A band representing the national trend of taking a good, out-there, little-known band and blowing them up to the point that they are no longer good and out-there. This can be especially frustrating for those that purchased their CD before anyone else even knew who they were. Other examples of this include Coldplay and the movie Napolean Dynamite.
"I want to watch Napolean Dynamite again!"
"No dude, it got completly Franz Ferdinanded. Let's watch Pulp Fiction instead"

Get the Franz Ferdinand mug.Austro-Hungarian Monarch. Shot. Dead. WW1. So they say.

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.
