What music is edgy?

[AbominableHoman]

I want to be able to name drop some sweet bands. Like if I'm conversing outside the mini-theater of my community college with a bunch of randos, and someone asks me "what bands are you into?", I want to be able to tell them bands that will make them think Yeah, he's cool -- he gets it!. Nothing to do with Jeff Tweedy or Radiohead, please. Also, bands consisting of no more than three members. They also should have a real organic sound; with a band name that isn't literal and doesn't start with "The". They should have zero connections to sell-outs and Bono.

Are you really that desperate to fit in? Just be yourself, if they don't like it, they can fuck off.

Just make them up, no one will notice.

3 Members each band and currently my favorites.

30 SECONDS TO MARS

SIXX A.M.

MUSE

Supermassive Black Hole

Just say you like Bad Brains and King's X; People that try to be cool have heard of 'em, but no one actually listens to their music. You can make up song names and no one will even know.

"Edgy", not "boring".

Big Black. They were awesome. I discovered them when I was in high school in the 90's. They had 3 members, and no drummer. They used a drum machine. He was real good. My link

Absolutely fabulous fantastic abrasive fucking nasty amazing music, i love love LOVE Big Black and indeed most things that Mr Albini has touched.

Interpol

Interpol had a chance, but they screwed themselves with the crap they released after their debut.

I had really high hopes for them **sigh**

No one actually listens to their music? Fuck you, Bad Brains are fucking immense, always have been always were, i could recite that firm album for you verbatim.

It was sarcasm, as in 'hipster' don't actually listen to the bands they namecheck do they?

Meh, just my dumb sense of humor. Both bands are great, no offense meant. I love King's X too; Particularly that one song..um.. Skid Marks.., yeah great tune.

[LightningBolt]

No offense taken.

I'm inspired to listen to King's X now, actually, so I guess I should be thanking you.

This might be my favorite so far. Is there a story behind why they don't have a drummer? If not I'll make one up.

A lot of good ones so far.

I think you should actually give'em a listen, they're a phenomenal band. Pick up "Songs About Fucking"

It's a cover, but still fucking great.
