Haha, what does any of this even mean. "Exist in the musical community"? Do they have some really good collaborations going? I don't get it. It's just kids ripping off a Paul Simon album that wasn't any damn good in the first place and then adding groanworthy lyrics about yogurt drinks and summer homes. I won't deny there's a place for them, because there's a place for everything these days, but it's not like I'm saying "thank goodness for Vampire Weekend." We've already been over how this band is terrible in several aspects and its mere existence necessitates a sea change in independent music. We're going in circles here, but maybe at least this snob-on-snob violence, so to speak, will make people who like Jet less afraid to post in the folder, or something.
That's funny because I absolutely love Jet. I wasn't really going on people's opinions of Vampire Weekend from this board.. it was more so the opinions of the band that people have here at Ohio State.
