This was a stellar year for Indie Pop. The year I started following the Alt chart once more.
1) What songs do you expect to be in the bottom 10? Hip hop crossovers and ugly vocals.
2) What songs do you expect to have high standard deviations? The huge Indie Pop ones from Lorde, Bastille, Fitz and Tantrums, Capital Cities, Nighbourhood, because it pissed off hard core Alt rockers.
3) What songs do you expect to have low standard deviations? Artists favorites like Green Day. They never fail.
4) Which artist(s) do you expect to dominate this rankdown? See #2.
5) Which artist(s) do you expect to flop in this rankdown? Anything resembleing EDM.
6) What songs do you expect to be in the top 10? see #2

I have a lot to say but I'll wait for the results to start.
And yes, we are being trolled, as one member participated in this for the sole purpose of pissing us off.

Mr. Zac Lord, as quoted here. Oh honey, you can't hold the rock posters to the same standard that you hold me and zaclord 🌈 ... They are a tender people, raised in a culture where both the fans AND the artists are afflicted with severe emotional vulnerability. The keystone species are especially prone to microagressions and doltishness when faced with disagreement from outsiders, and are likely to react in an over-the-top fashion when they feel that their territory has been threatened. You should sit back and allow them to attack you for ranking things wrong. It's what you deserve for expressing your opinions, you son of a bitch! I'll participate in the next Alternative rankdown to back you up boo .indulgecountry

Alright finally got my list together. This was a very interesting year for alt, it's argueably the poppiest in the chart's existence and whether you got a hit or not felt like more of a crapshoot then ever. Strangely, I don't hate anything on here too much, and I actually had trouble picking a #100 -- I ended up deciding on something that'll probably get me thrashed by many of the rock posters, but I've just never gotten this band and this song is no exception. It would be probably only be bottom 5 in a different year though. I also am not as passionate about my top 5 on this then other years, but I think that's largely because I'm already familiar with many of the big hits from this year and this I'm already burned out on them. Much of my top 10 (and even a couple songs outside of my top 10) I've been obsessed with at some point, I'm just burned out on them now. My #1 is no exception to this, but I chose to put it as #1 as its one of my favorite songs off one of my favorite albums by one of my favorite bands, and I've probably listened to it more then any other song on here, so the fact that I still like it as much as I do is amazing.

but that doesn't mean he's putting in his list specifically to counter your picks he's literally just participating he is not "just participating", he is participating for nefarious reasons. his usage of the phrase "back you up" is what sets off all the red flags, because his sole reason for participating is to "back [him] up", and what he means by that is supporting all the poppy songs, as that is what Indulge supports, and he feels Indulge is an outsider in this rankdown, so he is joining his side of the popsters. I don't think he's specifically countering my picks, but he is definitely taking the poppier side and countering the hard rock songs. Again, he is only participating to "back [him] up". Those three words tell all.

My #100 was so obviously my #100. It was my #100 back in 2013, too. If you remember anything of what I posted in 2013, you'll know what my #100 is.

1). C2C and Alt-J seem like safe bets. Just heard the C2C song for what might be the first time (I say that because I feel like I've heard it in a commercial before)...the instrumental is decent French house. It's the sampling that annoys me a bit...how did this make the year-end top 100? Where did it peak at?

(and speaking of songs that I've heard in commercials...I've heard "Pumpin' Blood" in a bunch of them, but never knew what it was actually called until now)

1) What songs do you expect to be in the bottom 10? Pretty sure Down The Road is a lock for bottom 10. I wouldn't be surprised to see Matt and Kim, Alt-J, Ways To Go & Cabin By The Sea at the bottom 10. 2) What songs do you expect to have high standard deviations? My #1 will have high SD as I'm 99% sure that someone ranked it at #100. Also pretty sure my #2 & #5 will have really high SD. Also Safe and Sound might be a contender for highest SD. 3) What songs do you expect to have low standard deviations? The bottom 10 usually have low SD, so probably the songs that will be in it. 4) Which artist(s) do you expect to dominate this rankdown? Muse (?) & Silversun Pickups. 5) Which artist(s) do you expect to flop in this rankdown? Alt-J, Matt and Kim. 6) What songs do you expect to be in the top 10? Get Lucky, Come a little closer, The pit. Maybe Been Away Too Long & 17 Crimes could place really high too?

I wouldn't have wasted my time with this if I didn't love alternative music. I'm just here to talk about some good (and bad) alternative music and peacefully respect people's opinion's that differ from my own.

There will be a slight delay because I'm still compiling the list with the new lists I've received. But when I'm done, we'll start. No more lists will be accepted at this point.

Also, I'll answer this quickly before the Rankdown starts:
1) What songs do you expect to be in the bottom 10? -- Can't say for certain, but one song better be there...
2) What songs do you expect to have high standard deviations? -- "Thrift Shop", "Wake Me Up"...wouldn't surprise me if "Royals" ends up with a high SD.
3) What songs do you expect to have low standard deviations? -- This is one that might be impossible to guess, but a good bet is a song that has a lot of known rock support. QOTSA, perhaps?
4) Which artist(s) do you expect to dominate this rankdown? -- I don't expect any one artist to "dominate", though Muse might get two top tens if the support is there for "Madness" and "Panic Station".
5) Which artist(s) do you expect to flop in this rankdown? -- Macklemore might have a tough time.
6) What songs do you expect to be in the top 10? -- I don't have any expectations or true predictions for the top 10, but I will say this: Don't look past "The Pit". When we did the top 10s for SSPU last year, "The Pit" made all but one of the lists. It's generally a well-liked song. It would not surprise me if it pulls a Seether.
