- COIN, wallows, vampire weekend, HUNNY, saint motel, wet leg, of montreal, local natives
- the black keys, the white stripes, OK Go, blur, the fratellis, franz ferdinand, klaxons, dandy warhols
- passion pit, fitz and the tantrums, GROUPLOVE, phoenix, empire of the sun

The album Suburban Light might be less upbeat, but I think they were a precursor to Real Estate.
The band Beach Fossils also have a related sound, and I bet they are Real Estate fans.
I’d also say early Mac Demarco, the albums II and Salad Days. Unknown Mortal Orchestra’s II as well.

i had it for a little over a year until i was like wow this is actually terrible! i genuinely think it has negatively impacted society by ruining people’s attention spans, having a horrific algorithm, and most of all by the most mind-numbing or outright harmful trends -
fake words that people now use IRL (“unalive”), trad wife tiktok, shein hauls, body-focused fitness vids that encourage fatphobia and unhealthy habits, shallow political/feminist theory and queer discourse, “alpha male” podcaster tiktok, encouraging overconsumption in general, trends ruining local spots or niche things… the list goes on
