Besides, i'd certainly say that someone like Avril Lavigne is FAR better at what she does, than a band like, say, Blonde Redhead are at what THEY do.

The irony bit is not as annoying as the sincerity side of things. Listening to indie, blah blah blah music for years has kind of made me quite distrustful of a lot of people who have some sort of similar taste as mine. From disliking continuous irony in music, I can safely say now that I rarely trust many people when they claim to be so much into music altogether. Indie music divides people more than it unites them, I think. Oh well, whatever, dinner's ready.
