Facebook is a tool where people talk about life, and other people read about their lives', then other people comment, and u feel like u have friends on the internet who care about u and want to get to know about u and what u like so sometimes u can go out with them in real life and take pix them post them and tag them, then other people will see those pix and will be like, 'o kewl they must be friends. saw them tagged 2gether in a few photos and blowing up my minifeed with wall2walls.'
Anyways, facebook is also a place where mainstreamers talk about indie buzzbands. Due to social networking buzz, tons of previously undiscovered buzzbands are getting 'tons of coverage.' Here is another example of some mainstreamers talking about the 'totally indie' band Phoenix
It seems like mainstreamer #1 found out about Phoenix from MTV.
then mainstreamer #2 was like 'nah bro, heard about them on the OC [via California here come]'
then mainstreamer #1 was like 'oh i feel rlly mainstream. do u know any other good bands'
then mainstreamer #2 got in a time machine and said 'the shins and modest mouse kill it.'
then an altstreamer comes out of nowhere and is like 'YALL ARE FUCKING MAINSTREAMERS.'
finally, every1 simultaneously said 'we luv indie rawk.'
Do yall talk about buzzbands on facebook?
Have u picked up sweet recommendations from facebook?
Whenever a buzzband releases a new mp3 do you 'share' that shit to look cool?
Have you seen any mainstreamers talking about buzzbands on facebook?
Do u get pissed when mainstreamers find out about indie buzzbands?
Is Phoenix the ultimate modern mainstream indie band?
Phoenix is a French pop band that has been around for a decade but went rlly mainstream after their album "Wolfgang Amadeus" was s0 p0ppy that no1 could h8 it.
Comments

Bahahha, 'then an altstreamer comes out of nowhere and is like ‘YALL ARE FUCKING MAINSTREAMERS' ; soooo good haha.
No one ever replies on facebook ;/
@LCF, that's cuz facebook sux
@Lady Bro Bro, true ass true
@LCF, maybe because your "friends" aren't really your friends!
I knew they went mainstream when Lollapalooza made them headline. Arcade Fire is next if not there already.
@Lady Bro Bro, arcadia fires have been mnstrm since 2k5 get with it ya dingus
Love that 'that one band that were pretty good on the O.C.' is in her top 3 bands.
@trife, haha i know, where does the favorites list go after Phoenix?
4) my chemical romance - haven't heard them b4, but their shirts look cool.
5) the killers - not sure if they're a band or a movie, but they are probably good at whatever they do.
6) the MGMTs - they killed my brother and i hate them.
@wes branderson,
@iris was a pupil, awesome bro!
was ready 2 "shit all over" this post 4 "being a tired meme," but then it was awesome so i couldn't. i post "sick mp3s" 4 stattyupdates, but only 1 of my bros "likes" them (albeit consistently)
@brory, i bet i would like ur mp3 statuses, bro
@rivers broumo, "2 kind," thx bro! have 2 many mnstrm not enuff alt friends
@brory, feel u. if i get another 'omg cant believe other ppl know about the hold steadys' i will quit the interwebs altogether. keep fightin the good fight tho bro, someday the alts will make social networking meaningful again.
@brory, i feel ya bro. h8 having mnstrm friends. just posted some panda bear the other day and no one even liked it.... s0000 mnstrm of them.
@chillwavvin, I hear you bro. Pisses me off when I tell my lame azz mainstream friends who I'm listening too, and they're like "are they on MTV? Are they like Mraz? What's chillwave?" Zomg how can someone kewl have such shite taste?
@brory, I mp3 statty update all the time and get 1 or 2 likes. h8 all my fb 'friends' just want 2 b 'understood' (via more alt friends)
post this one again, carles. me and my friend justin are trying to get first.
what a sweet top 3 she has!!! think i might try & find some of those bands on limewire! but here's my current top 3:
1) interpol
2) elliot smith
3) sonic youth
ya'll post ur fav bands that r 'hot' rite now!!!!
@knocksersaurus, h8 u, <3 sy
@knocksersaurus, I <3 the elliot smiths. Can't wait till they go on tour. I thought I was the only person who had heard of them.
Have you ever heard of the REMs?
@knocksersaurus, u 4got barenekkid lady [via it's been 1week since u look at me]
@knocksersaurus,
Smash Mouth because hey bro you're on an alt--star who should probs be walk'n' on the sun.
@knocksersaurus, Just heard of this new band called the nirvanas. It's kinda 'grungey' but i think you'll like it.
ugh, phoenix. what a load of overrated shit. HI, WE'RE HERE AND OUR GUY CAN'T SING.
Can Bebe Zeva stop posting screenshots of her regular-ass friends from vegas?
@John Locke, WH@T C@N i $@Y, i'M @ TR3ND$3TT3R
reading things like this literally make me want 2 project vomit.
alt life has left me with no 'mnstrm compass' hard 2 find a direction in this world...
@Conor Broberst, who are you bro?
Not me.
@Conor Broberst, when ppl fight 4 the trendy names. I know this is not the place 4 me. Good day sir(e)
the only person I can relate to in this thread is the 'old news' bro
feel like that's a bro i can get down w/ and drink some beers.
we can chat about buzzbands and crls. a bro who's not afraid to call his mnstrm friends out on their bullshit and embarrass them on their own wall. tru bro
its kinda funny because the only time I told anyone about a band on FB is when I sent my friend a video of one of phoenix's takeaway shows in paris... and I was very surprised that he had never heard of them and now he is all up on their balls.
