Stomp Clap Hey aka indie hipster folk rock of the 2010s was the LAST KNOWN STAND of implicit white identity.

All of a sudden there's 6 gorillion YT video essays claiming SCH sucked ass and was a fake and bad genre.

How is this not mega white:

Sorry but if you hate this music, you aren't white.

2010s hipsterism was faustian as fuck
>>
>>127896255
Yup definitely happening. These dumb fuck poptimist losers keep bullying indie rock or millennial hipster stuff in any way and id rather listen to that than gay modern boring ass whore pop which is all image and no substance any day. Poptimists are trouble. I dont like them

Hi, Stomp Clap Hey was as bad as 00s hot Topic/Mall Emo.

Nothing is as bad as the current state of bland stupid ass garbage modern mainstream music that all sounds the same and has no melodies. And sounds like 20 year old dance pop

There was nothing good about this stuff. Just vacuous background noise for rich Democrat voting Millenials.

>>127896255
People hated this shit at the time too. /mu/ really hated this shit back then. Anyway people are talking about it again cuz Noah Kahan and the like are reviving the sound. Mumford's sons have finally come of age

meh, I have more of a problem if classic pitchfork core is attacked. Modest Mouse, Arcade Fire, Shins and so on were all great.

fuck off zoomer, P4k core music used to be the board's backbone

>Stomp Clap Hey
weird how this reddit genre has overtaken all of indie pop and rock from the 2010s in the minds of zoomers when it was a tiny subgenre pushed by major labels to cash in on organic indie aesthetics
mumford and sons, lumineers, etc were a joke to anyone who cared about music in the same way coldplay and u2 were in the 2000s
>>
This wasn't even indie, it was pure fucking (bad) pop. What you really wanna listen to is Fleet Foxes or Iron & Wine, not this shit. Mumfordshit has more to do with Coldplay than either indie or folk music
>>
>>127896527
pitchfork hated mumford and sons, you fucking retard
>>
>>127896527
stomp clap music isn't p4k-core and was viewed as a commercialization of the kind of indie rock we actually like. Don't try to "zoomer" me, I have been coming here for far too long

2010 started with PHC and ended with lame indie ass. I like Suburbs by Arcade Fire, but not every album was like that. But one thing, '10 PHC even the poppiest one was fucking great.
>>
>>127896255
This article is just Americans painting their problems as worldwide problems. If you go to an indie band show outside the US, you'll find thousands of non-white people and people who are outside the supposed demographic for that music. I just hate how this pretentious attitude comes from all Americans, regardless of color or economic status. What a bunch of blowhards.

I dont care how much effort and heart they put into it
I dont care if its white
I dont care if it's "rock"
It still sucks and ruined everything

As a white person, this kind of music made me ashamed to be white more than any SJW ever could.

yes because stomp clap was the commodified sterile billboard version of actual indie folk like bon iver

It was repackaged white identity, neutered, stripped of soul. There can be no nostalgia, for no one was moved by this music. Nobody listened to it. You're mythologizing a past that simply did not exist.

More like zoomers doing all the revisionism and trying to tell people who lived through it what was popular when it wasn't.

None of the things you posted were popular at all in indie places, everyone hated this shit and it was played everywhere.

I think they can't process that. If it was everywhere it means everyone loved it.

Not sure what you mean. "Lofi" wasn't a thing before youtube lofi hip hop music for zoomers became an aesthetic to find on a wiki

For non-metal music that intentionally sounds shitty, it would've been DIY or "bedroom" music typically done on cassette recorders. Punk, folk, and random outsider type music

>>127901134
it straight up does it isn't a very high bar. 20's musicians listened to 80s/90s music (because 10s were so garbage). 2010s bands listened to 00s music (which is just bad 90s music but still way better than the 10s)
i barely listen to new music some 00s and mostly before, nothing from the 10s but some stuff from the 20s so yeah it's better

