“Throughout the course of history, numerous works of art have stood at the forefront of their respective genres. British indie band My Bloody Valentine’s Loveless is one such work. Their unique sound on the album defined a sub-genre of indie rock known as shoegaze. This thesis is the first major academic study of My Bloody Valentine and their decisive presentation of shoegazer aesthetics: Loveless…The essential objective of this thesis is to justify My Bloody Valentine as one of the most important bands in music history.”

— A Master’s Thesis on My Bloody Valentine’s Loveless

I think this would have been a bit more persuasive:  ”Throughout the course of history, numerous records have stood at the forefront of the makeout record genre. British indie band My Bloody Valentine’s Loveless is one such work.”

Makeout record genre. Indeed.

I can’t think of any genre-defining, seminal record that would be more unpleasant and boring to study/play for months on end than Loveless. Every second is overrated.
