We will really never get this again, will we?
What killed indie?
>>128227902It got too woke
>>128227906this
>there was a day when WAP did not refer to a black woman’s cunt
>>128227902obama
>>128227902growing up
>>128227902black people with their trap
most of the music in that picture is shitkill yourself
take note what all of these acts have in common. that doesn’t fly these days
>>128227897MGMT's Oracular Spectacular came out in 2007 under Bush. Retards.
>>128227902Bedroom pop. Fractalization of the supply into a million different kids getting TikTok hits from the shit they muttered into ableton live. None of them know how to play instruments either. Things were better when the ladder was much higher but not too high.
>>128227897Indie is on TikTok. There's some good stuff wading through the shit
Wow I thought this shit and the people who liked it was gay when in reality it was alright.
>>128228139ai is exacerbating this massively also
I watch this movie to take myself back to that era
MGMTs first album came out under bush.Besides that the real heads were listening to chill wave like neon indian or hypnogogic pop like ariel pink and sort of existing in the proto vaporwave wave.the hipster as we knew them died when millennials all turned 30 around 2016 when trump won and stupid gay obama era optimism finally died
>>128227902trump killed any pure souled humans enthusiasm for society and the future
>>128227902indie was never meant to go mainstream, instead arcade fire one the grammy and indie was living in a post mtv world trying to make it by licensing their music to ipod and car commercials anyways indie didnt die, normies just got into EDM and rap way more. indie would evolve into like mac demarco and a million mac clones and like king kruel, and there was guys like cuco and gus dapperton, and shit like that, which never really wen mainstream, id say indie died in the 2020s
>>128228316the optimism of the obama era was always hollow, resting on the idea he would bring hope and change, when in reality he was just another neoliberal stooge who maintained the status quo. the only people who didnt see trump coming were the kool aid drinkers who bought into obama like retards
>>128228139AJR are responsible for this
>>128227897all this music sucks
>>128227902People stopped listening to jazz and blues. You know the main things that all music takes from?
>>128227897Well, artists were happy under Obama's government. Now we got a shit show called Drumpf.https://youtu.be/o8jdzfHvCI8?si=i07VSY3TfloQOB4m
Indie "music" was gay low test dogshit for hipsters and it birthed stomp clap hey which might be the worst genre known to mankind.
>>128227897>nobody mentions how HAIM is shoved in there in an attempt to make it seem like they were always relevantlol
>>128227965Thanks, Obama
>>128227897That had nothing to do with Obama thoIt was that apocalyptic atmosphere surrounding the financial crash from 2007-8.The atmosphere actually started earlier since 2005-6. By the time it reached 2007 you could feel something very bad was afoot.It made me wonder if the financial event wasn't a pressure valve letting out all that social steam out, rather than causing it. Maybe the crash happened because something had to break for the pressure to be expulsedBut then it was a fake resolution, it did nothing but kick the can down the road. The systemic rot was cryogenised and we continued to stew in that until nowWe still haven't solved what caused those dark undercurrents from the late 2000sIt has taken on new forms
>>128228339ExactlyObama was the smooth talker that that promised change and a new horizon of hope but he turned out to be a teleprompter production
>>128227902It was too white, which countered the narrative of idpol which was popular at the time amongst the college-aged. This is actually why. Look it up For example: https://pitchfork.com/thepitch/710-the-unbearable-whiteness-of-indie/
>>128227902White guilt
>>128230715>>128231810Even though Indiefucks were among the most libtarded demographics imaginable?
>>128227897M83 and Phoenix are French, Gorillaz and Arctic Monkeys are British and Tame Impala is Australian, the fuck have they got to do with Obama
>>128227897None of this music was good.
>>128230706>>128228339I'm not sure who exactly thought there was anything optimistic about that time or believed he was the answer to anything.
>>128231837Back in the day libtard white men used to save space for themselves before the self-cuckery and suicidal empathy went into total overdrive
>>128227897Can't even begin to describe how much better Bush-era indie was
>>128230577their debut blew them up in popularity. i remember /mu/ going gaga over them as they were one of the standout performances at coachella that year. just because you seethe over women doing anything incel doesn't mean they aren't relevant
>>128227902Me
>>128233539What do you mean?
>>128227902Because none of that in the list was indie. All of those were studio high production records. Indie is for the most part a fake label. Very few bands are. And only when starting out.
>>128227897What, shitty pop music? Don't worry, there's plenty more to come.
>>128230715>unberable whiteness>white dudes wrote thisMan im glad the 2015s are long over. This was a culture of mental illness and hating yourself for nothing, no i dont believe guilt is inherited, thats absurd. Besides my ancestors were from the Union not the Confederacy. But even if they were i owe nobody nothing just mutual citizen respect and suspicion.
>>128228339shut up chud
>>128233594Hope they see this bro.
>>128230706and you are of being the timmy! yes!
>>128233786We all timmy turner here
>>128233632I knew plenty of guys who voted democrat while still didn’t force themselves to worship rap because the movement demanded it, didn’t care about casual misogyny in music and movies. Thought the gays deserved rights but wouldn’t listen to music that was “too gay”. These types of milquetoast leftist young men do not exist anymore.
>>128230715Hit the head of the nail right here.
>>128228260vaporwave started in 2009
>>128233843>American educationNo one who votes Democrat is leftist.
>>128227902Condé Nast
>>128227906>>128227910>>128227993>>128231810retards
>>128227897>not including The National, the ultimate Obama core indie band
>>128227897I hate this genre
>>128233776>no argumentMANY such cases
>>128227897no that shit sucked
>>128227902picrel killed it. there was no saving it after that.
>>128227897All of those bands were created and recorded under Bush.In reality, it was Obama who killed indie (rock).
