Your Definition
A certain type of musical artist oriented toward "hipsters" and those who love them. This term was largely coined by the blog [Hipster Runoff] and then co-opted into the music blogosphere. These bands tend to attract a huge amount of hype, most [importantly] from Pitchfork leading up to their debut album, or in some cases, their second album that is supposed to represent a major advance on the first. Then, Pitchfork gives them a 9.1 or whatever and everyone flips out, and the "buzzband" becomes, at least, just another band. Recent examples of buzzbands include Tapes 'n' Tapes, Grimes, [Vampire Weekend], The xx, Cults, Fleet Foxes, and most recently, CHVRCHES.
