The Pains of Being Part of a Subculture

"This new Slumberland band will be bracketed with other lo-fi/noise-pop peers, but they have songs that will appeal beyond the confines of subcultures: Anyone with a weakness for trebly, melancholy pop music will find a lot to like about this record."

Question - Who out side of a particular subculture (ie - the Pitchfork/hipster/elitist subculture) has "a weakness for trebly, melancholy pop music"? I think that if I went up to most anyone not sporting a tote-bag/a shirt about saving the environment and asked them, "Do you have a weakness for trebly, melancholy pop music?" They would look at me blankly/think that I am some kind of hipster scum.

Also - trebly? Really guys...trebly?
