Her voice is so interesting! And I really like most of her lyrics as well. She's very different, and not just in that way that so many artists are desperately trying to be different. She just is, and it's awesome.

She is so good. Have you heard Buzzcut Season? There are some songs that it's like, the lyrics don't exactly hit me or anything, but just the way that the voice sounds can give me the chills...that's one of those songs.

It's a problem because I'm going to wear her music out not because I want to listen to more hipster-y music.

I haven't! I'll check it out. I really like Team, for the lyrics.
Dude. Team is freaking wonderful. Basically, all of her stuff is great. Also A World Alone. Just EVERYTHING AHHHHH

Ah haha sometimes I listen to A World Alone on my headphones I get confused because all the talking in the background sounds like it's actually coming from behind me ... which is freaky. But it's a really pretty song.
Edit: Also if you guys haven't listened to her EP I highly recommend that as well, since there are a few really good songs on there that didn't end up on her full album. Like oh my gosh, "Bravado" is so epic.
Yeah, it took me a while to notice the talking in A World Alone, and when I did I was really confused at first, but now it's cool. XDI need to listen to her EP. I will probably put it on my iPod and go nuts while I'm studying this week. :P
@ColbyIt's a problem because her music isn't indie enough. :P

STOP.
NO.
It's not a problem at all because her music is RIDICULOUSLY GOOD. She has ONE SONG that gets played on the radio. One. And to be honest, it's not her best song. If you put her on a scale with a ton of the other artists who get radio play, she's very indie. Not that it matters.
The reason 'hipster culture' gets so much negative light is because people claim they don't like things that are GOOD because they're too mainstream. And that sucks, because I don't have a problem with the whole hipster thing. I do, however, have a problem with saying that I shouldn't like an artist because her music's not indie enough. If you like an artist you should like them whether they have one fan or one billion fans. It's NEVER going to be a problem for me to listen to popular music. There is some popular music that is out there that fricking rocks. And it'd be ridiculous to deny myself the pleasure of hearing that music just because it's not indie enough.
I'm not trying to make this into an argument or anything. It's just something that really bothers me and I wanted to make my stance clear. So that's that. :)
Fantastic. Sorry to tread on your toes with my teasing. Go take some Midol and then maybe you'd get it.

Finally, someone who loves the Lorde songs that I do.
And I agree; it really ticks me off when my friends say, "Oh, I LOVE Lorde!" And, then when I ask what their favorite songs are by her, it turns out they only know of "Royals," nothing more.
It's like, dude, how can you claim to "love" an artist when you've only heard ONE song by them? HOW?
Sorry, it just really frustrates me. She deserves to be more recognized in this day and age.
Lorde is an amazing artist. I have almost all her albums on my iPod and I listen to them all the time. She is my favourite artist.

Okay. I'm sorry. I didn't mean to cause a shitstorm over something as stupid as Lorde. Calm the hell down. If you have a legitimate, non-hormonal problem, feel free to let me know. Otherwise, take a chill pill.

Also, don't joke about PMS. Just ... don't.

Heck yeah!! I live for indie Christmas music.
Haha I can't just listen to Christmas music. My mom and sister will buy Christmas CDs and drive around with them in their car from, like, November 1. I can't.I honestly had no idea that there was such a thing as indie Christmas music, though. XD
I agree with Brigid on this one. I'll listen to whatever it is I like regardless of how popular the song/artist is. And, I absolutely love Lorde's music. She has a really unique voice and I like her lyrics and how she sings about the underdogs in songs like Team.
Arctic Monkeys - Why'd You Only Call Me When You're High

Thank goodness I'm not the only one. I'll listen to Christmas music maybe in, like, the week before Christmas, but besides that I can't stand it. Maybe that comes from being in band for so many years and having to play Christmas songs for three months straight in preparation for a concert.
Mod
Oh, Gosh Megan I totally know what you mean about the band thing, though. We had to play songs from Christmas, Hanukkah, and Kwanzaa because you know, public school (not saying it's bad to be inclusive it's just kind of silly sometimes) and the only Kwanzaa song we ever played from middle school to high school was called "Kwanzaa Kwanzaa" I don't ever want to hear it again.
Capital Lights: His Favorite Christmas StoryI love Christmas music, but I can only take so many carols before I get sick of them. So these other Christmas songs are a good alternative. It helps me keep my sanity through December. :)

Aaaah, I adore Capital Lights! And that song is so sweet and sad.
I'm sad that they're not around anymore. :(

This ^^
I usually don't listen to this much Christmas music, but this year is different. Probably because I'm away from home and Christmas means not being at college anymore. Ehe.

Which is also something that I had to do, so maybe that does have something to do with it. XD
Mod
... actually a really good song xD not as weird as the title makes it sound.
Panic! at the Disco - The Piano Knows Something I Don't KnowAHHH that flute part at the beginning. I need to learn it.
Book On Tape Worm - Pianocide
I think I'm in love. My roommate plays this group all the time and I finally asked her what their name was. Perfect December music.

Panic! at the Disco - From A Mountain in the Middle of the CabinsOH MY GOSH these songs like ALL have flute parts, why have I never noticed this before. Yet another reason why they are one of the best bands ever.

Ooh, I love the names; the song name and the band name! I'm going to check them out.
Mod
Ugh, this short was so adorable and so is the music. I can't handle it.
I think I have seen that short, Alicia...if I'm thinking of the right thing, it was SO good.
Mod
Okay, these are like... some of the most fantastic lyrics I've heard in a long time. So witty and sarcastic and just. Yes.
Augh yes that song. Loving it right now.
twenty one pilots - GonerThis song gives me the chills. I love it.
Paul McCartney - Queenie Eyeughghghghghghghgh you are 71 years old stop being perf
Although, I actually think it kind of suits him. I don't know a single soul on this earth that could wear a hairstyle like that but him, and get away with it.
