I think in the world of indie music there's this sort of false modesty.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Some are blessed with musical ability, others with good looks. Myself, I was blessed with modesty.
The thing I hate most is false modesty. The artists who are, like, 'Oh, you know, I'm really not that good. Oh, I can't believe I'm here.' I find it vaguely sinister, even.
There's a certain type of indie fan who would balk at the prospect of there being value in pop music, but I think that's foolish. They're not really listening.
I'm not so interested in being indie just for the sake of being indie.
I have no concept of modesty anymore.
Modesty is a vastly overrated virtue.
As for style, there is something about the way musicians dress-they seem to be able to create their own world within their fashion alone.
A just and reasonable modesty does not only recommend eloquence, but sets off every great talent which a man can be possessed of.
Everyone looks to an artist for something more than just the music, and that message of being comfortable in my own skin is number one for me.
Modesty is the conscience of the body.
