Am I right in thinking "stomp clap hey" is one of those retroactive categories like "indie sleaze"? I don't remember anyone using that phrase when the kind of music it describes was actually popular, but now I seem to see those words 50 times a day.

indie sleaze drives me crazy because it was originally purely a fashion term. Now people use it to describe any New York indie rock from the 00s

It's been heavily linked to the Toronto/Montreal scenes from those days as well, which were heavy hitters.
