Stylus makes a good case for Sonic Youth's "Dirty" and mentions that "Hipsters HATE this album", which may or may not be true. I loved SY before Dirty and liked the album when it came out but when I look back on everything, I realize this was the point where I began to loose interest, although I know it got a good year's worth of CD-player time in my first away-from-the-parents apartment. Now when I return to it, the only song that really holds interest is "JC," because I still, to this day, don't know what the lyrics are about, but they conjure something forest-y, something gun-metal grey, something red, something wrong.
