Indie music was a little reminder that people had hearts and souls, then indie went mainstream after Juno came out, and we got Imagine Dragons and all the shitty Arcade Fire knockoffs, and that's what you're really complaining about.

|
Date: June 6th, 2025 12:03 PM Author: Maroon Mad Cow Disease What's kooky is that Bon Iver had exactly one really successful record, his first, and it was largely based off the success of exactly one radio single, a song called Skinny Love which Millennial women really liked because they thought it was about the idea that if they got skinny people would love them.
His entire career was a forcememe after that. He never wrote another hit or had a successful record again. His vocals were "just a vibe" and his stuff would play in the background and you would recognize his distinctive voice but nobody could actually name one other song he wrote.
Sufjan was the same except he never had any hits to begin with. |

Date: June 6th, 2025 10:31 AM Author: hateful flushed police squad the stomp clap hey shit op mentions are the arcade fire knockoffs. or maybe knockoffs of the knockoffs.
i agree that mainstream music was really shitty for a while there but the indie stuff got old really quick. as soon as they started having weird instruments like banjo, accordion, or “fiddle” it became really faggy. arcade fire was always like that. modest mouse for example was a great, non faggy band at one point but they ended up like that by 2003 or so too |

Date: June 6th, 2025 12:10 PM Author: mustard bawdyhouse I do believe that the kings of the "hey ho" genre are Mumford and Sons and The Lumineers.
The Lumineer's biggest hit is literally called "Ho Hey" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R6UqE6JzNLA
There was a time when all of my "cool fratty" friends all pretended to like this shit, and I think because of their wives liked it or something. Especially Mumford and Sons. I never liked their shit at all. |

Date: June 6th, 2025 12:26 PM Author: Maroon Mad Cow Disease It's weird what they do with the reverb on the background vocals. They almost sound like they're underwater or something. It might be a production trick where you send the vocals to a separate track with reverb on it and then mute the original vocal source so you're only hearing the effected channel. That's why the hos and heys sound like they are coming from a room down the hall or something. It's not just that they came up with the hos and heys but also the sort of very casual disembodied voice down the hall nature of it which I'm sure was copied a million times. It's more of an effect than a vocal, something you could casually drop into anything. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5734168&forum_id=2#48992217) |

Date: June 6th, 2025 12:34 PM Author: Maroon Mad Cow Disease In high school he was like a character in Metalocalypse. 5 different chicks asked him to prom. He was a huge deal locally and everyone thought he was going to be famous.
One of the big turning points that ruined him was he went to music school and all the profs told him he had to study jazz. I remember him telling me about how jazz was the most important genre in music history. All the professors thought that jazz was extremely important. So instead of just being cool and writing heavy metal and rock riffs which everyone thought was the shit he got deep into impressing academics. I will never understand why somebody takes their instinctual passion for the arts and tosses it aside to impress a bunch of 55k salary academic fags. I guess he never had any guiding spirit to begin with. He was just waiting to get molded by someone else. Probably would have been a Scientologist or something. He ultimately was a beta pawn who got reprogrammed. |

Like what's better, "Dookie" when they were just a trio from NorCal no one had ever heard of or when they were mid career live at the Grammy's making political speeches?
And yes a lot of famous guitarists were turbo introverts. Page famously would tell his manager to go up to girls and tell them Jimmy thought they were cute because he was extremely shy.
Unfortunately for my schoolmate he didn't lay down anything of note before he converted to weird academic jazz/Mumford type. But yes he would have been better served just playing freely without caring what anyone thought.
All the best music is by people who were just winging it and following their creative instincts. Then everything gets gay after a while. |

Date: June 6th, 2025 3:31 PM Author: Maroon Mad Cow Disease He's really feeling it. He practiced enough that he became one with the instrument and has just going in every direction that makes him feel something or he finds interesting. Enough skill to amuse himself endlessly with the feelings the notes produce in him.
Funny thing is I know a lot of guys with this personality type who play this style of guitar but they just suck completely lol. The hard part is having the emotional instincts to go after notes that are really compelling. There are tons of introverted guitarists who spent their whole life with less than 10 fans because they just play uninteresting garbage when they're in the zone like this. It's really rare to have this talent. The skill and the drive and the innate ability to connect melodic dots. Only a handful of people have this in spades. You have to be extremely driven. I think for the 60s and 70s generation of players there was nothing else going on of interest to them so they really got deep into it. Like these guys didn't read or go to football matches or have the internet or buy real estate. They just did this all the time. This was it. |

