About
When the bright young men of Vampire Weekend started putting out music in the late 2000, it was amazing how swift the backlash wa, especially in the more gatekeep-y corners of indie music. The band members were slammed for being smart and not hiding it. For borrowing liberally from African and Caribbean music, despite <i>scanning</i> as preppy white kids (never mind that their de facto musical director, the multi-instrumentalist Rostam Batmanglij, was Iranian American, and that white indie-rock bands would’ve done well to cultivate a musical curiosity beyond white indie-rock). And for being the kind of charming, winning, angst-free, and morally upright good sports that punks and underground culture-dwellers tend to hate, or at least sneer at from under the bleacher. Some guys have all the luck—the rest of us just hate ’em for it. .
