Is neutral milk hotel real? I thought that name was made up for a bit on Parks and Rec.

Yes, a real band. They were really popular among the indie-folk-pop set around the turn of the last century. The bit on parks and rec was just a way to establish April’s character as ‘too cool for all you bitches’.
Pretty good stuff if garage studio music is your jam, but if you haven’t heard them yet, they may sound derivative because they did influence a lot of later stuff in that genre.
