This is real life. Somebody actually sat down at their computer, wrote that, read it, and thought "Yeah, that's good."

(((Arcade Fire)))
>Somebody actually sat down at their computer, wrote that, read it, and thought "Yeah, that's good."
That's not the problem actually, the fact is is published by a large website is the real problem.
rock is back
fuck off
yep. Anyone who believes Arcade Fire is some indie rock act is a fucking dope (pic very much related)
They could not be more correct in this article
that sounds like the kind of bait you'd see on Sup Forums
Fuck you, you piece of shit
Name a more important band then
Death Grips
serious replies please
yep. it's very obvious. PLANTS
Seems like the folks at the NY Post just learned about their existence. So they really did go mainstream.
>We may be leaving the age of the Album Artist. But Arcade Fire isn’t — yet.
god damn I fucking hate people so much reeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
>So they really did go mainstream.
they are a PLANT band. they were always ultra-industry.
their best album is still "indie" because it was released on an indie label
i agree the label is quite stupid.
those two statements are pretty much correct.
the present and foreseeable future is music streaming. albums make way less sense when your main platform is streaming websites
is there anything more tired than a group of privileged with leftists making indie rock?
death grips
you
yeah, sure. I totally buy it. Merge. Ok. Then he worked with the other great 'indie' DFA.

angry blacks making rap?
>Arcade Fire is the most important North American group making music today
They are a fucking leaf band.
The victim complex a lot of blacks have is getting so fucking old.
you're totally fooling us Schlomo.
This actually does feel fairly accurate. A bunch of middle aged white guys who previously were probably only marginally aware of the band heard of the new album coming out and wanted to be on top of the wave.
>oh man, that popular band apparently is going to release an album! we should do something!
>hey, jeff, you like music right?
>yeah, i listen to a little bit of everything!
>great! go write a review so we can reach the millennial readership.

Explain.
ITT: angsty teens who are upset that one of their favorite bands is now popular.
Don't bother. He got lost on the way to Sup Forums.
Nah, I never liked AF.
I just think the article is awful clickbait.
You're so slick shill.
Shut the fuck up, you paranoid schizophrenic.
>biting this hard on obvious bait
For fuck's sake, I think he's right.
someone took this to an editor, and they were like "yeah let's go with that."
This shit reads almost line an Onion article

Maybe there's a good god... Damn...
this
You do realize Canada is in North America right?
...
If it's released on a label, it's not indie.
When you put on a hat, do you consider it a part of your body?
When you put on your pants does someone need to help you?
>wearing pants
Enjoy having no pockets you fucking reatard
>being an angry, pants-wearing canadian
Motherfucker I am not sorry.
unironically an 8.9/10
I bet you think that Africa is a country
That's a cool picture but a very shitty album cover
i'm dying.
Afri-what?
Thanks for derailing the thread guys.
>Its lead single (the title track) has already hit No. 1 on the Billboard singles chart
why do people act like getting number one on the alternative chart is some huge accomplishment. any established indie band with hype and the machine behind it will get one.
Yeah, because we were previously having a serious conversation about the quality of the album and the merits of this journalist.
This was probably right ... in 2004
Wanna know how I know you're underage?
>indie
>from that up and coming columbia label
i misspoke i meant alternative/hipster
>implying anybody on Sup Forums is over 17
Nobody gives a shit, grandpa.
Hipster revival.
Oh shit. The print version is even better.
I want to believe whomever wrote this headline was having a laugh.
beats the shit out of reflektor...
>this pile of flaming garbage is better than that other pile of flaming garbage
