as a general principle sort of thing -
even the most bandwagon-jumping, mercenary-minded, shamelessly derivative track from 97/98/99/2000 has more spiritual-philosophical-ontological integrity (for want of a better word)
than
even the most scholarly, meticulous, well-informed and well-intended reproduction-antique effort from now
because the former are participating (even if exploitatively) in a real-time wave of innovation as it happens, rather than going back and trying to freezeframe that moment
you can get a buzz off a shoddy third-division tune from then, that you can't get from the most immaculate recreation
this principle applies to everything
the other garage revival (punk)
but also digi-dub, Detroit-venerators, you name it
