The Horrors are absolutely vital to the UK indie scene.

What we really, really needed was a bunch of posh Hoxton-dwelling art school cunts making good on Daddy's credit card. Because we didn't have enough of those.

i'm 19

and modern music makes me feel cold and shut out. i think i missed the meeting where we collectively substituted good tunes for...bands like the horrors.

they are

an absolute snapshot of what went wrong with the 'indie' music scene.Still the singer does sometimes look quite cool.....

not really

they may be terrible but they're hardly emblematic of what's wrong with the indie music scene. nobody else sounds like them for a start. they're a band who make stupid music and look stupid and behave stupidly and have fun doing it, they don't pretend to be anything else. i'd say far more fitting of being an absolute snapshot of all that is wrong with indie music would be shite like the fratellis, the view and the automatic, people making ridiculously bland, unoriginal, derivative music with zero originality and thinking they're changing the fucking world with it.

i'd never listen to their records (i've only heard sheena is a parasite which i thought was actually quite funny in how in-your-face awful it was, though im not sure if that was intentional) but i do enjoy their presence for the sole reason that they annoy lots of people
