A lot of Tiger's charm came from the fact that they were genuinely, obliviously unhip: their mullets and bad clothes made them seem like feral children to the condescending hipsters of the NME back in 1996. Now every new band dresses like them, but very few sound as good. Like I said, years ahead of their time.
