Deliberately created rather than arising naturally or spontaneously.
Giving a sense of artificiality.


The same could be said for any and all music on the radio. Sometimes it's fun to crawl out from under the rock known as "indie" and just enjoy some awesome Earthy music that was created with basically no intention of succeeding.

Do you think M&S thought they would get to perform with Bob Dylan 2 years ago? No. They may have shared some commercial success but it came from a very natural place. Me thinks. And that is after much research on the roots of the group.


The Lumineers may very well be a ripoff of Fun. or Mumford & Sons, however.
