In part, ugly muddy production caused by the cumulative results of clinging to a digital facsimile of a warm analogue rock sound + early streaming era mastering stripping the tonality and the energy out of a lot of post-2006 releases (and the loudness war was already making things shittier before that) and making the songs sound more same-y than they already were. By the time it got round to the second wave of b-listers like Pigeon Detectives, landfill indie was like a miniature british precursor to our current global slop era. Contrast with Dan Carey's work on Schlagenheim

americans did it better like usual, but they redeemed themselves with the electronic music scene around the time

Doherty had the potential to be the next Morrissey. He was just a burnout. I guess most of them were.

Nobody sounded like Pete Doherty exactly. Not American. It's too Brit specific. He comes from a long line of shitfaced pub singing + troubador traditions or something. I don't know. He just went too hard on the shitfaced bit.

Amazing Doherty managed to stay alive. Up the Bracket is stil a 2000s classic in my mind and much better than lots of 00s garage rock

The NME's cycle of building up a bunch of nobodies only to immediately tear them down wrecked a lot of bands that could've potentially become interesting had they more time to develop under the radar.
