i know what you mean,it's the same here in croatia. but the people who know about them are mostly teenagers a few years younger than me.it's probably because they're more exposed in the media (teenage magazines) now that they're famous world wide. and since no one from my generation reads those things,they find them to be just another one of those popular teenage bands. it really frustrating trying to explain them the real value and even complexity of AM's music.
and another thing, i kinda get the feeling that most of the kids listening to AM here in croatia like them just because they're famous and they look "cool" if they listen to them.that kinda sucks. i hope it's just a feeling i have and not the truth.
