So, Hip Hop has established its four elements (the four catalysts that were the stimulus of the genre)
BUT
What are the elements for its introverted, caucajan equivalent?

All you need to do is...
take Dev Hynes and point out four things about him... then you'll find the answer to this thread!
bad bad bad post.
please stop.
heliotrope, eh...
4 L M Ents
1. At least one player who has very limited skills causing all songs to sound the same
2. At least two with very slightly crazy hair, and two that smell
3. Extremely limited musical horizons
4. Absolutely unshakeable belief in own self importance, preferably covered by slouchy, apathetic, so-what demeanour
You know the whole 'caucasian' debate from earlier in the thread?
Shame on you
alexa chung
She's got to be one of the elements.
band members normally follow these types
the confident/cocky cunt (singer)
the eccentric genius (guitarist or keyboardist)
the quiet, fat one who was forced into it (bassist)
the 'wacky' motherfucker with the biggest drug habit (drummer)
i'm not sure if this is indie or "rock" in general
however
Indie bands usually have...
1 cocky/confident cunt
and 3 who were forced into it.
Sometimes it has 4 of the latter. (coldplay)
.
1 Guitars
2 A loyal Fanbase, mostly under 30, that will like you until you become famous
3 A shy/deprived childhood on which to base your songs
4 A self-released EP or a few songs on your MySpace
Ah! Forgot the most important one:
Converse
Maybe
1) Influenced by The Smiths
2) Feature in NME radar
3) Obscure hit featured in a football computer game
4) Artrocker cover feature.
I have fleas
