They seem like hipsters to me (without any added pejorative). Would that be correct?

‘Somewhere Over The Rainbow’ is a prime example of AABA with an outro.

The rhythms are hugely complex in how they build up and break down. It’s these wave-like swells and drops that dictate how your body is going to move on the dancefloor. For the brainless dancefloor filler, structure is everything.

I doubt if there’s a single person here who undervalues The Clean’s beauty, their vivid guitar storms punctuated by trebly guitar excess and bursts of down-home, deprecating humour.
