Honestly, my post was maybe 5% "witty" riposte, but when The Suburbs' debut LP was released, I was indeed still living with my parents in the suburbs, and driving in to the big city to see bands on the weekends. And The Suburbs were also suburban kids, creating their own brand of art/punk that had nothing to with railing against Reagan or whatever, and much more about being intrigued/bemused by tall buildings, business executives and cows.
So the band reminds me of that time/place, not any specific bird/tree/lake feelings.
