Talk:Yeah Yeah Yeahs

Indie? Punk?

don't get me wrong - this band is okay, but you're very confused if you think this is "indie rock". what exactly do you think "indie rock" is? music that cool hipster cats like? can you describe to me what indie rock sounds like? can't put it into words, can you? that's because indie is a status, not a sound. indie rock is the rock part of indie music, it's short for independent, meaning not owned by a major corporation. - you see, interscope, the major label they signed to is owned by a huge conglomerate called vivendi, who also owns this other company called vivendi environment, which indulges in such fascistic corporatocratic practices as privatizing the earth's water supply (starving some, making the poor a lot poorer, and the rich a lot richer). and everytime you buy a yeah yeah yeahs record (or cd) you're making a lot more money for a corporation that does this everyday. with major labels only giving 10-15% of the royalties to the actual artists who make the actual music - how much money do you think they've made for this corporation that kills people? families, mothers, children, whatever, they can't pay for their water... don't believe me? here's the sources

i'm not saying this band is bad, i'm just saying they're very confused and naive if they think and say they're indie, cos this is how the major label system works - some are owned by corporations that starve people for profit, some are owned by arms manufacturers, and don't forget if you've bought it at god-forbid wal-mart, then you've bought it from one of the biggest sweatshop abusers in the world. hey! speaking of sweatshops, did you know the yeah yeah yeahs did an advertisement for adidas, who also use sweatshops and child labor? isn't that so PUNK ROCK of them? isn't that so "indie rock" of them? they sure are stickin it to the man... oh, you need a source for that too? here you go, my sweet wonderful darling babies:

http://www.corpwatch.org/article.php?id=1311

that's just capitalism, sorry honey... any real punk would know this (not to be condescending; but what am i supposed to say to a kid who has the circle A pinned to his LEATHER jacket his mummy bought him and doesn't even know who Emma Goldman or Noam Chomsky are?) this is why indie-punk is so important. this is why real indie labels everywhere are so important - to me at least. because they fight this rubbishness.

just because you don't know about any real indie or punk artists cos they're not on mtv or the radio doesn't mean they don't exist. i suggest you stick to words like "garage" or "alternative" that don't have these political connotations. or you could say they're punk-influenced or indie-influenced, or you could say they describe their music as "...", but calling them indie or punk just diverts attention away from genuinely indie-punk bands like Emily's sassy lime, Crass, Fugazi, Bikini Kill, The Mae Shi, Mika Miko, Vaginal Davis, Partyline, Caroliner, Tiny Masters of Today, and Billy Childish, which is wholly irresponsible, misleading, and totally inaccurate. not in a pov way, more in a fundamental violation of the definitions of indie and punk kinda way. but you know you're not gonna do that; you're just gonna try to forget these terrible, terrible things you know they're doing and try to keep pretending they're punk rock84.65.128.143 03:18, 11 June 2007 (UTC)

I hate music snobbery, what is the point of the above attack on yyy's. In todays music culture Indie doesnt just mean being on an Independant label it is a general term used for alternative, post punk and many other genre of guitar based bands.

I think yyy's do come under the Garage Rock/ Art Punk and indie/alternative genres as its clear from their sound. Im not an expert on genres but you are looking FAR too much into it. Postmoderner 19:47, 11 June 2007 (UTC)

you're calling this person a snob for not funding murder by giving all their consumer dollars to a corporation that kills families? nope, indie means "INDEPENDENT", as you can see here: http://www.allmusic.com/cg/amg.dll?p=amg&sql=77:2687. sorry, get your own term and leave ours alone so just because they say they're "indie" on their myspace page, that must mean it's true? i don't think you ever answered the question of what exactly do you think indie means, if it doesn't mean independent? arena rock? haha. why do you think people hate corporations so much? just because they're rich? no, i don't have a problem w/ people being rich - it's what they do to get rich, and as that user said, Vivendi Environment is starving children to death in bolivia, and yyy's is making millions of moneys for them, but who cares? bolivian children don't deserve to live right? who cares about them, dying in their mothers' arms, just so you can listen to a cd? not to mention adidas (who, as i'll repeat, use sweatshop and child labor), for whom the yyy's make advertisments. so punk rock... by the way, as an asian-american, i know how hard it is to find positive punky role-models, but please believe me that someone who does this sorta fiddle faddle isn't one of them. if you want positive asian-punk role-models who actually are indie and punk, i suggest you look up Deerhoof, Lolita no. 18, or as the topic-starter said, Emily's sassy lime. or you can go to myspace and look up this band called Comanechi - they're rad. there's even a place now where minority-punks can get together and talk - just follow the yellow-skinned road on the Afro-punk page, visit the official site and join the minority-punk movement in the forum if you wants

