Those of you who are lucky enough to actually know me have figured out by now my disdain, nay, hatred for the band Vampire Weekend. Before i continue with this verbal bashing of a band which some of you may or may not have heard of; lets take a look.
Ok. I honestly feel like I would only be doing these yuppie fucks a service by ranting for too long about how bad they are. So, I won't. I think any normal human being could look at this video and realize how absolutely ridiculous these kids are. "Hey, were on my boat, playing instruments. Dressed like absolute assholes (a la Dawson's Creek) here's some maps to show you how cool we are because we are obviously from the New York area." People take up for this band (including people i know who know them) by saying "they are really nice guys who are genuinely surprised at their fame." Seriously... NO. I'm sorry but bands today are programmed to say that, and if it were at all true, their general demeanor would not be where it is at right now.
As for the music itself.. Its boring. Its rehashed pop meant to seem like more than it actually is. Their new album has been regarded as fun, happy pop music that doesn't care about what is going on around it. Unfortunately, its boring. Its flash-in-the-pan yuppie pop that will be here today, but gone tomorrow like so many bands before. Its no wonder these guys don't understand their fame. It genuinely isn't deserved. Bottom line, I have a hard time believing vampires would listen to their music, therefore I can not support them. This band, their ego, and their oxford commas are horrible.

I heard something along the lines of "Vampire Weekend is for frat boys who think they are too cool to listen to Paul Simon."
