You won't hear the end of the TPS references because the two sound EXACTLY fucking alike. Have you ever sat down and listened to The Postal Service? If lyrics are the biggest difference you can think of, your argument doesn't hold much water. <br><br>They don't just happen to be "electronic". They both just "happen" to feature scattery, but intricate 505 beats, blippy bass and twinkly, sparkly bleeps that accompany them, and a vocalist who either is or could pass for Ben Gibbard. The bottom line is, you cannot tell me for one second that this band could have ever existed if your hero in Owl City had not heard the Postal Service first. Are you kidding me?

Enough is enough with the Postal Service comparison. TPS did not invent the genre and have you even ever actually sat down and listened to Owl City? The lyrics are more poetic and lighthearted than those of TPS. Yes, they have some similarities, get over it. And by the way, you aren't clever for tossing out that same TPS joke.<br><br>Musicians do not live in a vacuum and they take a little bit of everything they hear into their music along with their own personal touch. Thats the way music is. To say Owl City is a rip off just because they both happen to be electronic, is absurd. Seriously? Enough is enough with the Postal Service comparison.
