When you're really into a c-tier band, it feels like you have a personal connection and it's your thing. Saying your favorite band is an s-tier band is like being a stan for Wal-Mart. I found my old iPod Nano recently and it goes really far down the iceberg. Me Vs Hero, Chunk No Captain Chunk, etc. There was this band that only ever got popular in the Long Island bringer show scene called This Condition (yes they sound like Jack's Mannequin minus the piano) that I'm still sad never got more exposure.

Then later on they matured into a more alternative sound with “forget and not slow down” and “air for free” which are personally my favorite two albums by them.
