>Went from playing arenas to mid sized theaters How did Arcade Fire lose so much of its legacy in such a short time?
Because they were never good.

>>129651778indie rock is a relic of the 2000s. it’s all about hip hop now
>>129651813>it’s all about hip hop nowRap and hip hop are as dead as rock now after the mumbler rap/soundcloud bubble burst
>>129651778>such a short timeThey've sucked for over a decade now.

They had good songs, but they never had that special spark that separates the good bands from the great bands. Rebellion is a jam though.
Kinda just realized so many popular indie rock acts that were everywhere in the 2000s and 2010s completely sunk in relevance. Even nu metal bands like SOAD or Korn can still fill up arenas while major indie acts like The Strokes, Interpol or Arcade Fire don't even get second line billing at festivals anymore
>>129651970You are nearly 30
>>129651970You are like 10 years away from gen a thinking your generations taste are a total embarrassment. Enjoy it while it lasts lil bro
>>129652126>The Strokes>indie
>>129652327In what universe are they not?
>>129652333The one we live in now, because they never released anything on an independent record label.
>>129652333the one where their dads are millionaires with connections to the entertainment industry and epstein tendenciesso this universe
>>129652126>The Strokes, Interpol or Arcade Fire don't even get second line billing at festivals anymorebecause none of these bands ever sold any records. they werent stars. mtv spammed their videos but nobody bought their music. look up the tiny number of albums these bands sold
>>129652346Exactly.>>129652368The Strokes actually *did* sell a bunch of records although I otherwise agree. Their first three albums at least went certified platinum/gold depending on the country. And I was one of the weirdos who actually listened to Arcade Fire right as they were taking off pretty much too.
When i saw them live he got on mic and said the chick was an refugee. I guess as a way to sway us
>>129652126The Strokes are literally just below Bieber at Coachella this year.
>>129651862I laughed, audibly.
>>129651778Saw them at the festival in 2011. They were already on a decline back then, stage presence wise.
>>129652368Is This It (2001) by the Strokes sold over 2 million copies sold worldwide. Is platinum certified in US
>>129652126The fact that almost none of these indie bands are still relevant while nu-metal and pop punk bands are still popular proves that commercial success is all that matters and critical acclaim is meaningless
>>129651778The cuckqueen
>>129652383>The Strokes actually *did* sell a bunch of records>>129655040>Is This It (2001) by the Strokes sold over 2 million copies sold worldwide.but still during the height of the cd buying years thats a dismal number when you look at the huge sales by other bands during that same time. matchbox 20 sold over 12 million copies of just one album. silver side up from 2001 sold 10 million copies and then all the right reasons from 2003 sold 18 million copies worldwide
>>129651778s 0y boy meme ruined it.
>>129651970shut it rajesh you're 35 and work at a valero
>>129651778If the two women had hairy forearms and/or armpits I'd listen.
All of that 'achingly sincere' crap like this has aged far more poorly than the stuff that it was a response to, which is really funny to me kek
>>129651778I jumped ship back in 2010 when i first listened to Th Suburbs. i just couldn't believe the band who made their previous albums, would release somethign as baffling as that.I still managed to listen to the album multiple times, to see if i woudl change my opinion, but that was it.I have never listened to another Arcade Fire album afterwards.It was the biggest disappointment i had with artists new release in my life, ever.The Suburbs to me sounds like St ANger to Metallica fans
>>129657460How? What do you listen to, Indian drum and bankia?
MOTHERFUCKERHOW MANY NIGGERS DO YOU NEED IN A BAND
>>129658034Looks like they have zero?
>>129651778Stomp Clap Hey garbageOne day people will realize Fleet Foxes was also trash
>>129658034wait until you find out about polyphonic spree lol
>>129652126There is a lot of nostalgia for 90s/2000s nu metal, pop punk and mainstream alt rock because it aired on the radio all the time.
