Suddenly all my friends are really into jazzy Arcade Fire. What gives?

They’re one of the bigger newish hardcore bands that have broken out into the mainstream for being different enough to be quite unique even among their peers.
I personally don’t like them, but I get the deal. The instrumentation mixed with Elliot Smith angst works in a neat way. Still, I like my hardcore a little more Swain and Joyce Manor and a little less Tropical Fuck Storm.
