@@startervisions what? Artists like James Ferraro, Ariel Pink, Oneohtrix Point Never, and John Maus have been making hypnogagic pop for decades now, and it absolutely has a defined and specific sound and aesthetic that draws heavily from psychedelia and hauntology, and is defined by the satirical use of 70s-90s (but mostly 80s) aesthetics and pop culture. It also includes artists like jack stauber and windows96 that get grouped into the weirdcore "genre", except weirdcore also includes stuff like slowed and reverb edits, digital hardcore, video game soundtracks, vaporwave, meme mashups, drum and bass, hyperpop, ect. Idk it just seems like more of an aesthetic popular on the internet right now than a music genre, it's like if you made "frutiger aero" a genre by making playlists with various songs that fit the vibe of the images in the slideshow. Because that's exactly how weirdcore became a thing. It's cool, but not a genre, if anything you could call it an umbrella term like "indie", but I don't even know about that tbh

Yeah I saw them in Glasgow years ago and they were brilliant. An Awesome Wave was a ridiculously good debut honestly, there's not a bad song on the album. I can see why some people are turned off because they find it pretentious, but they take it so far that it becomes endearing. Combining flamboyantly poetic language with filthy innuendo and metaphors about weird unromantic objects like crisp packets is objectively funny.

It’s hard to believe that anyone wouldn’t see Pumped Up Kicks going big but I guess that’s the nostalgia talking. It really is a testament to the talent though, that you could write a song with those lyrics and concept and have it explode like it did. Like I still love it now it hasn’t gotten stale to me or been ruined by what the world became after. It’s just so good. It feels good to listen to but the lyrics aren’t what you’d expect. It’s so bizarre and there will never be another song like it because it’s something that can only be done on accident

This has been an absolutely wild blast from my teens, but I also have to say I saw the Arctic Monkeys *very* early in their career and they were *so godawful* like truly baad. But I saw them again later and they had really found their style and groove.
@lewismason6842 11 ай бұрын
I know this is such a late reply, but the Arctic Monkeys had no stage presence to begin with. The crowd singing along was what made their live performances, they had the charisma of a wet sock; just kind of standing there - little to no crowd interaction. I always thought Alex Turner just had permanent stage fright. They found something during S.I.A.S and A.M. The music was great, and even though it was a cheesy kind of British Elvis frontman that played songs that reflected working class teenage/young adult angst it worked. Then T.B.H.A.C and T.C arrived and he's morphed into a jazz lounge crooner, which works with those songs but just doesn't quite work with anything before Tranquillity Base.

@slllloraxxx Жыл бұрын
This whole bracket was a trip, I remember this era fondly as a fresh graduate from university from before the recession, the whiplash from hearing trashy EDM pop to early trap to electro clash to indie songs like 1901 in the same night going out, going to grad school in 2010 and having my only outlet being DJing at the student radio station and befriending the younger undergrads and seeing the gradual bubbling of this type of indie music, to leaving the states in early 2012 and seeing those Fun. and Gotye songs being sung by drunken British expats at an expat bar and not realizing that they were genuine billboard chart hits (nor how much of it were used in commercials). Maybe not my favorite kind of music overall, aside from some absolute bops, but really fond memories overall. Also Empire of the Sun is just a Great Value Fischerspooner.