Are you talking to me i didnt say they are Indie beacause it says so on their My Space. I said, which i'll repeat: in the last couple of years Indie especially in the UK has been used to describe "alternative" bands. I agree that in the sense of "Independant" as on an independant label and being against mainstream the yyys are not. Karen O contributed one song to an Adidas add years ago, probably thinking it would raise the band profile, doing it as a favor to a friend, or for the money, I dont know i havent looked into it. I like the band as they are one good Rock band and Karen O is amazing on stage, and for that reason I buy the CDs not to kill kids in poor countries or whatever, sure this shit happens but hey when you buy your coffee, shoes and big TVs there will always be someone way down the line who were only paid buttons for it, not buying CDs from one band wont change that. Im sure the YYYs joined a major label so their music could reach as many people as possible. The Label is not directly responsible for poverty in the 3rd world and i think if it was the case and yyys knew about it they would not continue with the label. removing the term indie in relation to the bands genre will not change the fact they are on a main label.Postmoderner 17:51, 13 June 2007 (UTC)

my shoes are charity shop, i don't own a television, and i don't drink coffee mate (and this computer's in a library, if you're a wonderin' about that - sorry, i'm a dirty freegan peace punk squatter)- not to say i don't understand the point you're trying to make, i really do, and i'm not disputing the fact that karen o's amazing onstage, i'm not even disputing the fact that they make good music cos from what i've heard, they rather do. i will however disagree that the label's not really responsible, cos like it or not, they are all part of the same thing: that's sorta like saying if you have a gun to someone's head, and the index finger pulls the trigger and kills someone, then the rest of the body's not really responsible for the actions of that one finger, yknow? all i'm saying is that calling people like this indie confuses the definition and really distracts attention away from genuinely independent artists who really try so hard, for so little recognition, to stand a chance against the corporate ogre and really don't want to contribute to the various evildoings thereof. i'm sure the yyy's are very nice people in real life, and i'm sure they have no idea what the corporation all of their art belongs to is doing - this is not about good people vs bad people - this is about the machine that's gobbling up the whole fucking planet and turning it into a giant Orwellian mcdonald's, and "indie" and "punk" are supposed to denote those who have the bollocks to stand against it and fight it. as nice as they might be as people, they simply don't do that 84.66.135.167 18:52, 13 June 2007 (UTC)

"Indie rock" originally referred to artists on independent/DIY/no labels. I suppose it could be considered a genre now. The same way the meaning of "emo" seems to have changed in a few short years if not even become synonymous with "hipster" and "indie". It's a product of the marketing/hype rush to assimilate "street" culture. These words are heard and then thrown around and plastered on things in order to sell them.

Wikipedia's own article on Indie Rock would refute any claims that this band was indie rock. Also, page 4 of the April 2006 issue of "The indie review" has an an editorial "When Indie is No Longer 'Indie'" that would agree with the topic starter. 63.170.80.2

About the Show Your Bones tracklist

The Show Your Bones entry had "Deja Vu" as the last track on the album. But from what I've seen from AMG and the CD itself, the album seems to end with "Turn Into". I've changed the entry accordingly. 15:49, 1 April 2006 (UTC)

Deja Vu is not the "last track" it is a bonus track. Its not on all versions of the cd. Heres a version with it here. (chubbstar) 19:50, 26 May 2006 (UTC)

Buddyhead

What, if any, affiliation does this band have with the buddy head label. all i know is that they apear on a couple of buddyhead comp albums.

Why delete band logo?

