Pavement were existing in a world where it was dominated by rock bands obsessed with success. They were not grunge and they were not metal, they were lo-fi indie. Which proved incredibly influential not just in their time, but later in time. They were laying the style and approach for many bands to come, and it prove pivotal in the emergence of a lo-fi scene out of California headed by Ariel Pink. In lo-fi there is a sense of harking back to the past, and a sense of doing things how they were meant to be done, an antique style like the 70s, before MTV and in a way that was meritable and pure. Not overdone like the toxic music being released in the 90s.
