Girls Aloud slam indie hipsters

anyway, this single makes me lol.

it's obviously a bit bullshit but, <3 GA

Although they don't write their own music, they're one of the only chart groups who are doing anything remotely 'catchy'.

They also see themselves for what they are: a bunch of stupid slags - which is more than can be said for these class crusaders like The Enemy and The Twang, and these horrible posh student bands like The Wombats.

but it's no 'Indie Kids' by Yes Boss is it?!

And the fact he's probably grown up in really ultra shit conditions makes me really happy.

fake tanned pieces of plastic.

Biology is a choon, and you know it.

Beats 'Moving to New York' or whatever any day.

Reading some of the utter shite above has made me nuke my lovely 9" pizza. You bastards...

Here goes:

Why the hell shouldn't they (or at least Xenomania) get credit for writing great pop songs? How many people out there are capable of actually doing such a thing? Judging by the state of the charts, about 3. Pop music died on its sorry arse throughout the 90's thanks to over-sanitised cloned boy bands, and it's thanks partly to these girls putting the first and final fuck-off nail in its coffin that the UK has had a more indie-orientated mainstream music scene ever since. Alas, the same thing is now happening with that scene with everyone smelling the cash to be made, but yet they still continue to just be themselves and belt out progressively more adventurous pop music. The content of this song isn't one of their better moves (due to the sense of hypocrisy), but the sentiment is right. Some of the bands we're liking now are going to rank alongside Gay dad, Puressence and JJ72 in 3 years time. Whereas writing a damn decent pop song is a skill few people have - Biology has more skill in its innards than Paranoid Android in my humble opinion...

The reason they're so popular with people who have ears, is because the world sadly gets relatively few Jackos / Abba's / Princes in their time. Yes, I know the aforementioned largely wrote their own stuff, but whether its the 5 girls doing it or a team effort, I don't care - they're the ones getting it out there into the world. How many members of bands write anything of their material compared to the lead singers input I wonder?

I like Girls Aloud because after 3 years, I still hum bits of their first 2 albums. I wonder if you'll still do the same come 2011 with Los Campinwhatsitsface / Foals / Klaxons / etc...

Is well worth a look right now for fans / haters.

The comments section is priceless...

But I still stand behind my comment.

what does that mean for me?

My tolerance of Girls Aloud evaporated a while back.

I know you mean the Paranoid Android point, and thats what really hurts

what was that?

It makes the streets sound like Talib Kweli.

if i hear one "anti-indie-hipster" song, i swear to god i'l fucking rip my hear out. slagging of so called "hipsters" isn't original, nor is it clever. it's flat out annoying. now i'm in no way defending the whole "hipster" craze(i have lastnightsparty.com bookmarked for fucks sake), but shit like this has gotten out of hand. and out of all the artists to be doing this shit, it's fucking girls aloud.

Square has a really nice noodle place.

great tit!

I love Girls Aloud to the point where I'm seeing them back to back in May and it was the most exciting ticket purchase of the last six months.

Ok, aside from My Bloody Valentine.

The song in question made me smile and has a ring of truth. They only did it because they know they have a large 'indie' following, it's not like they did a track trashing how regee's been stagnent for the past decade, is it? The band know they're a parody of themselves which is part of the magic.

You can debate the depth of 'what it all really means' to music, but at the end of the day it's some of the best pop England's produced in the past decade. The same goes for the Monkees, completely manufactured, but at the end of the day enough good tunes to stuff a blue whale.

Sometimes it's nice to be able to bob your head, sing along and do a crap little dance with your girlfriend in H&M without worrying about context.

BUT I am fed up reading items in newspapers and magazines (the last one being Observer Music Monthly) saying things along the lines of "they're here to bring an end to boring white-boy pop" or similar. There have been loads of those. And they all centre around the fact that the people writing the articles find them fantastically attractive. To be fair, some of them are, but the idea that you're an antidote to dullards just because you're good looking is ridiculously offensive.

Plus Cheryl Cole is a thug. Let's not forget that.

No it isn't

is hot.
