more and more i see the term "Relevant" being bandied around on forums, blogs and on pitchforkmedia by keyboard heroes in what can only be seen as poor attempts to either discredit (...are no longer relevant) or hype up a band (xxx are becoming increasingly relevant...). i say poor attempts because more often than not there is very little in an attempt to back up said claims
so what defines a bands relevance in the musical world, what styles/ideas/bands are relevant today and is it really important for a band to be "relevant"?
