Sometimes, I see pix of regular alts in a group setting who unintentionally/intentionally ‘look like they are in a band.’ I think that is a high complement about ur alternative credibility, and the ppl who u associate urself with. In the HRO Gimmick GROUPS OF FRIENDS WHO LOOK LIKE BANDS, u must generalize the group of friends, and guess what genre of music that they would play if they were a real band.
This group of friends look like they probably play music that sounds like
a) the beach boys
b) architecture in Helsinki
c) Sixpence None the Richer
d) The Veronicas
e) no wave
f) shoe gaze
g) lezbo core
h) lezb indie
i) female alts with tatties-core
j) no-wave post-fuzz music
k) beach punk fuzz revivalist
l) Lilith Fair artists
m) Jewel ft Dido (Meredith Brooks Remix)
n) Bjork
o) Lookbook Tween Superstar Band
p) Choose.Your.Own.Response
What kind of music would they make if they were a band, yall?

Their sound would chiefly be of dry humping to electro stomp.

it depends on what the chick with the glasses does:
if she’s the drummer, then they play lezb indie/fuzzpop
if she’s the lead singer, lesbo-core/post-mallpunk

Maybe ‘you’ should ‘make’ these people into a ‘band’ with your audience. Provided ‘you’ don’t think that would just make them inauthentic because they would be exposed to some entry lvls who are ‘reading’ HRO to become in touch with what is so ‘relevant’.

this band is called comet gain. i think they are a lil bit confused about relationships, and want to find tru love. i think they make meaningful tween picnic-core to play at a “brunch” w/polaroids that you should be having instead of eating at a place like applebees w/normal people. rlly think crls should start blogging from a picnic blanket, yall.

They’d probably be a missing link between Avril ‘nerd turned into a mnstrm punk chick’ Lavigne and Katy ‘a good chrst turned into a mnstrm half lesbian’. The music would probz be post-conscious post-post-ironic outsidercore indie.
