college music


term coined by beavis and b-tt-head, refers to music in the 80s and 90s that was somewhere between alternative and artsy-fartsy, usually involving pretentious lyrics, too-artistic camera shots, and whiny or disinterested vocals. this music evolved into indie rock.
from the show:

the flaming lips
violent femmes
the dead milkmen
… and many others
