Be the first kid on your block to drop some serious white boy knowledge. Who else can they turn to so they don't confuse the Black Kids with the Cool Kids?

Black Kids

Album: Partie Traumatic

Sounds like: The love child of The Killers and The Go! Team. And The Cure. A little.

Cool Kids

Album: The Bake Sale

Sounds like: Golden age rappers EPMD trapped in a giant bong listening to chopped & screwed hip hop.

Cut Copy

Album: In Ghost Colours

Sounds like: Synth-heavy new wave like New Order and Pet Shop Boys. But less gay. A little less gay.

Foals

Album: Antidotes

Sounds like: A new wave take on Battles. Or disco punk meets math rock. But sensitive.

Girl Talk

Album: Feed the Animals

Sounds like: Hundreds of rap and rock samples thrown into a blender. Served on the rocks.

Kidz In The Hall

Album: The In Crowd

Sounds like: The Clipse, if they worshipped Pete Rock and Kanye instead of Scarface.

MGMT

Album: Oracular Spectacular

Sounds like: Classic rock. Now with drum machines and synthesizers. And sass.

My Morning Jacket

Album: Evil Urges

Sounds like: A '70s country rock band frozen and then thawed out in 2008 to destroy dance rock.

Ratatat

Album: LP3

Sounds like: Music from a '90s video game re-recorded with guitars and synths.

Wale

Album: The Mixtape About Nothing

Sounds like: A laid-back Kanye West mixed with a brainy Lil Wayne.
