Especially, when people say things like "lo-fi" as a genre, which it is not.
It is a genre. See, here's its entry on allmusic:

Most if not all of the bands you listed recorded their albums in studios, which by definition is not low fidelity.
Well, I think you can record in a studio and still be lo-fi. Hell, the Rolling Stones recorded Exile in Main Street in a villa, it doesn't make it lo fi because they didn't record in a studio. It's the aesthetic which is important. Notably the four-track minimalism that marks lo fi. Things which are incredibly analog.
I'm also not sure why Cloud Nothings wouldn't qualify, as they are a "bedroom band" in the same vein as Wacahatchee. But whatever, I'm not too interested in labelling wars. If they aren't pure enough for you, then ok, I guess. No skin off my nose.
Jay Reatard is also dead, so he didn't put out an album this year.

You say you don't connect with the newer stuff yet you post a list of the "best albums of 2012".
Well, it's everyone's compiled ballot. And I said I don't connect with "modern hardcore", not that I don't connect with new music. My own ballot had the Evens as #2, and I was the only one who voted for it. Is that lo fi enough? Does that meet your definition of purity?
It's not "my" list. It's the board's. A consensus list will always, by neccesity, skew conservative. Odd ball choices don't get many votes and won't achieve consensus. Which is why I posted all of the albums that received a vote, to give credit to everyone's opinions.
No, I don't much like twee. No, I don't listen to the radio much. I have no idea if stuff I like gets played a lot because, well, I don't listen to a lot of radio to know. Maybe it does. Maybe it doesn't. Neither one would bother me much. I stopped trying to be cool 15 years ago.

Doesn't know what low fidelity is, doesn't like twee, thinks Cloud Nothings is in the same ball park as Fugazi, listens to new music but not all new music (because his ears can't handle it?), thinks Jay Reatard isn't relevant because he is dead, etc, etc, etc.
Why in the hell should anyone take your advice about music?
Oh and thanks for explaining to me how the list works, because my original comment didn't say "everyone" right? Remember you are the one who responded...
