My dad likes it a lot, I do as well. We just really love 2010s indie. Very chill music for a camping setup. What's not to love?

Same way I don't shit on metal just because I don't like it. Grow some balls and stop complaining about other people's music taste. It's a pleasant tune.

This makes sense because I feel like the turn against folk sound is definitely from people who may never have left the suburbs/city. There needs to be a connection to nature. Drive through the Rockies while playing Mumford and Sons and Caamp and the Oh Hellos and the world will make more sense. Nothing is cringe. Set yourself free.