It states that band logos are acceptable so long as they are tagged accordingly and are uploaded in lower resolution, possibly with minor changes - like i did with the YYY logo. An explanation would be helpful as to why it got deleted. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Maps15 (talk • contribs) 23:12, 10 January 2007 (UTC).

is it "yeah yeah yeahs" or "The yeah yeah yeahs"?

regardless of what appears on their album sleeves (like the ramones), which name do fans call the band? 67.172.61.222 21:46, 2 February 2007 (UTC)

It's "Yeah Yeah Yeahs".I'm 99.8% sure!

Any band whose name is something plural, in practice, people will refer to with the definite article whether the band writes it down or not. Nobody actually communicates about bands like "Do you like Ramones? Yeah, I listen to Ramones all the time." 216.248.123.183 (talk) 03:31, 24 July 2019 (UTC)

I actually think it varies more from artist to artist. Like, take Sleigh Bells. I think it'd be pretty difficult to find any press or review of them that calls them "The Sleigh Bells." Same goes for bands like CHVRCHES, Parquet Courts, and Sparks, among many others. 104.177.148.249 (talk) 20:08, 19 August 2023 (UTC)

External Links

I knocked out the most recent four as spam. The interview with Mark Williams seemed to be devoid of YYY content. Following up the Rolling Stone bands to see link gets to their profile which laughingly has the drummer named as Nick Chase. Wwwhatsup 23:04, 13 August 2007 (UTC)

Rocknoise edits

Rocknoise has rvv'd much of my undo of his earlier edit, which knocked out several worthy contributions. I have in turn rvv'd, instructing him to give reasons here.

I would argue that Their music is a mix of retro styles with heavy rock/punk guitars, synthetic sounds with rhythmic, melodic and bluesy vocals. is pure POV and Some insist, however, that the name Yeah Yeah Yeahs is a reference to Bikini Kill's LP split with Huggy Bear titled Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah is by definition pure speculation, and contradicts the existing cited source. Thirdly that the YYY's chose to return to their roots by keying their new release around a video shot in an Williamsburg art gallery is notable and is hardly linkspam as there's no link involved. Wwwhatsup 02:31, 30 August 2007 (UTC)

There was a citation--Rocknoise 02:48, 30 August 2007 (UTC)

You mean the the Virgin Radio ref? It doesn't say anything about Bikini Kill. Wwwhatsup 04:33, 30 August 2007 (UTC)

Ah, now it becomes clear to me. If you look further down that Virgin Radio page you will read Biography from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia. It may not have been reviewed by a professional editor, and recent changes may not show up straight away. - In other words you were using an earlier version of the article itself as a reference!! That B.Kill thing had been in there, discussed & killed earlier. I've taken out the reference. Wwwhatsup 04:51, 30 August 2007 (UTC)

Name origin

I read in Rolling Stone mag. that the name comes from The Beatles "She loves you, yeah, yeah, yeah" and not from a "NYC vernacular" I have the mag. in my hands, but I can't find it on the web.

- J

Issue #? - date? Who says it? Nick has definitely stated that vernacular was the direct inspiration. Wwwhatsup 19:23, 2 November 2007 (UTC)

All I can say is that the guy has some nerve saying that 'yeah yeah yeah' is 'New York City vernacular', as if people who speak English haven't been saying it all over the world for quite some time. I don't personally think that the origin of the band's name is as fascinating as all that - it's not as amusing a story as the origin of Led Zeppelin's name, for example, or even a story at all. Lexo (talk) 16:56, 4 January 2008 (UTC)

What I want to know is - "vernacular" for *what*? It has to mean something to get that label 82.46.180.56 (talk) 01:25, 28 March 2008 (UTC)

Well. Vernacular for "Yes". And the fact that it s NYC vernacular does not imply that it is an exclusively NYC usage. Wwwhatsup (talk) 05:24, 26 April 2008 (UTC)

User:Sugarcubez has twice entered the info that the name derives from the Huggy Bear / Bikini Kill split LP Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah - his source evidently is based on Wikipedia itself, similar to the case noted above. In fact, checking the date in that page one finds it is Feb 2 2007. Checking the Wikipedia entry for that same date indeed reveals the information, itself referenced to a review of Show Your Bones by Mike Newmark of Vassar College where he makes that assertion. It appears to be pure speculation on his part, and in no way can be considered authoritative. Wwwhatsup (talk)Wwwhatsup (talk) 05:24, 26 April 2008 (UTC)

Plagiarism?

