What went wrong?
Rap took over
>>121542817Nu metal killed it
It was where the current state of rap is
>>121542931landfill indie killed nu metal then nu metal killed it
It died along with the rest of indie since even if you are a trust fund babby you can't go on tour without going 5 figures into debt to Livenation. you can see this reflected in the 30 threads at any given time on here about the most famous pop stars in the world
Psyop genre designed to craft a new "man": the feminist sensitive immigration friendly non racist bugman.
>>121545967You can also chart indie music's death by the way glowies show up en masse to racebait on a board no one cares about anymore
>>121542817who the hell are these guys in the pic, i don't recognized any of them, they all look the same
Too many white people.
>>121546012i think bottom right is the fratellis guy but that's all i know
>>121542817The media that propped it decided it isn't cool to be white
>>121546012>>121546034Alex Turner with the red shirt, Pete Doherty with the black cap. Don't recognize anyone else
>Both beloved and despised, Landfill Indie is basically “indie rock revival” afterbirth. The music industry, upon seeing the meteoric rise of The Strokes, Bloc Party and The Libertines, fanned out across these United Kingdoms in search of white boys with weak jawlines, playing in bands with names like a problematic flavour of Walkers Sensations (hello to Bombay Bicycle Club and Cajun Dance Party).In the opening second of "Top 50 Greatest Landfill Indie Songs", which uses the same image as the OP. Holy Jesus am I glad smug music """journalism""" like this isn't taken seriously anyone

>>121548742While a few of those are now literal whos, many of those bands have forged legitimate decade-spanning careers in music...How can a "buzz" last that long, fuckwit
>>121548799has beens watered down names at the end of the day.
>>121548742I lived in East Vancouver for a few years, and used to see Dan Bajar (Destroyer) like 3 times a week walking around the neighbourhood. Just the coolest fucking guy.
>>121546909Kek, political correctness is what killed indie. Solidly middle class, Home Counties mediocrities becoming music journalists and part of an industrial complex hacking away at lower middle class/upper working class blokes until the list of things they could write songs about was narrowed down to cheeky lyrics about love, sex and drinking... just like every other genre.
>>121548900Better a 'has been' than a never been, eh anon?