>>127901396
Still wrong lol. You got it backwards actually, "bedroom pop" is a much more recent term and lo-fi has been used to describe home recorded pop/rock music since the late 80s at least
>>
>>127901518
>"bedroom pop" is a much more recent term
Yes, since the 2000s

The wikipedia article is actually pretty decent on this, lofi was an adjective slung around at anything with no consistency
>Although "lo-fi" has been in the cultural lexicon for approximately as long as "high fidelity", WFMU disc jockey William Berger is usually credited with popularizing the term in 1986. At various points since the 1980s, "lo-fi" has been connected with cassette culture, the DIY ethos of punk, primitivism, outsider music, authenticity, slacker/Generation X stereotypes, and cultural nostalgia. The notion of "bedroom" musicians expanded following the rise of modern digital audio workstations, leading to the invention of the nearly synonymous term bedroom pop. In the late 2000s, lo-fi aesthetics served as the basis of the chillwave and hypnagogic pop music genres.[2] The 2010s saw the emergence of the chillout-influenced lo-fi hip hop style, which gained widespread popularity on YouTube.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lo-fi_music

There was no cohesive set of music that was labeled "lofi" until the 2010s. The only consistently shitty DIY music I remember being a before then was the anti-folk stuff, and early 2010s the fascination with field recorders and the most dogshit bandcamps in the world (also reviving gay tape limited releases for a brief time)

>>127901609
DIY cassette culture stuff is the real lo-fi. I remember when the "lo-fi beats" thing first started, it pissed me off so much cuz now everyone was saying they were into lo-fi but it was a totally different kind of music. And it was all fake vinyl crackle and tape hiss anyway. And also it fucked up the RYM tags real bad. Now all the stuff that used to be tagged lo-fi (and then "lo-fi indie") is "slacker rock" now, which is a totally different thing

>The only consistently shitty DIY music I remember being a before then was the anti-folk stuff
What about GBV? The boombox era Mountains Goats albums, early Sebadoh, Shrimper Records, Unread Records. I mean there's tons and tons of this shit
>>

>it was a totally different kind of music. And it was all fake vinyl crackle and tape hiss anyway. And also it fucked up the RYM tags real bad.
That's what I was saying from the start.

>What about GBV? The boombox era Mountains Goats albums, early Sebadoh, Shrimper Records, Unread Records. I mean there's tons and tons of this shit
Also what I was talking about with the folk, punk, and other types of music in the very first post. The music was recorded/produced with lo fidelity but that wasn't the main trait of the music and not thought of primarily as "lofi"
>>
I'm not a fan and never liked it at all but I don't hate it.
My ex is a nigress and this was her shit. Also Joanna Newsome and Vampire Weekend. I still have her VW CDs somewhere. Don't tell my wife.
Anyway, is my ex honorary Aryan because she likes this stuff?

>[YouTube] Edward Sharpe & The Magnetic Zeros - Home (Official Video) (unembed)

I never explored Stomp Clap and am not even sure if it exists. Could the problem just be that Mumford and Sons are kind of annoying, and that they inspired a couple of other bands to make annoying songs using the stop+clap+tambourine percussion sound?

For example, while that Edward Sharpe & The Magnetic Zeros song is indeed kind of annoying, their actual music is happy 70s psyche gospel folk pop. Are the Youtubers just mad that a few annoying songs got into every detergent commercial for a couple of years? Or is 70s psyche gospel folk pop the thing they hate and it was somehow a big genre despite me not noticing? I am confuse.

>>127896255
Indie was fantastic back then….if you weren’t listening to the “indie” that made it to the big radio stations. Normies being normies, they can’t be bothered to change the station from those crappy buttrock and alternative stations and go out and listen to a college station or go and do some research in some music blog or magazine or something. All the buttrock and alt stations played of the indie stuff was indie folk. Similar to>>127896301 where all the crappy commercial stations just played that hot topic emo crap to death.

