The Decemberists

The most excellent historical/literary indie rock/pop band that ever hit the airwaves. Led by frontman Colin Meloy, they constantly deliver songs that take us to worlds long gone to the sound of witty lyrics and perhaps a bit of polka or metal to back it up.

Ignorant Non-Creative Guy: What're you listening to?

Me: The Tain, by The Decemberists

Ignorant Non-Creative Guy: What the hell's that? All I know is that no one around me listens to it, so I shouldn't either. Everyone knows that musical taste isn't what you think sounds good, it's what other people tell me SHOULD sound good.

Me: **slaps forehead** Well then I'm telling you that it sound good and you should listen to it. In fact you WILL listen to it, or I WILL shove your #$@!ing damned Green Day®™© CD up your little ultra-conformist ass.

The Decemberists

A band with a cult following. Members torture their friends by insisting that it is the greatest music ever. This is not true. It's not musically interesting and does not rock at all.

Cultist: "The Decemberists are awsome! This is the greatest song ever! Just listen to the lyrics!"
Friend: "This sucks my ass!"

The Decemberists

A fairly unheard of band. They include an 'Anti-War' message in most of their songs and put a touch of Ska lyrics into their usually Indie Style music. They are a fairly good band, but the lyrics anger many people.

Hey did you hear that new song by The Decemberists? It seemed to really highlight anti-war messages. I don't really like them.

Serial Monogamist

Someone who jumps from one relationship immediately into another one.

Serial monogamists can not stand to be alone and often suffer from vast commitment and insecurity issues.

Because they jump into relationships immediately after the previous one has ended, serial monogamists typically don't take the time to reflect on their behavior or why their previous relationships failed; thus, they end up making the same relationship mistakes over and over again.

Person 1: Damn, Dustin already has a new girlfriend?! It's only been two weeks since he broke up with his fiance! I think he's a sociopath.

Person 2: No, he's a serial monogamist...