I heard this new band Grizzly Bear in a commercial they were alright.
top 3 right now
1. Passion Pit [via cadillac]
2. Edward Sharpe [via some random comm]
3. Grizzly Bear [ they killed it on that one comm]
@Bros'r'us,
girl talk is 'fuckin sick'
@generk witty cmmnt,
yea he is alright, I heard him in season 3 of the hills.
This is stupid, Pho-en-ix has been mainstremin' longer then fishes have been pissin' in streams. They're a decent mainstream band but don't pretend they're indie. My three favs that's hot right now:
1. 3rd Eye astigmatism
2. Kings of Deion Sander (they released their first album last year).
3. And any band that plays on the Today Show's summer concert series
Cuurrent top 3
1. sugar rays
2. lead zeppelin
3. wavves {via mtn dews and the green team label}
alt report and hipsterrunoff sure seems to be fixated on the mainstream as of late. where's the alt at?
luv how the person with the Daft Punk default is all 'lol old news, mnstrmz'
@tw33nsc3n3riot, bro, they're coming out w/ Tron Runner movie soundtrack album score. Gonna be pretty relevant soon. Seems like bro is AHEAD of the news.
have yall heard of this new band 'vampire weekend'... i think i might try to see their show, after hearing them on the twilight soundtrack
rly h8 the kalis fleshtone ad that pops up in front of my screen every time i change the page
i'm sorry gang, but "then m.s.2 got in a time machine & said 'mm + the shins fucking kill it'" fucking kills it (on fallon). srsly keep loling hard @ u, sentence
I know Phoenix so I know Phoenix were on 'The O.C.' season 2 in like 2K4/5. So if the Facebook bro saw it '2 years ago' [via 2K8] he must be @ least ~3-4 years behind on indie culture, which means in his universe artists/concepts like Panda Bear, chill wave, and HRO don't even/barely 'exist'. In his world, we're all 'listening' 2 J-New's Ys & Sufjan's Illinois. Man, in his world, we're soooo pathetic.
@Hey That's My Shoe, Bro, took the words right out of my mouth [via fingers cause we're all typing yall.]
@Hey That's My Shoe, I was rockin' Phoenix "United" back in 2000, Napster stylo. So chill, bro.
Ya'll ever heard of Pavement?
@Nabroleon Bronaparte,
Totally. I know Pavement were a 'seminal' 90s indie band, bro. I 'know my sh_t' bro. I also know all Phoenix fans either found them via Seth Cohen on The O.C. in 2K4 or via Scarlett Johannson on Lost In Translations in 2K_. If u 'really' were on to Phoenix in 2000, u were possibly the 1st bro 2 listen 2 Phoenix EVER. 'You rule!'
thank god 4 altstreamrs
question to every1: ¿favorite top 3 mainstream bands?
so many folks using the hipsterrunoff formula of "via", "bro", and deliberate misspellings of silly pop bands that are ironic because they are somewhat forgotten/replaced by a new (or several) wave(s) of more bad music. can't wait to see a culture of kids who live on the blogosphere yet make fun of it aping a preset structure started by Carles. i wonder if everyone will just be a hypocrite/actor/ironic shell of a human being by 2020.
carles is pretty awesome though. aka tao lin. i hope. just he's spawning a clone army (via Ewan McGregor, Natalie Portman, and that black guy with the purple lightsaber getting his head cut-off (see I can do it too)) and i personally know a girl who keeps posting status updates to links to The National songs and Tallest Man on Earth Songs. she gets so much cred from her dipster-ass friends. she thinks she's some sort of alternative missionary type.
@sun rock, cool story. could't read a lot of it due to the proper sentence syntax. sry!
love how the altstreamer has the daft punk avatar (via robot rockkkkk). <3 <3 <3 u
man i followed pheenix since their first album dropped and i was mad mainstreamer back then. so proud of myself, so sad for these kidstreamers
Disregard that, I suck cocks
OMG GUYS! LOVE PHOENIX, SO GLAD MTV FEATURED THEM AND I DISCOVERED THEM. I ALSO FIND THIS BAND CALLED DEATH CAB FOR CUTIE. THEIR A LITTLE DEPRESSING BUT I STILL LOVE THEM! INDIE <3
#1 OC BAND IS THE SPOONS OR MAYBE WALKMAN.
I felt Too Young when I heard Phoenix on Lost in Translation in 2003. I honestly felt like I was wayy behind coppola curve tho at that point. I was 16 and I was almost already too cool for MM's new over-polished Sony sound("fuckin majors") and I got Oh, Inverted World from a high school bro before it came out [via p2p internet technology]. And I grew up in a redneck town of 1500 with conservative parents.
Am I old? How old is the HRO/altreport audience? R CRLs and I the same age?
My Top 3 rite nah
1. Hypemachine
2. p4k
3. http://www.youtube.com/user/yourMusicLove
srsly tho
My Top 3
1. LCD
2. Delorean
3. Breakbot
4. Aeroplane
4. The Twelves

I've been 'following' Phoenix since I heard them in da greatest MOVIE OF ALL TIME: Shallow Hal (via FX at 2 AM on Sunday).
