The Cars - Panorama

You know who else felt really conflicted? Ric Ocasek. The Cars was a magic awesome breakout, but after Candy O went platinum, the critics were like "you're just a vapid trendy pop band making awful emotionless new wave garbage," and Ric was like "screw you guys!"

They went from being a bar band nobody cared about to being the center of the universe to being told that they weren't living up to everyone's expectations.

What expectations? We're just a band. You like one thing we did and somehow it's our fault for tricking you into thinking we're awesome? Sounds to me like you guys are the ones who don't know what you want. We aren't beholden to any rock cliche, or pop standard, we're "alternative" in every sense. Cutting edge technology, shaking things up, living the confusing life. Wanna see how weird and creepy and sarcastic we can be?

Hello, 1980. Here's a Panorama of how bizarre this all is for us.
