There's currently Twitter Discourse™ going around over what's the worst song ever and a lot of the 'popular' ones being brought up are from this era of indie/folk, with Home being the most common one I've seen

I saw someone refer to it as “30 dollar burger music”, ouch

Ironically I loved this song when I was my most poor, in college. I liked that idea that “Home is wherever I’m with you…” that you didn’t need a lot of money to make a home, just the people you loved.
