Maybe your friend invited you to a shabby local rock club and you ended up having a religious experience with Neutral Milk Hotel. Perhaps you were scandalised and tantalised upon sneaking Liz Phair's \u003cem\u003eExile in Guyville\u003c\/em\u003e from an older sibling's CD collection, or you vowed to download every Radiohead song you could find on Limewire because they were the favourite band of the guy you had a major crush on.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eHowever you found your way into indie rock, once you were a listener, it felt like being part of a secret club of people who had discovered something special, something superior. In \u003cem\u003eSuch Great Heights\u003c\/em\u003e, music journalist Chris DeVille brilliantly captures this cultural moment, from the early aughts and the height of indie rock, until the 2010s as streaming rocks the industry and changes music forever.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eDeVille covers the gamut of bands and, in the vein of Chuck Klosterman's \u003cem\u003eThe Nineties\u003c\/em\u003e, touches on staggering pop culture moments like sharing music recommendations via AOL Instant Messenger and the life-changing \u003cem\u003eOC\u003c\/em\u003e soundtrack. Nerdy, fun, and a time machine for millennials, \u003cem\u003eSuch Great Heights\u003c\/em\u003e is about how subculture becomes pop culture, how capitalism consumes what's \"cool,\" about who gets to define what's hip and how, and how an \"underground\" genre shaped our lives.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Ingram Book Company","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46837360984300,"sku":"9781250363381","price":60.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/4548743482633.jpg?v=1758607069","url":"https:\/\/bookhero.co.nz\/products\/such-great-heights-by-chris-deville-9781250363381","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
