 Trent Reznor barely got his first #1 on billboard thanks to Old Town Road. NIN was huge and popular but probably yeah not the IT band or whatever.

Also I would add War On Drugs to the mid 2010s. That band got stupidly huge in a way I don't think anyone anticipated. Same with Kurt Vile. Every time I get in a Lyft these days the person driving is playing Kurt Vile.

Imagine Dragons are bigger than both of these. This is way more niche than you think dude.

Yeah, it has nothing to do with popular culture deciding as a whole who is "it". Edie Sedgwick and Chloe Sevigny were it girls, they sure as hell weren't the most popular.


You saw Sonic Youth as a headliner in 94, what makes you think you should know who the "it" band is these days? I'm younger than you, and even I still feel out of touch with the modern underground.

You’re just not cool. Sorry
