What does "the shins" mean?

The Shins N.Another extremely overrated indie band, unfortunatley made famous by the "tries way to hard to seem indie and quirky" movie Garden State. With a couple nice songs were deemed the god of "indie bands" Their song New Slang featured in the movie, was called "a song that would change your life" although hardly anyone knows what the song is even about, but you seem to meet a lot of Shins fans who like them because it seemed cool.

Shins Fan: That movie was right, New Slang like changes your life. All of The Shins songs their songs are so good.

Me: Whats so life changing? Do you even understand the lyrics?

Shins Fan, singing to the song: "New slang when you notice the stripes..."

The shins - definition

An amazing indie band. Best band of all time. A great band that became too popular because of Garden State! They currently live in Portland. Albums include "Oh, Inverted World" and "Chutes Too Narrow." (Both are great!)

Me: I love The Shins!
Random 1: Who are they?
Random 2: Oh, I heard them on Garden State!
Me: Fuck.

The shins

A really good, not well-known indie band. Also, the only band I have ever known to feature communist penguins in their music videos.

'Tis true you know. Watch the video for "So Says I".


Really though, The Shins are good.