Date: June 6th, 2025 3:25 PM Author: Maroon Mad Cow Disease Virtually all music school professors are deeply into jazz. Think about it, if they had been God's gift at songwriting they'd be some famous musician. If they had the ability to write anthemic rock or pop riffs and melodies don't you think they would have done it instead of be some lowly paid academic?
A different friend of mine who went to music school used to tell me that jazz was the most important genre because it was the only genre you had to study formally in order to appreciate it.
Now I'm not saying everything ought to sound like Sabrina Carpenter and be created by a large corporation whose job it is to come up with music for people while they're shopping at Ross. But a genre so sophisticated you have to study in in order to like of seems a bit much.
This goes back to one of the classic arguments about art dating back millenia. It's the reason why chess is so popular. So sophisticated you can lose yourself in it forever, yet so simple you can teach it to a child. Now imagine playing Miles Davis for a kid and them not being like wtf is this retarded bullshit. There's a balance, and jazz heads are way too up themselves. It's ultimately cope for people with no intrinsic musical talent to make something with greater appeal. Music is an art form that is almost entirely if not completely meant to be enjoyable. If you're not creating emotions that connect with an audience what are you doing? |

"If you're not creating emotions that connect with an audience what are you doing?" - IMO (and also JS Bach), you can make music to glorify God. Or to sort of work out some things in your head. so i'm open to sort of insular, niche music. but i can't say i fully understand it in the case of the deep jazzheads |

Date: June 6th, 2025 12:53 PM Author: Maroon Mad Cow Disease It's kind of surprising PP didn't get more famous. He really fizzled out. Seems like he should have been as big as Tame Impala but after an EP and two LPs he just fell off a cliff as a songwriter. Everything he did after Gossamer was pure garbage. Also probably didn't translate well to the live performance because it's so based on samples and production his live show is just him singing along to a laptop backing track.
Even Gossamer wasn't nearly as good as Manners but somehow got a shitload of radio play because of major label backing. And then when the record didn't sell he pretended to have mental health issues, and then when that didn't work he literally told people, "I'm gay." It was also strongly hinted at that he was never really gay and just said it to get out of his marriage and not get alimony pwnd because his ex wife felt bad for him. ODD CASE |

Stuff came after this that was influenced by it to the point everything sounded like this. He wrote this by himself on a laptop which is pretty impressive. He blew up on MySpace that's how long ago this was. He didn't even have a band and the record label rustled up some random guys to sit in with him and finish the record. His talent was white hot in the beginning but eventually fizzled. He was really one of the first guys who got big writing shit in Garage Band and becoming an overnight sensation.

Date: June 6th, 2025 1:05 PM Author: aromatic cheese-eating spot It was the ultimate capitulation of white youth culture to hip hop supremacy ie “we have no interest in attracting the attention of young teen girls as had been the entire point of this musical genre since Elvis first shook his hips.” I remember there was a Courtney Love interview in one of the major rock magazines (probably RS) in the mid-late 90s where she made fun of Lollapalooza because no one would want to fuck any of the dudes in any of the bands that year. The 00s hipsters were the sexless nerdy dudes who went to that year of Lollapalooza and said to themselves “I like the reduction in the number of attractive teenage girls here, but I bet we could do better if we made music that was even more dickless and whiny.” (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5734168&forum_id=2#48992343) |

Date: June 6th, 2025 2:03 PM Author: aromatic cheese-eating spot Not sure why this would be confusing unless you didn’t actually experience this cultural moment. If that’s the case just look at old footage of these bands at their shows. They clearly target and focused on attracting only the 20-something brooklynite skank millennial women, some of whom were fuckable, but all of whom were obviously of a lower caliber and mate selection value than eg the teen girls who wanted to fuck every major rock act from Elvis to the Beatles and the Stones to Zeppelin to Aerosmith to Van Halen to GnR and Skid Row to Nirvana and Pearl Jam to Oasis to Blink 182 to The Strokes. By the mid-late 00s the biggest teen heart throb acts were all hip hop and R&B and even the whites affiliated (eg Bieber, Eminem) were wiggers who were kept as pets by a black star who validated them and periodically fucked them in the ass.
