Pish and mystifyingly popular Scottish Band that are this month's 'band du jour' among Britain's alt-art "yeah I'm so trendy and with it" cognoscenti. Alternative enough to be acceptable to the educated middle classes and students, but sufficiently lacking in originality to have mass appeal among brain-dead assholes who like whatever happens to be trendy. Destined for fleeting success followed by half-hearted follow-ups of marginal artistic credibilty and only fringe appeal. Popular among people who punctuate sentences randomly with the word "like".
I went to a totally like underground Franz Ferdinand concert and only like really clever people who get it were there because it wasn't advertised except on the internet like and in a coded advert in The List that you had to be a totally clever like fan to understand. And I was there so I said the guy, I was like "I'm like your biggest fan and I knew you all before you were like really popular" and he was like "oh really well why don't you come in for like free then" and I was like "yeah" and I got in like totally free. It was so cool just like being so much like everyone else but in a totally like original and alternative way yeah.

local new zealand terminology.

term used to describe or refer to an emerging pop culture in new zealand.

regarding a random but socially viable combination of popular new zealand music and culture, in reference to the local dub/reggae group - 'fat freddys drop' and scottish art-rock band - 'franz ferdinand'.

mostly prominant among students in the summertime.
fat freddy's ferdinands were most probably spawned by the rise of jack johnson and folk-surf music in general, they are people or groups of people who are subject to the marketing efforts of all afforementioned artists, mixed with new zealand cultural sentiment

wearing jandals, trucker caps and t-shirts decorated with generic stencil art, they will automatically attend performances by all of the artists without consideration or hesistation - export gold beer in hand.

often pre-occupied with the new zealand summer or ''kiwi summer, bro''.

they generally appear to hold little or no musical, cultural or social integrity or taste and even less musical direction - hence the reference to wealthy popular art-rock 'eccentrics' - 'franz ferdinand'.

ie: whatever's happening...
