A series of gays that all hate each other within their friend groups. But they can sure play some instruments.

A phrase whose origins may have actually been intended at one point to be helpful. However its use today seems to be restrictive and would make one avoid local music scenes. It is entirely possible though that some or many cities uphold a more welcoming aspect when uttering this phrase. Within Ottawa, "Support local music" means either pop punk, emo or "hardcore" music as other genres "aren't marketable." There is also an antagonistic approach even to friends of the band or band member where they are expected to pay over being guest listed even if said person has limited financial means. The support seems to center specifically on money rather than listening to the music itself. One is also expected to do this for any local show, even if the band's genre is not to your preference because it's about them, not you.

A band, typically very poppy in nature, that just makes a person want to dance. Typically guys won't admit they like this band, but most people can't turn it off. However Girls, especially Girls named Tanya, love them and occasionally make interpretive dance videos for them that can be found on the interwebz. lol.

crush 40

crush 40 is the worst example of a "rock band"
their music is shit

a band composed of banjos and sitars.

Sonic Youth.

Now I liked this band when I was younger but they have not aged very well. Their music all sounds the same also and it gets old fast. They are also very lame. Their only good album was the 1985 album Bad Moon Rising.

A band that has changed it's core members and artistic vision to the point where the name and brand are now compromised by people that had little or nothing to do with the original lineup.
