Very little in music can be truely "original". I dont think interpol being post british punk revival is really jumping on much of a bandwagon, Yes post punk/garage revival has become almost a cliche now but what they have done with those influences is pretty original within itself (non bias, not a interpol listener)
Id say my most disapointing bandwagon jump was metallica jumping onto the alternative bandwave, forming "alternica" and producing the black album and so forth.
Recently locally in perth western australia, luke steele of the sleepy jacksons who I am quite the fan of teamed up with some ****head from a electronic outfit called pnau. Selling out quality alternative to ride the UNSTOPPABLE wave of ****ty "electro" music that is plaguing australia.
