ANIMAL COLLECTIVE, it was the mountains that made the kids scream. Options

[NoSex]

Hey kids let’s pick up sticks let’s make out the sounds of our bones,
All dogs invited if everything feels wrong then we need a little bangin’ goin on.
1-2-3 arms for the trees self seekers vomiting doubts,
I changed all your words but my poltergeist concurs that words aren’t even necessary right now.

Too trendy? Haven't heard that about AC before, or at least not around here.

C'mon...no one listens to Nirvana anymore. It's so outdated they probably play it on the oldies stations.

I actually listen to them from time to time. My bro left me his Nirvana albums and a few others before he was deployed.

It's trendy as far as so-called "indie" bands go.

(I hate term "indie" but I can't think of a better term to use right now.)

dude, are you retarded? first of all, animal collective is like ten years old. secondly, the popularity of a specific artist has no rational relationship to its quality or whatever -- essentially, you shouldn't refrain from listening to popular or hip music merely because it is popular and or hip. you should listen to music based on its individual & independent merits.

lastly, nirvana isn't "cool" anymore? are you f*cking kidding me. nirvana is probably the most popular and most lauded rock band of the entire 90's, and is still constantly on the radio, constantly in the media, and constantly on people's ipods.
retarded.

agree 100%

About Animal Collective, however... I don't like or dislike them. I don't skip their songs when I shuffle upon them, but tbh, I don't actively choose to listen to them. My friend Austin introduced me to AC after we bonded on our mutual love of Of Montreal 4 years ago, but I just never really learned to appreciate them.
