Because they are representative of "scenes" that try to separate themselves from one another as much as possible?
Hat:
I like Bon Iver and the Killers, and Soundtracks aren't really typically bound by genre or scene except when the movie seeks to actively reinforce these boundaries.
Maybe this is a good sign that these kids, despite the fact that they obviously have dogshit taste in literature, are finally getting over this bullshit distinction between 'scenes' and just learning to like music that they like? I know when The Killer's Hot Fuss came out I actively disliked them for no good reason other than that they weren't in my scene and their singles were massively overplayed, and then last year I actually gave the whole album a listen and wound up really liking them.
What I am saying is there are a lot of weird artificial distinctions put on music that obstruct the ability of some people who are maybe a little too fashion-conscious to enjoy them and if these are slowly dissolving it is a good thing

I don't really listen to any of them woooo
I'm not related in any way to a tween movie yay
SWOON! at My Gravitas:
If you read the front of Stephanie Meyer's books, she acknowledges many of the artists there as her favorites. Though I guess they decided to leave Linkin Park out of the soundtrack. I dunno what's worse, her taste in music, or the fact that I like several of the artists up there as well.
...Not that I've ever read a book by Stephanie Meyer.

This I agree with, I guess I just wasn't it expecting to start happening so soon.
