Now that Arcade Fire owns the world, it was only a matter of time — in this case, less than 12 hours — before someone created Who Is Arcade Fire??!!?, a collection of Facebook and Twitter posts expressing the titular question in varying degrees of rage. So far, highlights include:

"Yeah. Who is Arcade Fire?! Compared to Gaga... no one."

"Congratulations to all 10 people in the world who have ever heard of Arcade Fire before." (Ed. note: Thank you.)

"How can this group get album of the year when they didn't even have as many top 10s as Gaga. Did this group even have a number 1 hit?" (Ed. note: No, actually.)

"What is an Arcade Fire and why are people excited for it?"

And the genuinely confused:
The Grammy people have lost their mind... Who are the Suburbs and how in heck did they win album of the year?"
