A great band if you're a teenager living in the states, having 'panic! at the disco'or 'fall out boy' shoved down your throat. Fresh lyrics and sound, perhaps a bit overrated and most certainly not nearly groundbreaking or inventive enough to be the next 'beatles'. If you're interested in great bands from the UK, check out the Kaiser Chiefs or The Kooks.
Person 1: Man, I'm so sick of stupid emo boys with no balls wearing girl pants and eyeliner.
Person 2: Listen to the Arctic Monkeys, they're so much better.
Person 1: Nah, I'll go listen to the Kaiser Chiefs

A decent Band, with good musicains,ok songs, and sour sounding lyrics, they are quite good, but heavly over rated, there nothing that new, to music, yet everyone seems to beleive so, its just melodic indie\garage, with sheffield accents and spots,also drink fosters, honestly who drinks fosters anyway.
NME-"the arctic monkeys are the best thing to happen to music since the smiths, or the beatles"
Me-"just no"
NME-"but.."

Verb
1. To pretend to have the same superficial interests as a person, with the goal to have sex with them. Coined for the pretentious tastes that many art hoes and alt girls have, including the band Arctic Monkeys.
Guy 1: "Bro this pink-haired chick let me smash last night after I told her I liked Steven Universe"
Guy 2: "Dude you totally arctic monkey'd her!"

A poor over rated indie band increasing the rapid pace of the decline of Indie music in Britain along with other bands such as 'The Kaiser Chiefs', 'Razorshite' and 'Babyshambles'.
They have a great following of people who are completely stupid and have no musical knowledge at all who often claim that they are the next Beatles. How dare they blaspheme in this way. Their lyrics consist of working class sheffield slang and go something along these lines: 'I bet you dont yu know mardy bum on the dance floor of san fransisco, scummy man!' yes all their songs sound completely the same and they're all rubbish!
Stupid fuck: LIKE OMG OMG WTF LOL! THE ARCTIC MONKEYS ARE LIKE SOO KOOL!!!!!!1111one THER LYRICS LIKE MEAN SO MUCH TO ME! THEY ARE LIKE SO THE NEXT BEATLES!
Any person with an average amount of brain cells: Do you know who the Beatles are?
Stupid fuck: YEH THEY WROTE THAT NURSERY RHYME DIDNT THEY, YELLOW SUBMARINE!
Any person with an average amount of brain cells: Pass me my gun.

An overrated music act, who are apart of the English Indie Pop Punk scene. They engulf the listener in a muffled warble of sound, with no distinguishable notes. They are currently gaining alot of credit, but will eventually fade out to second rate musicians due to the hype of their first cd, "Whatever People Say I Am, That's What I'm Not", and their inability to create proper music.
The cd title itself, also denotes the band with a pretentious label. It displays them trying to be the 'outcasts' of the music industry, even though there are currently twenty something other bands making it big who sound and act exactly like them.
However, the Arctic Monkeys do have the potential to be good. The lead singer has a fairly decent voice, so if they actually focused on making music and not noise, then who knows, they may actually be good.
Arctic Monkeys are extremely overrated.
