Dave Matthews Band (
DMB) is the muzak soundtrack of the yuppie (and proto-yuppie)
class's lifestyle.
DMB exists to provide "
chill time" and a false sense of third-world
earthiness (he's like, white, but African, yanno?) between Economics papers and/or Marketing Team meetings.
DMB is carefully formulated to be well-played and intricately composed while guaranteeing not to significantly challenge its listeners' musical expectations, social viewpoints, and hazy comfort beyond pot-laced commentary like ". . .man. . .that solo is fucking GENIUS!"
In short, DMB is the Kenny G of the Bonnaroo generation.
I was crazy stressed from my
Econ test already, then my dad called to tell me my
mutual fund was down. Bullshit! So I packed a bowl and slipped on some
DMB to, y'know, chillax.