The band Dappled Cities' song "Vision Bell" sounds strikingly similar at 1:50 into the song as Yeah Yeah Yeahs' "Turn Into" at 2:16 in. The Yeah Yeah Yeahs song came out first. It is unclear if this was accidental or intentional on Dappled Cities part, and if the similarities are greater than coincidence.

Grandeandy (talk) 01:15, 21 December 2007 (UTC)

Of no interest as far as the article goes, either way, unless litigation ensues. Wwwhatsup (talk) 01:54, 21 December 2007 (UTC)

Discography

Can we get their EP's listed as well somewhere?

For example, they do have self titled EP "Yeah Yeah Yeahs" —Preceding unsigned comment added by Ycherk04 (talk • contribs) 17:42, June 4, 2009 (UTC)

Their EPs are listed in Yeah Yeah Yeahs discography. Band articles usually list only studio albums, if a separate article for discography exists. Quibik (talk) 17:31, 4 June 2009 (UTC)

Soundtrack work

Should details of individual member soundtrack work be included, it's on the individual articles? That said the mash up of Heads Will Roll w/ Thriller for the 2011 Superbowl edition of Glee might be mentioned.

Guitar Hero and Maps

Come on, guys. Guitar Hero was huge, and Maps was one of the downloads. This deserves at least a mention, right? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.188.10.67 (talk) 08:52, 3 December 2014 (UTC)

GA review

This review is transcluded from Talk:Yeah Yeah Yeahs/GA1. The edit link for this section can be used to add comments to the review.

Nominator: Watagwaan (talk · contribs) 20:11, 20 February 2026 (UTC)

Reviewer: Ceoil (talk) 01:03, 4 April 2026 (UTC)

Unfortunately, I'm not as impressed with this page as I was with Yeah Yeah Yeahs (EP) and Meg White. Bad news is that my impression is that its essentially a long critical reception and awards page, with little bio or career development.

As an example of the problem that I see as endemic, the paragraph "In late 2001, Yeah Yeah Yeahs collaborated with Boss Hog's Jerry Teel" tells us nothing about the writing and recording process, or the music or lyrics, only chart positions and that "reviews were generally favorable". I mean, thats not gripping. And it goes on ans on line this..eg the following tell us nothing about the band, their sound or their musical development:

• Heather Phares from AllMusic called the release "impressive enough in its own right" and "remarkably complete", despite the band's small catalog to that point.[35]
• Show Your Bones was officially announced in January 2006 and described as "what happens when you put your finger in a light socket".[40] Yeah Yeah Yeahs promoted it with a short world tour in early 2006.[41][42] It was released worldwide in March[43] and became their highest entry in the United Kingdom, at number seven.[26]
• Yeah Yeah Yeahs joined All Tomorrow's Parties in 2006, a now-defunct organization from the United Kingdom that promoted independent music through their festivals.[51] During their tenure with the organization, they worked with other acts to curate festival lineups for the UK.[52] After years of financial difficulties, which founder Barry Hogan attributed to their mission of self-funding,[53] All Tomorrow's Parties announced its closure in 2016.[54]

etc. I hope this is not too discouraging as have been been very imprssed by your article work so far, but think you need to change track in your approach here. The approach used at Joy Division, where the article was almost written as a type of "bio" (rather than a discussion of achievements and accolades) might be something to try, from what bio info you can find in the sources. Most importantly, for each album section...say something about the recording, give descriptions about the music overall and describe the lead singles.