I wish commercial radio would just die, already. It’s in this sorry state where it can’t take any risks and wants to send you to their streaming platform, but it still gets enough listeners to be barely viable and the music industry doesn’t support radio.
>>
>>127906073
>I wish commercial radio would just die, already. It’s in this sorry state where it can’t take any risks and
It hasn't in decades. During the Beatles' day radio took risks. That was already over by about 1973.
>>
>>127896255
Reminder that in the 10s no normal people used made up marketing labels like millennials
>>
>>127906079
Mostly. In the 80’s there was still a few AOR stations that would occasionally take a chance and in the 90’s there was a brief moment where the alt stations could play cutting edge stuff. Then Nirvana blew up, and that was mostly the end for anything new on the commercial stations. People like to blame The Telecommunications Act of 1996, but the radio insider people will tell you it was really when the government allowed more stations on air and when streaming online became easier.

>I wish commercial radio would just die, already. It’s in this sorry state where it can’t take any risks and wants to send you to their streaming platform, but it still gets enough listeners to be barely viable and the music industry doesn’t support radio.

This is the crux. Terrestrial radio is indeed dying. Stomp Clap was one of the last attempts to make a new genre stick and fire up some old style radio money printers like Maroon 5 or Imagine Dragons. You can't astroturf like that without masses of people absolutely hating on you, because you're literally forcing music into people's ears at industrial levels. It happens for songs still, sometimes artists, but Stomp Clap was the last genre launch.
>>
>OO-OOOHH
>THIS IS GONNA BE THE BEST DAY OF MY LIIIIIIIFE

This was the saturation point, when America said yknow what.. Stomp Clap can fuck off.
>>
>>127906079
By the time you get to the Ford/Carter years radio was very static and risk adverse, you were guaranteed to hear the Eagles or Olivia Newton-John 20x a day but nothing out of left field. It was just a few years in the 60s when free form radio was really a thing.
>>
Retard, this music was just the hangover from the 2007-2011 indie folk era. Bands like Fleet Foxes, Bon Iver, Arcade Fire, etc. were doing the 'millennial whoop' before it was actually a thing.

Robin Pecknold was larping as some medieval minstrel writing tunes about the fayre. There was no way he genuinely thought that was cool and that other artists would follow him down that nerdy-ass rabbit hole, but they did. He was just making folk music.
>>
>>127901297
>because 10s were so garbage
How can you say that when we had music from the whole world thanks to the internet? Music wasn't this bad at that time. Shoegaze and math rock were quite popular in the japanese indie space.
>>
>>127896255
Chuds are so hilarious. You spergs will get into the gayest shit just to feel a sense of "identity". Orthodox Christianity, positivitymaxxing, now stomp clap hey music of all things.
>>
>>127907086
I looked for every band that started in 2010 in the top 100 bands of my past year of listening there are only two:
https://youtu.be/NFagFPhAeMA
https://youtu.be/KHxuZIRMYsA (just a new project by a guy whose been making music for decades)
https://youtu.be/rnRBhgwUSok (kind of jap shoegaze? idk i keep going back to it)
also purple mountains but that's just silver jews and doesn't count
im still regularly listening to 20s bands/albums that came out years ago and that are actually like "part of 20s music movements" rather then just obscure weirdos making music like the stuff I listen to from the 10s
i dont really care about generic shoegaze bands which most of the jap bands were
i did like fuguko they are taiwanese i haven't really listened to them recently
https://youtu.be/-5n1Q2_2tQs

but yeah compared to 20s (and every other previous decade) there is just way less and the only stuff I like is extremely niche where I genuinely like lots of the popular 20s stuff (horsegirl, fontaines dc, fievel is glauque, etc.)
>>
>>127896255
Bump
>>
>>127907670
These niggas have no sense of internal identity, so they desperately need to follow something to feel like they exist. That's why they are so desperate to justify anything cuckservatives do, because for them losing a debate would mean symbolic death.

>>127907086
>How can you say that when we had music from the whole world thanks to the internet?
The internet existed in the 00s too, with easily downloadable archives of music
