Welcome to the most overrated, yet somehow still marginally popular music genre of all time. We're talkin' acoustic guitars, fixie jeans, and a dash of pseudo-intellectualism. Because, you know, that's what the cool kids are into.
Indie Rock: For when you want to sound like you're playing the same 5 chords over and over again, but with a prettier voice.
We've got some actual talent here. Or, at least, some talented poseur-ists.
Don't get too excited, though. These guys are actually from 1990s college campuses.
Now we've got the likes of Vampire Weekend and Arcade Fire, because, of course, you can't just have good music without some Ivy League elitism.
