None of that meme-y ''nobody remembers Beach House bro'' bullshit, but acts that rarely if ever get brought up in any conversation online or IRL despite having had a decent amount of exposure during their main run. I'm talking shit that used to get a regular mention on the blogosphere and in music publications, shit that appeared on TV and in commercials, shit that doesn't have less than a 100 ratings on RYM, shit that legitimately triggers a shocked response upon seeing their name...you get the idea. The actual quality of the music notwithstanding.I'll start:>We Are Scientists>Groove Armada>The Rakes>Cut Copy>The Subways>Crystal Fighters>Com Truise>The Tallest Man on Earth>Braids>oOoOO>Balam Acab>The Stills
>>131264308I think grovel armada are still relevant to some degree in the electronic music world. I think they played Coachella this year for instance, which no matter what you think about that festival is a decent gauge for relevance.

>>131264308There's one I've been searching for forever. They are so forgotten I forgot the name.mid '80s bandbunch of lame skits on their records, like crank calling and so on.few live songs that were basically noise with Anal Cunt style lyrics.Only found one of their records in some Kansas City record store.Only thing I remember is them calling a mortician and asking if he used the hack/rip method, and one song cover of "Going to the Chapel" by the Dixie Cups, but replaced the lyrics with something about a baby being miscarried.No one on /mu/has ever figured out who this band was.
>>131264360note - if a band has a wiki page, it is not truly forgotten.
>>131265102>Regina Spektorshe was on the news recently for sperging out about antisemitism
>>131265102>flight of the conchordsThat australian band with the sick bongo player? Dude everybody knows them
>>131264308There was that black guy who had one song on the radio who covered A Thousand Miles. I can't even remember his name, but I think the song was called "I Will Never Forget You". In the same vein of completely forgotten black guys that were on the radio at one point, Khalid.
I have half the bands listed here in my 10k track spotify playlists, and half of the others I listened to in highschool. Very depressing.
>>131264308Real Estate
>>131265379I think people still think about Real Estate. The real forgotten band in that vein is White Denim, who seemingly only exist in the mind of whoever is still updating Gorilla vs Bear.Another couple that I genuinely miss:Local NativesSurfer Blood
>>131265370It's only depressing if you want it to be, nigga.
>>131265102>Flight of the ConchordsI literally just finished rewatching the series lol
>>131264308Relient KLiz Phairand I wanna say Staind, Trapt and Godsmack but they probably still have a vocal fanbase
>>131264308Com Truise was on all the study playlists. Heard so much of him through grad school.
>>131265379>>131265410I feel like Real Estate is forgotten in relation to how iconic of the time their sound was.

>>131264308braid's "native speaker" is a track I still listen to. It's anco worship but it's actually goodBalam Acab's early singles "just stay" and "come true" were legit very very good when they came out, as well as the sun/moon thing. I still hit that shit sometimesbut yeah all good examples. I liked that Tallest man debut but his second shit was ass and ofc the one that semi blew up, but everything else on here completely forgotten about to me>>131265471the og ducktails releases were that for me. That type of lo-fi beachy indie bullshit was charming then, but by the time real estate came around it already felt like a mockery of itself to mehttps://youtu.be/yeQNIk_9pWY>>131265938battles first few releases still go. Horrors 100% landfill but "i only think of you" I still hit sometimes, doubt anybody else does tho>>131265450liz phair no way. I dated a 25 year old recently and she was a big liz phair fan. I am too but she was the perfect example of taste guided by algo. She's remembered fondly
>>131265071I'm pretty sure that Chelsea Dagger is still the Blackhawks goal song
waxahatchee
>>131265938The Horrors had their first album in 8 years last year, it was fine but not as good as their older albums
>>131265918Last Kenny Wayne concert I went to was absolutely packed. He's also responsible for most of Mel Gibson's grandchildren.

