Group structure

  1. Brief introductions
  2. Four people get ten minutes to:
    a) play a song they enjoy
    b) give a short presentation on what they like about the song.
  3. All attendees rate and discuss the song based on eight criteria (see below).
  4. At the end of the group, the song that gets the best overall rating is crowned winner for the week.

For the sake of keeping a unified group where people can at least partially agree on what “high quality” music is, this group purposely sets a musical constraint: Attendees must present songs that reasonably fall under the categories of indie and folk rock. There is no absolute definition, but here is how ChatGPT defines Indie music: Indie Rock is characterized by its DIY (do-it-yourself) ethos, emphasizing creativity, individuality, and a departure from mainstream conventions. It often features raw, unpolished sounds, a focus on songwriting, and experimentation with different musical styles, blending elements of rock, pop, punk, folk, and other genres.
