What a homogeneous list of alt-guitar rock. I suspect this list represents Jesse’s personal taste, not what students across the country are actually listening to.
I agree with Mark, I have never heard any one of these songs this year.
The majority of these songs a little too teeny for me, I can’t personnally relate to any of these songs but wonder if a 18-19-year old 1st year could?
