flowers Grave by Tom Waits, I know many people who are very serious about their music that love him, myself included.
KrankSodaMbv isnt known for great mastering but I like it a lot and loud. Conversely, there are a lot of great recordings of people who sing out of tune and write horrible songs.
KrankSodaI guess someone doesn't share your opinion is why (it happens!). I've just recently started listening to MBV and there's beauty in the noise if you're willing to listen for it.
KrankSodaAudiophile denotes the quality of the sound produced not the music type listened to. For example someone who listens to Bach on a boom box is a lover of music not an "audiophile" someone who listens to Tom Waitts with a pair of McIntosh mono block tube amps, Krell preamp 100% oxygen free copper speaker wire and connectors through Martin Logan electrostatic hybrid speakers is an audiophile.
