Anyone else miss this era of indie music?
>>
>>127969435
no it was crap
>>
>>127969435
no, you're also genuinely too young to post on here if this era was at all nostalgic to you

Seriously, this era was my heart of darkness. Benadryl and schwag everyday, minimum wage, waking up at 3PM.
>>
no it sucked. really nothing else to say here.
>>
>>127969634
Mac was soulful; all the other copies were not
>>
i wish i was privy to it when it was a thing now i'm catching up like a fogie
t. doesnt even know who that is
>>
>>127969435
Mac DeMarco had a thing and he got crazy rich off it. Jonathan Richman and John Lennon and even bands like Polaris make him redundant though.
>>
>>127969634
i remeber some people tried making cuco threads on here but i kept calling him el cucko and i never saw a cuco thread again

anyways, hated this shit, castrated wall paper rock
>>
>>127969904
Apart from Lennon, none of those examples holds any similarity with Mac's music.
>>
>>127969974
Yes they do.
>>
>can't tell girls i just got into mac demarco because they'll think i'm 10 years late to the party
>still don't know what's hip today either
fuck my life
>>
>>127970024
right now the hip trending bands are geese and Wednesday

Art hoes love Mac
Just learn to play My Kind of Women on an acoustic, and you'll be swimming in it
>>
>>127970063
Had a bipolar girl in a high school who was obsessed with me, who looked just like her.
Im good mate
>>
>>127969974
It's jangle pop you rtard it all sounds the same
>>
>>127970063
I appreciate that, any more recommendations?
this is what the girls like? it sounds like girl music
they're both alright though, not unlistenable
>>
>>127970122
If she likes you, she'll listen to whatever ur listening to, be a little confident, mate.
>>
>>127970144
alright, that's very encouraging, thanks mate
all the same, good to find new tunes, cheers
>>
>>127969435
Not that period, but the period right before it. Boy Pablo is fine, but he and the likes of Clairo and Gus Dapperton (who's thankfully forgotten now) were kind of the last gasp before everything got drowned out almost completely by radio girl pop. They're kind of a sign of the end of something much better that was still thriving a few years before.
>>
If the old indie sound was like "mac demarco copycat" then what's the new sound now? Alt-country indie?
>>
>>127970150
put on som Oasis bruv.
>>
>>127970165
>Alt-country indie
that keeps rearing it's ugly head and i think it'll be a hot sound for a bit, but nowhere near as insufferable or as prominent as mac demarco copycats.
>>
>>127970024
Nothing is hip.
Take it from me, I'm over 30.
>>
Define indie?
>>
>>127970162
>Gus Dapperton
This is the first time I've thought of him in years. Never even heard his music, just saw the /mu/ spam.
>>
>>127969435
Absolutely fucking not. Can't wait for the revisionism around it 5 year down the line
>>
>>127969435
is pablo still depressed
>>
>>127969435
no
>>
>>127970656
He has maybe one song worth hearing if you like the Smiths, but that's it. He's terrible.
>>
>>127969435
Rich kids dicking around
>>
>>127969435
The Mac Demarco era? No, not at all
>>
>>127970024
Why the fuck are you talking about music with women anyway
>>
no. the hypnagogic sounds of the late 2000s that mac gentrified into pitchfork indie is what i miss. i miss before matt mondanile got cancelled.
>>
The half of this thread shitting on you is wrong and frankly old. I do miss it. I don’t care that many of them were industry plants or rich white kids. The anger of the 2020-2022 culture era dismissed many of these acts off the relevancy map because of that fact and it was unfortunate
>>
>>127970165
surely there's an original artist, not necessarily sounding like mac demarco, that people are copy-catting, although i'd give more credit, people can be more original than just copying things even today i'm sure.
>>
>>127969435
Zero cultural impact.
>>
Remember Rex Orange Country lmao
>>
>>127969435
As a millennial fag I can honestly say 2017-2020 were the absolute most dog shit years for music since before 1990 probably.

There will never be ‘bedroom pop’ nights like there are currently emo nights.

Limp wristed no balls slacker fag shit.
So far removed from rock.
So far removed from folk.
So far removed from grizzly bear/ animal collective late 2000’s indie.

This is what you get when everyone wanted to be Mac Demarco at one point.
He literally is to blame lmao.

I don't even know who this is, but I could tell you're talking about the Mac DeMarco copycat era of indie music because they're copying his Another One video
>>
>>127969634
>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wIgmyE5Juzw
uninspired talentless trash
>>
>>127969435
No it was garbage. Mac's 2 and Salad Days were good but all the copycats sucked massive dongs. I mean, look at this shit: >>127969634. Who even remembers any of this?
>>
>>127980915
Why are you calling them copycats? I listened to two of them and neither sound like Mac.
>>
>>127970063
sounds like some gay music an advertising agency would use in a gay marketing campaign
>>
>>127969435
It was shit, but it does make me feel nostalgic.
>>
>>127969634
insufferable core
>>
name a more obnoxious subculture
the men are pussy whipped faggots who get offended over everything and the women are arrogant whores, huge pass.
