Some underground or obscure band (or band obscure to the fans' larger peer group) that someone likes only because they can act elitist and sophisticated OR they can they say they like something unique different from everyone else. In bad cases, should the band break into the mainstream, they will suddenly disavow their fanship.
As a phenomenon, the term can be applied to individual artists. Most associated with genres with strong anti-authoritarian tendencies like punk, indie rock or hip hop, but can be applied to a wide range of situations, like random American fans of J-pop who really only like it because they can feel special, in contrast to true appreciators.
Sometimes associated with hipsters, or rather, their imitators.
Nevertheless everyone needs a dose of identity band sometimes. The opposite excess, where your playlist is entirely composed of songs off the top 40 lists, is a much worse sin.

It doesn't matter how massively popular Coldplay is, Arjun is self-confident enough that he doesn't have an identity band crisis for liking them.
Person 1: I liked Kid Cudi and Kanye better when they were underground.
Person 2: Please tell me you're not into that insecure identity band shit.

Get the Family Identities mug.Post-Metaphorical Identity is the non-identification with any metaphorical sign, movement, characteristic, or collective as an individual. The Post-Metaphorical Identity school of thought is very similar to the Post-Racial school of thought, however the Post-Metaphorical Identity school is more strictly intellectual, less popular, and more strict in its final consideration of what is considered proper identity clauses in an educated populace.
Post-Metaphorical Identity is more literal, expansive, scientific, and agreed upon than any other identity signatures, such as white or black, as it is obvious to any apparent onlooker.

Example: “I like her, she has a unique verbal identity that captures a room when she speaks”
Monologue:
Brendon: “I like the cute little blonde, she’s unique”
Scott: “Mate, They are all cute blondes so nothing unique here, I can’t see the difference TBH”
Brendon: “Solid point, well she’s the one that talks differently, she uses unique words & phrases to describe things, it’s kinda cute really”
Scott: “Really, how so”
Brendon: “ like when you ask her how she is, she responded with ‘magic’ or when she refers to her feet as tootsies, or cuddles as snuggies etc”
Scott: “Yeah, ok, I know what you mean, she has her own vocal identity”

Get the Vocal Identity mug.I couldn't decide what to listen to. I started w/ ska, went to pop punk, 90s country, the soundtrack to Dear Evan Hansen, and finally settled on early 2000s Taylor Swift. I was having a full blown musical identity crisis.