GA isn't time-bound, so will keep this open in the expectation of looked-forward to improvement. Talk later. Ceoil (talk) 23:30, 5 April 2026 (UTC)

Me and @Ceoil talked about this on our talk pages and I made edits accordingly, pinging here so we can move the discussion here — what says you? 👀 Watagwaan (talk) 00:11, 12 April 2026 (UTC)

• @Ceoil and Watagwaan: Where does this nomination stand? Is this ready to be promoted? If not, what else needs to be done? Z1720 (talk) 14:14, 10 May 2026 (UTC)

Please keep open, I intend to do a full review. Ceoil (talk) 16:00, 10 May 2026 (UTC)

To be clear, the nomiator prioritised the Yeah Yeah Yeahs (EP) article for FAC which is why this review stalled. But it will be reactivated shortly. Ceoil (talk) 16:47, 10 May 2026 (UTC)

Thank you @Z1720 and @Ceoil for bringing this back to my attention! Sorry, I did entirely forget. Watagwaan? I really like the color red! 19:52, 10 May 2026 (UTC)

Hi Watagwaan, see that the article has improved since my intitial commests; here are some more gripes:

• The lead image is too indistinct and hard to make out. Suggest cropping or choosing something that shows the band closer up.
• Also, the other images are too small. Strongly advise adding "upright=1.2" to all as here. Ceoil (talk) 22:06, 11 June 2026 (UTC)
• Often sentences are too long and have run-on clauses. Can you audit and apply scissors so that only two claims are made per sentence.
• Avoid false titles like "Music journalist Mark Beaumont", and say instead "The music journalist..." Ceoil (talk) 22:06, 11 June 2026 (UTC)
• The notes "The band's own record label" and "Zinner is credited as a guitarist, and there is no mention of a bassist in the liner notes of Fever to Tell" are uncited. Both could be worked into the text.
• Avoid unnecessary and excitable "journalese" words - eg "was ultimately released in March 2009"
• More journalese: "The record spawned three singles" - three singles were released from...
• They rose to fame during the rock movements - "Garage rock and post-punk revival movement" surely
• the single "Maps", which became the band's signature song - would go with "their best-known song" (which avoids the "sea of blue links" problem many leads face
• In the Legacy section, the para beginning "Fever to Tell and It's Blitz! are included in varying editions of the book 1001 Albums You Must Hear Before You Die" is just a list of stats and sort of unreadable. Can you zoom out and proseify...
• Have edited it out, but best to avoid press-release type language like "Following the It's Blitz! shows, Karen O announced in December 2011 that they were working". The word "announced" is very much a red flag, especially for smaller bands where the fact is added by a record company go-for and there are not many editors watching....and the statement of intent soon becomes hopelessly out of date :( Ceoil (talk) 22:42, 11 June 2026 (UTC)
• Expect to pass this as GA, but given it's heading towards FA might be more stringent. So more to follow Ceoil (talk) 23:10, 11 June 2026 (UTC)

  @Ceoil this is probably NOT going for FA LOL I don't think it's anywhere near ready, I basically expanded the article from a few sentences and I don't think it's quite there... GA yes but FA I don't think it's as good as like, say the Meg White article or their self-titled EP. I'm fixing the rest of the bullet points you presented as we speak! Watagwaan? I really like the color red! 01:08, 12 June 2026 (UTC)

  I'm pushing you. If you want this would pass after a source review. Ceoil (talk) 01:18, 12 June 2026 (UTC)

  @Ceoil You really think so? I appreciate it! I could try after Meg White; I want to push that for FAC first after getting this article to GA. For now, would you check back on that last paragraph in the Legacy section? I edited it but I'm not sure if that's what you wanted. Watagwaan? I really like the color red! 01:59, 12 June 2026 (UTC)

• Apologies, "would pass GA" is what I meant. This article is a bit, but not hugely, off FAC level yet. Meg White is much closer. Ceoil (talk) 09:54, 12 June 2026 (UTC)

  Okay then, let me know what else to fix before you pass this, and then we could work on Meg White? If you're not busy of course! @Ceoil Watagwaan? I really like the color red! 18:37, 12 June 2026 (UTC)

• Sounds like a plan. Starting a source review shortly. Ceoil (talk) 23:18, 12 June 2026 (UTC)

• These sources might need defending re reliability

• Zobbel.de
• HitQuarters
• Ticketnews.com
• Not sure "They donated $1 of every pre-order of Cool It Down towards ClientEarth as part of their activism against climate change.[106]" is worth including
• You're still using the very old-fashioned Cite web ref format, which is incredibly badly coded, invasive and long-winded, and makes reading text in edit mode frustrating and hard. Not suggesting you switch format for this article, but for the mother of god can you use snf or something less obtrusive for future articles :)
• ps the Guardian headline and Zinner quote "There are too many whiny bands" is hilarious and totally jibes with my view of the period. Ceoil (talk) 23:28, 12 June 2026 (UTC)

