The Shins N.Another extremely overrated indie band, unfortunatley made famous by the "tries way to hard to seem indie and quirky" movie Garden State. With a couple nice songs were deemed the god of "indie bands" Their song New Slang featured in the movie, was called "a song that would change your life" although hardly anyone knows what the song is even about, but you seem to meet a lot of Shins fans who like them because it seemed cool.
Shins Fan: That movie was right, New Slang like changes your life. All of The Shins songs their songs are so good.
Me: Whats so life changing? Do you even understand the lyrics?
Shins Fan, singing to the song: "New slang when you notice the stripes..."

A great Indie pop band that expertly crafts wonderful pop songs with a slightly wistful, melacholy undertone. Their 2001 release Oh, Inverted World quickly became a favorite among fans of Indie pop fans, and their second release, Chutes Too Narrow, was also recieved among critics and fans alike.

A truly original and forever great alternative/indie band. Albums include Oh, Inverted World, Chutes Too Narrow, and Wincing the Night Away. I suggest listening to "Australia" for starters. Their music is also featured in Garden State, which is a good movie but seriously people, you'd have no idea about The Shins if it wasn't for Zach Braff.
Emily: I love the Shins. Sleeping lessons is such a good song. Yanno?
Derek: Who? WHAT?
Emily: Never mind.
Derek: Oh wait, Sleeping Lessons! That Zune commercial!
Emily: Oh... my God.
Derek: Aren't they in Garden State, too? That movie with Scrubs guy?
The process of Emily's brain imploding on itself thus ensues.
