should radiohead retroactively win 'grammie of the year'?

radiohead
is a band
that 'can do no effing wrong'
& is generally considered
by the internet 2 b
'G-D's effing gift to man'
but does n e 1 actually 'like'
this music?
or do we DL this shit only
b/c the internet tells us to?
is listening to each new radiohead album
just an excuse for mnstrmers
2 feel more 'alt'
& an excuse for alts
2 feel 'even more alt'?
oh thom...
can't really tell if ur music is good
what the hell r u saying?
r u having a seizure?
i know i should like u
the internet tells me to
will u get a 8.5-9.6 on p4k?
ur so conceptual
i just wanna get conceptual with u
body spasms_lotus flower_reality
_<3_truth_feeling
_emotion_double rainbows_luv
just wanna sit naked in a dark room
get blazed & stoned on pills
& vibe out 2 thom's 'haunting voice'
want 2 transcend human existence
want 2 transcend mnstrm & indie
want 2 transcend the Internet
want 2 travel back in time
& give u a giant grammie award
i've already pre-ordered 6
of ur $269 newspaper vinyls
#1 radiohead fan
rlly
ur so much more buzzworthy
than arcade fires
oh thom...
how slowly we unfold
bloopity bleepity bleep
<3 u
just wanna 'get real'
we're all in this 2gthr
mnstrmrs & alts
save us thom
save us
lead us 2
alternative
salvation
<3

_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_
have u DL'ed 'The Kings of Leons' yet?
is radiohead 'good music'?
is radiohead 'pretentious conceptual bullshit'?
did u order the newspaper album?
do u like radiohead on ur own, or only b/c every1 else tells you to like them?
is thom yorke a 'total hunk' or a 'total freak'?
how long have u been a radiohead fan?
what's the best/worst/most accessible/least accessible radiohead album?
is radiohead better/worse than arcade fires?
have you ever done drugs while listening 2 radiohead & had a 'transcendent experience?'
is music even about music anymore, or is music just abt image/blogs/internet memes?
does this music vid make u wanna puke?:

is indie dead?

once upon a time
many years ago
in 2k4-7
there was a music genre called 'indie'
ur band was 'indie'
if no1 knew who u were
u played in garages & basement bars
singing meaningful anthems or luv songs
abt 'being in luv' or 'feeling lost & confused'
or 'smoking dank' or 'death' or 'being a robot'
u released ur albums on vinyl
ur band comprised:
-4 rich white bros /
-2 white college bros w/a synthesizer /
-3 white bros & a some keut grl /
-10+ white bros & grls /
& u were relevant
& u were authentic
& the only ppl who listened 2u
were the ppl who really 'got it'
& zach braff & wes anderson used u
for their meaningful movies
& everything was meaningful
& u were happy
2 be alt
1 of these bands was called
'The Arcade Fireses' or 'Arcade Fire'
they sang the songs of a generation
of jaded, anxious formative alts
they sang abt 'family' & other meaningful shit
their songs expressed how u were feeling
'yeah, i really get this band' u said
'& they really get me'
& u went to an arcade fires concert
& every1 was like
'ahhh-aahhh-aaahhhh-aaahhh-ah-ohhh-ahhh-
000hhhhhh-000000hhhh-ahhhh'
really vibing out 2 some meaningful vibes
& the world seemed like a better place
& then there was some spike jonez movie trailer
'where the wild bros go'
& u thought 2 urself
'yes, nostalgic images of youth +
a meaningful indie soundtrack that only
me + my closest alt bros will understand =
pure alternative gold'
but then the movie sucked
& u went home afterward
& watched the trailer on utube
over & ovr again
& cried
& then some album came out called
'the suburbs of america suck'
& there was some song
called 'suburb sprawl of america part 5'
that seemed like it had ok lyrics
but then some lady with an awful voice was singing it
& every1 was like 'this is awful'
& then the album won
'best ever music album by humans ever'
& it seemed like
every alt thing we had been living 4
every alt thing we had worked 4
every p4k album review we 'read'
every hour we spent in front of our macbooks
was a waste
was a lie
was dead
indie was dead
indie was dead
indie was dead
there is no more indie
i lived 2 see the death
of indie
how can a band that wins
the highest mnstrm achievement award
be indie?
indie is dead
indie is dead
how can this awful music
b considered 'good' by anybody?
arcade fire
killed indie
this is a nightmare
indie is dead
this is just a bad dream
indie is dead
i'm sleeping
indie is dead
how can will i cope
in a post-indie world?
how can i b alt
if alt=mnstrm?
nothing makes sense anymore
indie is going mnstrm
buzzbands r going mnstrm
indie is dead
indie is dead
arcade fire
killed indie
indie
is dead

help

did yall watch the grammies?
have yall heard of arcade fires?
will arcade fire win an academy award/pulitzer/nobel peace prize?
when did u 'discover' the arcade fire?
when did arcade fire go mnstrm?
did arcade fire kill indie?
did regine kill indie?
did p4k kill indie?
did blogs kill indie?
did facebook kill indie?
did alts kill indie?
did mnstrmrs kill indie?
will indie ever 'rise from the ashes' [via TOMBOY?]
did u like 'the wild bros go wild'?
why does all music suck?
how do i stay indie in a post-indie world?
how do i stay alt in a post-alt world?
