Mumford and Sons, eh? Didn't know they were talking about that kind of indie rock.

I got nine.
― Mark G, Wednesday, 30 January 2013 10:50 (twelve years ago)
12, despite having knowingly never heard a note by any of the bands (apart from that terrible foster the people thing a couple of years ago). that level of smugness their eyes carry is just too difficult for a random guy to reproduce.

I got 9, I just went by how professional the photo looked.
― Gavin, Leeds, Wednesday, 30 January 2013 11:15 (twelve years ago)
I got 9 but I was only sure abt one of them (marcus mumford, except I thought he was dude from vampire weekend lol)
― Roz, Wednesday, 30 January 2013 11:17 (twelve years ago)
Also 9 but without recognising any of them.
― questino (seandalai), Wednesday, 30 January 2013 11:28 (twelve years ago)
Same here, 9 but I was guessing except for that Mumford putz.

Buzzfeed have a really strange definition of 'indie rock'.

hahai got 8/15 because i guessed the randoms right, not because i recognized anyonehad no idea who any of these people were by sight except for the pretty guy from the strokes

8 out of 14, just guessing.
I don't even recognize most real celebrities.

5/14 guessing except for jim james
― downton arby (upper mississippi sh@kedown), Wednesday, 30 January 2013 19:33 (twelve years ago)
Guessed on all, got seven. Funny that I've seen both Mumford and Passion Pit not long ago on SNL and didn't remember either of 'em. Didn't recognize My Morning Jacket guy either, but honestly there's a ton of wild-haired beardos around lately.

8, I guessed Jim James, not anyone else.
― Rod Steel (musicfanatic), Wednesday, 30 January 2013 20:18 (twelve years ago)
And I listen to a lot of lol-indie. It is kind of crazy how I wouldn't recognize anyone who created my top 20 albums of last year if I saw them out in public, for instance.
― Rod Steel (musicfanatic), Wednesday, 30 January 2013 20:20 (twelve years ago)
at least one of the randoms is probably in an unknown indie band
― brio, Wednesday, 30 January 2013 20:54 (twelve years ago)
13 / 14
Not sure how as i'm pretty sure i've only ever seen pictures of about three of the singers.

Can someone define "lol-indie"? Context is all I've gone on and I see it as meaning obvious/easily marketable buzz band indie. Is that right?
― Evan, Wednesday, 30 January 2013 20:59 (twelve years ago)
9/14
― Old Boy In Network (Michael B), Wednesday, 30 January 2013 21:44 (twelve years ago)
and i was guessing
I got three wrong, one because I second guessed myself and the other because I wouldn't know Portugal. The Man or Foster the People from, well, some random dude in Brooklyn.

White dudes white dudes white dudes white dudes white dudes. What a waste of ones and zeroes.

10 out of 14, guessing except for Phoenixbloke
― ( ͡° ͜ʖ͡°) (sic), Thursday, 31 January 2013 02:22 (twelve years ago)
10 out of 14, pure guessing, never heard of any of these bands.... (Except maybe Phoenix, isn't that some French band?)
― Tuomas, Thursday, 31 January 2013 13:11 (twelve years ago)
8/14
― Designated Striver (Tom D.), Thursday, 31 January 2013 13:14 (twelve years ago)
... all guesses!
