I never had the idea that this song portrayed Brandon's general feelings, I always thought he was paying out the indie mentality with this song.
To clear it up, a quote from Brandon Flowers:
"The song is very misunderstood, especially in America. I hear people think we're trying to be indie… Not a moment in my life has been spent trying to be indie. It's embarrassing when you think about it that way. I feel I need to put a memo out: Look at the lyrics! It's ironic!"
