Why Arcade Fire is the most important band in North America

>>74208874
(((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.

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 /mu/

>>74208922
Fuck you, you piece of shit

Name a more important band then

>>74209023
Death Grips

>>74209036
serious replies please

>>74208941
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

>>74209084
>So they really did go mainstream.
they are a PLANT band. they were always ultra-industry.

>>74208941
their best album is still "indie" because it was released on an indie label
i agree the label is quite stupid.

>>74209093
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?

angry blacks making rap?

>Arcade Fire is the most important North American group making music today
They are a fucking leaf band.

>>74209153
The victim complex a lot of blacks have is getting so fucking old.

>>74209180
you're totally fooling us Schlomo.

>>74209084
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.

Don't bother. He got lost on the way to /pol/.

Nah, I never liked AF.
I just think the article is awful clickbait.

For fuck's sake, I think he's right.

If it's released on a label, it's not indie.

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.

>>74210153
Yeah, because we were previously having a serious conversation about the quality of the album and the merits of this journalist.

>>74208874
This was probably right ... in 2004
