I’m seeing a lot of this crop up in discourse at the moment, a reference to flannel shirt wearing hipster folk, with extremely basic percussion. Indie pixie dream folk? Obamacore?
The most obvious example being:

General chat welcomed.
Feel like these songs are ok in isolation but are going to quickly feel cloying and annoying when we put them all together
Funny that the drummer on that second song used to be in The Fall
The first couple of Mumford and Sons albums have got to be the epitome over here right?
Although not sure there’s much clapping, plenty of stomping.
I’m putting this in tentatively as a sort of patient zero for this, at least the aesthetic if not the song itself.
Maybe this too
Oh of course. Yep, they’re going in.
Some proper waistcoats on display in these clips.

Strange enough timing, just two days ago my wife said she wasn’t sure if she’d actually heard an Arcade Fire song before. I played her the most popular in order, but none of them clicked. Then I played this one since it was their breakthrough song and when she heard the “hey!” she laughed like “I thought you despised this kind of music!” I ended up having to do this pathetic “no but Funeral was actually good but well” retort. Bodied.
How has this thread made it this far without this one?
Noah Kahan is still making mad bank off of it isn’t he
WELCOME TO THE BOARDS
It’s quite amusing to me that Fun. had Jack Antinoff on bass.
I genuinely think that Edward Sharpe song might be the worst song ever recorded. the videos of them playing it is even worse
