the shins
the band that everyone started to listen to after the movie, Garden State. They are a very good indie band none-the-less.

The Shins
An amazing indie band. Oh, Inverted World was their first success, and the follow-up Chutes Too Narrow was revered by indie fans and critics alike. They have just released Wincing the Night Away, which while IMO is not quite as good as Chutes Too Narrow, is still a lot better than almost all other music out there today.
It really pisses off people who have been listening to them for quite a while that they're getting so popular with posers who like to latch onto semi-indie bands (the same tragic thing happened with Death Cab for Cutie). The movie Garden State is mostly to blame for this, although shows like the OC and Grey's Anatomy have been ruining good bands for quite some time now.

Loser: So, I'm pretty into Indie stuff right now...
Actual Music Fan: Oh really, what are you listening to right now?
Loser: ...uh... The Shins!
Actual Music Fan: Oh, really? (suspiciously) How'd you hear about them?
Loser: Garden State
Actual Music Fan: (sarcastically) Wow! You're sooo alternative... (walks away)

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..."

National kick slightly taller people in the shins day
October 22nd, the day for retribution against people between 5”5 and 5”10 who were just barely tall enough to escape National Throw Short People Day. You have not escaped yet.
Today is my favorite day, National kick slightly taller people in the shins day, as a person who is 6”2. I get to kick people who are shorter than me in the shins.
