I was unaware that the classification had to be positive.

"type of music" and "your opinion/eview" are entirely different questions
my answer: i'd classify The Pixies as "a group I've never heard of"

allmusic classifies them as college rock or alternative rock. i'm hesitant to describe them to people as college rock, because these days that makes me think of stuff like dave matthews. post-punk is a fairly good one. pre-grunge alternative is another one i think is fairly accurate.
a good way to give people an idea of what they sound like is to mention that the song at the end of fight club is a pixies song. most people who think they haven't heard the pixies have seen fight club and will remember that song. just a thought if you're ever trying to describe them to someone again.
