I'm a bit older than Geese's core Gen Z audience, but I'm glad that their generation is finally being able to experience something that's really been missing over the past decade or more in alternative/rock/indie rock whatever, and that's a really exciting, complex, buzzy, controversial, tabloid moment for a band on the rise much like my generation did for bands like the Strokes, the White Stripes, and Arcade Fire (cringe.)

You've got the fast ascent to being a buzz band and seeing them strangely break through the mainstream with appearances on SNL or that odd moment you realized a song of theirs was used on the Macy's Thanksgiving Day parade.

You've got the critical acclaim praising them as the next big thing.

You've got the backlash and divisive opinions.

You've got the industry controversy of it all.

You've got the details about some of the band member's family members having unusual forms of fame themselves.

You've got the Coachella performance buzz filled with celebrities watching.

You've got the lead singer dating a pop culture star and ending up on TMZ.

And you get to enjoy all of that for the first time! There's so much more to look forward to, too. Will the band become festival headliners, or is this it when it comes to their peak? Will someone in the band eventually crash out or get arrested for punching the lights out of a rival buzz band? Will the lead singer's solo career outshine the band's? So much to look forward to. Enjoy the chaotically good wild ride.

Nice article on Medium in defense of Geese and this absurd Wired column
