A certain type of musical artist oriented toward "hipsters" and those who love them. This term was largely coined by the blog Hipster Runoff and then co-opted into the music blogosphere. These bands tend to attract a huge amount of hype, most importantly from Pitchfork leading up to their debut album, or in some cases, their second album that is supposed to represent a major advance on the first. Then, Pitchfork gives them a 9.1 or whatever and everyone flips out, and the "buzzband" becomes, at least, just another band.

Recent examples of buzzbands include Tapes 'n' Tapes, Grimes, Vampire Weekend, The xx, Cults, Fleet Foxes, and most recently, CHVRCHES.

Pitchfork is really hyping the latest buzzband's new album by positively reviewing all of their singles and posting multiple music videos.

Buzz on Maggie

A short-lived 2000s Disney TV cartoon created by Dave Polsky, debuted on 2005. It features the Maggie Pesky character, who resembles a friendly fly guitarist and serves as a main protagonist of the show. Many episodes focus on Maggie's daily life.

It's so sad that it lasted only one season, leading to the cancellation of the show on 2006. It has yet to appear on Disney+.

Person 1: Remember Buzz on Maggie cartoon? I watched it as a kid
Person 2: Yes! I also remember it, one of the best childhood shows!
Person 1: Yay! You're right