>>131268280Atlantis to Interzone was randomly playing in my head for an entire day a little while ago. Not a bad album at all.
/mu/ used to love this album
>>131269456I heard that song again when playing NFS ProStreeetThat soundtrack is filled with forgotten indie bands
>>131264308>band so forgettable that I'm the first person in here to bring them up
>>131269503FIFA's also very good for remembering the hipster zeitgeist of those days. Several of the bands mentioned here were on the FIFA soundtracks.
>>131269526You're the first one to bring it up because it doesn't fit the topic of the thread retard
>>131269598The Antlers are 100% the very definition of a landfill act. Hospice at one point was considered /mu/core. This shit made grown men unironically cry. Everything about this band was a passing fad.
>>131266261Only GenX remembers these bands
>>131268130Alvvays and Real Estate both just capture that decade in a kind of soundtrack way. Wouldn't be surprised to see entire used in a movie to give a sense of time period 20-30 years from now.

The Teardrop Explodes.
>>131270942Those are all still talked about from time to timeWe had a resident Ladytron spammer here a few years ago
>>131271115They were never that big and only have one albumJulian Cope is better known for his solo career and his writing
>>131271152Hes kinda forgotten too though. I have introduced "Reynard The Fox" to every person I ever played it for.
Before Hotline Miami, Sun Araw (and the guys other project Magic Lantern) were primarily in blogosphere rotation. If not for that game still somehow attracting idiot kids he'd be pretty squarely on this list.
Would you consider Royal Blood forgotten? Their first album was pretty good but after that they have progressively kept getting worseThe new single sounds okhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wpLO66IOpv0
>>131271191Perturbator would probably never get so big if not for that game
>>131271191>>131271242That game along with Drive completely changed the landscape of internet edm with the popularization of synthwave music. The influence of its soundtrack(s) cannot be overstated. A gazillion kids started making 80s inspired synth music through it, and it further exploded with the great youtube channels that were making custom music videos to go along with it. Thinking of Neros77 and LuigiDonatello. Fun times.And yeah the non edm tracks are fantastic too. I don't know if anybody would remember the Castanets or Coconuts as much if it weren't for it.

>>131271234Fall from their peak but still somewhat remembered. I hear them talked about in the wild.
Fat White Family
>>131271654Such terrible, terrible band names. I get nostalgic for ye days of olde then come across this shit and recoil
>>131264308Beach House has way more followers on Spotify than cut copy but in the grand scheme of things are either band really that relevant? I haven’t heard either band mentioned in casual conversation…. possibly ever in my entire life? Granted I spent most of my time around normie’s who will probably bring up Taylor Swift, or Ye’s latest exploits if they’re gonna talk about musicians at all. That’s pretty much what real people in real life talk about as it relates to music. Music nerds remember beach house but they also remember cut copy.
Remember fucking Cherry Glazerr
>>131265450My local alt rock radio station plays those 3 bands among others daily
I wanna say Die Antwoord they’re definitely getting there at peast. They posted a trailer for their documentary and it only has like 15k views. They remind me of the kid(s) that would get popular for basically being a freakshow act with the other classmates but nobody actually liked them and any controversy would take it all away
>>131273703I also wanted to say James Blake, and Bon Iver and anyone that was in Odd Future that isn’t Frank Ocean or Tyler or Earl. Everyone forgot about the other projects attached to it like Mellowhype
>>131269493I did, but they were never as good after it.
>>131273718>James Blake, and Bon IverAlthough their heydays are long over, I'd hardly categorize them as forgotten.
>>131273718Domo Genesis had a small comeback of sorts after getting completely sidetracked for a few years. Hodgy turned to making folk music but I don't know if it has landed him any new fans at all. I'm more bummed about Mike G and Left Brain disappearing into the ether

Shiny Toy Guns
>>131270942Two Door Cinema Club is remembered solely for being so of their time that they've become emblematic of it. You couldn't use Youtube for music in the early 2010s without stumbling across them.

Not so many years ago YouYube would autoplay Space Song every third song. This, and maybe one or two more songs, have probably been caught up by the algorithms and show up on normie Spotify playlists, so a lot of people now know them by name and a couple of songs too, but they are not as "massive" as those numbers would suggest. I think they still have a rather cult-following, which I am glad to say, because they're one of my favorite bands.
>>131276121>The thing about Beach House is they got very lucky with the algorithmsame with Cigarettes After Sex
>>131276091Never heard of any of these
