Words you can keep

Landfill Indie

Landfill Indie - a term most likely derived from a white pretentious hipster, circa 2000-2005 via the Midwest. Lumping several artists/bands music into a “landfill” of same/similar music. Labeled as uninspiring and mass produced. Something they are unable to gate keep due to its mass appeal. Fueled by Organic Liberica coffee and an asshole-ish wit, they tend to “one up” all music suggestions. Most don’t even play an instrument, yet are entitled to speak on all music. Especially when given the opportunity to give their opinion.

The Strokes “Hate to say I told You So”, is undisputed landfill indie.

Back when I lived in upstate new york

A meaningless, unimpressive, self-serving introduction. An indicator that the story about to be shared will be pointless and dumb.

Back when I lived in upstate new york, I also had to park on the street - on two occasions, we got enough snow, mixed with just the right plowing, that my car was lifted off the ground from so much snow being jammed underneath it.
