The MTVu Woodies happened last night, and this is probably the first time u have ever heard of them. Like all awards shows, they don't really mean anything, and just produce pictures + videos of ppl trying to look like they have 'made it.'
Here are some pictures of bands that are both 'trying to be alt/indie' by attending, but also trying to 'go mainstream' and get called up to the 'Big Leagues of MTV' so that they can sell records 2 Middle American +Altweens.
Donald Glover apparently hosted the show. He is a wannabe relevant rapper who is totally entry level because he just raps sillie lyrics over indie band samples. He is sorta like the prototypical entry-level NBC comedian who thinks he is more relevant + funnie + creative than he is when he is actually just on an overhyped NBC comedy that no1 watches except for losers who stream things on Hulu.
Speaking of alt indie negro rapp, here is the popular rap crew Odd Future. I guess MTV is trying to 'get in on the ground floor' like many indie tastemaking sources 2 say 'we created them' too by inviting them 2 this event.
Here is Das Racist wondering why they didn't get as much #swag buzz as Odd Future bc they are 'indie rappers' too. Must not be black enough.
Speaking of alt rappers from the 'Negro Leagues of Indie', here is Lil B.
Amber Rose dumped Kanye for some other 2nd tier buzz rapper.
Pete Wentz thinks he is helping his alt brand by attending the Woodies
The alt tween from the MTV show 'My Life as Liz' is still trying to escape from rural Texas suburbia sprawl and live a meaningful life as an alt tween celeb.
Apparently they hired alt Corey Feldman to DJ
Not sure why the Foo Fighters were there.
Sleigh Bells dressing like kewl high school tweens
Check out Kim from Matt & Kim finally 'learning her role' and trying to dress 'like a woman.'

Is a Woodie the most prestigious indie honor in indie?
Are all of these bands just trying to go mnstrm on MTV?
Are these just overground buzzbands?
