Date: July 21st, 2025 2:12 PM Author: Green Market Police Squad i literally can't think of a single significant band that was formed at our finest universities. vampire weekend from columbia is as good as it gets. what's wrong with these nerds? tons of smart rich well connected layabouts in these places, but they never started a band?

The time and effort it takes to make it as a band--thousands of hours playing instruments in a garage/basement/bedroom, playing hundreds of shows, traveling around--is close to mutually exclusive with doing well enough in HS to get into HYPS and succeeding academically at HYPS. People in bands that might make it are on a different track than people at HYPS. |

Date: July 21st, 2025 2:47 PM Author: Green Market Police Squad quick google result:
public enemy, the doors, the strokes, pink floyd, queen, the pixies, coldplay, talking heads, REM, steely dan, radiohead.
but in general it seems you're right, not many out there. like you say, pretty impossible to tour if you're in college. |
