If you mean their overall attitude, then your mistaking pretentiousness for over confidence, bordering on cockiness.
Both are typical Mancunians with more front than Blackpool.
It goes beyond confidence and ****iness when you continuously state explicitly that you're the greatest rock band on earth and label the entire indie scene as worthless and unimportant simply for being indie and "small-time". That's getting into the realms of ideology.
