Yes, but first they were "attemptuous". They were actually making the effort to make something of value. As more bands found that a miss good be as good as a hit without all the work, it got very "pretentious" in a Spinal Tap kind of way. Out of reaction, Punk and New Wave became the pride of being, well, lets just say "unpolished". Perhaps looped displacement might be more accurate since it is being tiled. Yes, why not?
