Why on earth shouldn't you like Red Box? Or Trip to Trumpton? Or Prefab Sprout?
If I were k-punk I might try and think something up about 'the other' and how we have internalised social voices in our head which say 'that's a bit lame' or 'only X sort of people like Y music' or 'you ought to be more cutting edge' or 'you ought to be more pop / less indie' or whatever. But I think for me it's more about setting wierd little rules for myself which I feel bad about breaking e.g. at some point I have said 'you should leave your comfort zone and try new things!'
[i.e. I would like to be an autonomous (setting the law for myself) rather than a heteronomous (receiving the law from outside) creature. Whether that's possible would have to remain in question i.e. can I tell when I am thinking for myself rather than doing something I've picked up from elsewhere? (Perhaps I can't, but I can try and prove it by insisting on it to myself, and feeling bad?)]
