No it isn't. They realise they are not the greatest band ever. The cocky attitude doesn't work in Indie music that's been proven.
Countless bands have started to think they are the shit after getting signed to a minor label, acting arrogant, walking off stage, telling fans to fvck off etc. That never works and they always cock up whatever little talent they had and soon they are no more.
SnowPatrol got to where they are by playing gigs for anyone/anywhere whenever they wanted it. They wouldn't have came out of Belfast city with a record contract if they were arrogant.
I get your point but bad example.
