Garage rockIndie rock

Yeah Yeah Yeahs is a Garage rock and Indie rock act. Their sound grew out of Amanda Blank, Dr. Dooom, The White Stripes, The Strokes and TV on the Radio. Those roots explain a lot about how Yeah Yeah Yeahs arrange songs and choose their tones. They run in the same orbit as TV on the Radio, The Kills, Karen O, Arcade Fire and Wolf Alice, sharing audiences, venues and reference points rather than a straight line of influence. Their influence carried into Geese, Freya Ridings, Lola Kirke, MØ and Courteeners, where the same ideas turn up rearranged for a later generation. Altogether the chart holds 68 connections around Yeah Yeah Yeahs, reaching back through Amanda Blank and forward to Geese.
