Most people see this as a classic, but to me it's just one hell of a ret*d "arty" whining cheese-fest.
For some reason, I got the impression that they try to make it sound "autistic" which I take as an offense.
Whatever.
You not liking it doesn't translate into it being "ret*d" or a "whining cheese-fest". I also have no idea what you're talking about saying it tries to sound "autistic". Austere is the word I'd use to describe most of that album and it has that theme of isolation, artificiality, and modernity about it. Yea, I get how the use of simple harsh sounding synthetic notes and beats doesn't appeal to everyone, but I like the rhythm. As for Thom Yorke's voice you can either take it or leave it I suppose. I can understand how it grates on some people but I appreciate it for it's weirdness.
As for the genre, I don't think it really belongs to any but I think "trip-hop" (groups like Tricky, Massive Attack, Portishead, etc...) would be the closest match for this particular song.
