"I mean, garage, it's even more depressing than whatever punk has become because punk can mean anything from Pennywise or baggy-pants Warped Tour garbage to the bands that are actually great. At least there's some variety. Garage is where punk rockers go to be even more close-minded. Pretty quickly, I had more contempt for garage people than I did the rest of the world, so I wanted to do something to get away from it…somehow, it's so easy to get stuck in that rut." -- Jay Reatard, 2009. (bolding is mine)

I'm deeply hurt you think Modest Mouse, the Archers, Pavement, Yo La Tengo, Neutral Milk Hotel, etc. are horrible. It will definitely keep me up tonight.

Clearly you know nothing about Garage Rock or what Jay Reatard even meant by saying that. He said that because his music blew everything that was considered Garage Rock at the time out of the water. And that was in 2009 after he started turning more towards an indy pop phase.

And when I was 18 I loved Modest Mouse, Pavement, and almost everything that came out of the Elephant 6 collaboration. I still respect the hell out of those bands (btw if you are trying to say Neutral Milk Hotel is the best band that came out of Elephant Six you would be wrong, Beulah was much better).
