I just don't get the hoopla for that band. I swear, I tried to like them individually, then collectively, but just can't get into any of it.
And though I've come to appreciate the Strokes, I still can't get into Arcade Fire, the White Stripes, or the Hives.
Boygenius definitely captures something in the zeitgeist and I think they appeal to you and empower you ‘as needed.’
Did you ever see White Stripes, Arcade Fire or Hives live?

No, yes and no.
Hives are one of the best live acts I've seen. Sound and show are always tight and enthusiastic. Can't say I listen to their recorded stuff that much, it's good and punchy, but nothing like their live show

Glad they remembered Ryuichi Sakamoto even if he had to die to make it on.

Any best of 2023 list that doesn't include The Hives - "The Death Of Randy Fitzsimmons" is bunk
and I'm sad to agree Olivia Rodrigo's GUTS is one of the best of the year too
I have heard so few of those albums or the artists on that list, will have to do some homework
Fee things
1. Been listening to TDORF and god damn does this album rock. First listen didn’t really grab me, but now in heavy rotation
2. While I love the VBoys, I alway hang my head in shame about this comment. Technically Cave World came out with a Deluxe edition in 2023, the album came out in 2022
3. Hot take you didn’t want or expect
Olivia >Taylor. I’ve been subjected to about 4ish hours a week listening to my 14 year olds selections which lean very heavily on TS and OR (as well as Eminem?!?) and without out a doubt the songs I unintentionally find my self digging are always OR and almost never TS