Zobbel.de was okay in Yeah Yeah Yeahs (EP), removed Ticketnews.com since we didn't need it. The thing with the Hitquarters source is that it's one of the only interviews about It's Blitz! from that period, and from the perspective of their producer... they did weeklyinterviews until they went defunct with industry figures so I think it's viable.

I believe including a sentence about donating $1 of every pre-order towards ClientEarth is important because it is an example of their activism.

My mistake for the Cite web thing, I really don't know how to use sfn outside of book references LOL

The "too many whiny bands" thing is true but I still love the period, I grew up in it!

@Ceoil let me know what you think! Watagwaan? I really like the color red! 00:22, 13 June 2026 (UTC)

Fine. I'll do a spot check on text-to-source integrity later tonight, and that should close it out. Ceoil (talk) 03:29, 13 June 2026 (UTC)

Sealings

1. The 2 sources I provided DO MENTION the song present in Driver PL. For starters, a professional gaming magazine. https://www.gamesindustry.biz/driver-parallel-lines-a-huge-soundtrack-for-the-big-city-streets "as well as exclusives from newer acts like the Yeah Yeah Yeahs"

Also in every OST list: https://vgost.fandom.com/wiki/Driver:_Parallel_Lines https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0795374/soundtrack/ https://ringostrack.com/movie/driver-parallel-lines/91948

2. Everyone who played the game know for a fact that song was in game in 2006 already, and not just simply in game, but played in plot-important cutscene https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZKCZuaS7H-U&t=12482s (3 Hours 28 Minutes mark)

3. You could ask whoever responsible for Driver PL on Wikipedia whether the song was in game

4. This music website mentions "cold leftovers (i.e. rejects from their studio recordings)" https://exclaim.ca/music/article/yeah_yeah_yeahs-sealings So it's not 2007 even by that source (as if facts not enough)

Please do not revert objective facts, thanks. ~2026-33107-51 (talk) 11:52, 5 June 2026 (UTC)

Firstly, if you're ready to start a talk page discussion, you shouldn't also revert another editor and engage in edit warring—that shows a lack of good faith on your part.

Second, in your edits (here, here, and here), you never provided a new source to support your claim—you simply moved the Stereogum ref up, so please don't claim that you provided anything new.

https://www.gamesindustry.biz/driver-parallel-lines-a-huge-soundtrack-for-the-big-city-streets does not mention "Sealings", https://exclaim.ca/music/article/yeah_yeah_yeahs-sealings is from 2007, imdb is not a reputable source, so all you've got left is https://vgost.fandom.com/wiki/Driver:_Parallel_Lines. This isn't nothing, but needless to say, I'm not impressed by your comportment up to now. @User:Watagwaan, what are your thoughts on this? Revirvlkodlaku (talk) 14:33, 5 June 2026 (UTC)

I'm cool with wording it as "Also in 2007, the band contributed "Sealings" to the soundtrack…" and just leaving it be. As cool as it would be to include the game soundtrack tidbit, it seems like we don't have a reliable source for it. But also, whatever you decide @Revirvlkodlaku, I'm onboard and support it wholeheartedly. Watagwaan? I really like the color red! 17:03, 5 June 2026 (UTC)

Thanks for the endorsement. I realize that the fandom.com source is from 2006, and it would be hard to retcon that (maybe?), so it's likely correct. Then again as a fan wiki, its reliability is low. I guess I'm a bit torn on this. Revirvlkodlaku (talk) 00:23, 6 June 2026 (UTC)

It's probably correct, but we don't have a reliable source to back it up. No major news outlets or anything reported on it, so I'm going to go ahead and change the wording to my previous suggestion. It's fair since it doesn't specify when it was written, just the supported fact that "Sealings" appeared on the Spiderman 3 soundtrack. Hope this stops the edit warring from ~2026-33107-51.
