why are vast majority of "indie" bands from post 2000s trustfund babies? 80s and 90s had plenty of musicians from normal or shithole households
>>127957534cuck band
>>127957534who the fuck can afford to play shows, take time off work to tour, and buy gear except rich kids?
>>127957534why would this dude make a band in this climate knowing full well people would find out about his mom cucking his father and then bragging about it and making a career out of it?
>>127957534economy is too fucked now for kids to get into music without a big cushion to fall back on
would you?
>>127957585>Why would I strive for anything in life My parents are pieces of shit.What kinda retarded logic is that?
start naming them
>>127957565huh? if it's your main hobby you just make it work. they benefited from writing a lot in high school when they didnt have to support themselves. i have never even listened to a Geese song but ur coping dood. i bought my first guitar pedal after working two weeks at mcdonalds because that's all i wanted, its really not that complicated
>>127957817>if it's your main hobby you just make it workeven pretty successful bands like foxing break up because the financial side is such a nightmare. bands like geese don't have to worry about that shit.
>>127957627Yeah the economy in the 70s was real on the up.
>>127957534>80s and 90s had plenty of musicians from normal or shithole households95 percent of them were upper middle class or trust funders too
>>127958038honestly in the 70s you could still afford a lot more per dollar than you can today even after adjusting for inflation.
>>127958099the cost of living to wages ratio was better (except for gas prices obviously)
>>127958038Even at the post-COVID period it didn't get to Carter era inflation, the peak was 8% in 2022.
>>127958038It was easier to make it in music in the 70s, because there wasn't so much inflation of music makers like today, when everyone with a DAW can shit out several albums per year and put them up for sale on Bandcamp.I think the only hard part back in those days was getting instruments. But everything else was more accessible, rent, living expenses, living on a wage while being in a band.
>>127958038I think a more accurate parallel is the Animation Dark Ages in the 70s which were a lot like 2010s music, minimal effort trash made on low budgets and the format in general was pretty culturally irrelevant.
>>127958099Stuff in the 70s wasn't getting artificially underwritten with USAID bucks. Music at that time worked on free market principles.
>>1279576431-800-hell no
>>127957670I don't know ask the retard who made the band
>>127958292You're such a retard.
CU.CK CORE SHIT
>>127958038Almost half of the houses bought in 2024 were by people over 60 years old.
>>127957534in the UK, the generous welfare state and the ‘Enterprise Allowance’ scheme funded the early years of every working class band you’ve heard of from the 70s to the 90s.
>>127958292DEI never existed except in rightist media memes.
>>127957934i was into these guys but they had one album that was notorious in the early 10s emo revival and that's about it. then they dropped a flop and never really recovered. last album was good but i can see why it couldn't save them. they had been writing music about struggling to make it with art for like 3 albums now. rip.
>>127963144>>>/r/ope, leftshit!
>>127963679>>>/c/ope, chuddie!
>>127963619and they still had a more successful career than 99.99% of bands ever will. it's tough out there.
>>127963144>DEI never existed>but it would be a good thing if it did
Where did scenes bands even come from? Like you can always track rock musicians by their influences, like Black Sabbath or Black Flag but like these fags aren’t even wearing band shirts. It’s like they just exist in a vacuum of 2006.
>>127964023They do have influences, they make watered down rips of 90s indie bands like Sloan and Pavement.
