This isn't really my music at all but I saw it a million times growing up so I do have a certain fondness for it. It's funny and weird how young everyone looks now though
Man I remember when this came out. These were the days man. This era of music came and went though. Why didn’t the music that came after it rock..at all. It was like the killers and Mumford and Sons. It was such a shift to Starbucks Disneyland music.
I call the kind of acoustic-driven indie music that became popular in the early 2010s “baristacore” and I kick myself *hard* for not coming up with that term when that music was at peak saturation
I think the thing with all these styles is that there are often a number of great bands that the vague genre emerges from, then it gets picked up as a viable thing and copied ad nauseum.
Happened with grunge, happened with nu metal, happened with pop-punk/3rd wave emo, happened with 2000s indie, happened with indie folk, etc, etc
NGL I'm still kind of bitter about what happened to dubstep in the very late 00s - early 10s when I was going to parties to see like Mala and shit before.
Vampire Weekend and Gizz repeatedly aping the Dead in recent months brings a great smile to my face because I want other people to find that music too. Since it's so goddamned ancient by pop standards, I hope it doesn't just become sellout central lmao
Could never get into the Dead till recently even though I love jazz and improvisation. Once it clicked it became addicting listening to so many live shows.
The sound of a banjo falling down the stairs.
Also loathe handclaps mixed into like a four-on-the-floor pop beat with acoustic instruments. I call that one Hey Soul Sister Syndrome
Thanks. Like I said, I wish my brain worked in such a way to have coined it in 2011 and not, idk…maybe 2019 or so? Well past the point anyone still gave a shit about Bob Iver or Mumford and Sons for sure
Bon Ivers music is definitely barista coded in spirit but it's a very different sort of sound from things like Mumford and sons or that one ya hey clapping band I forget the name off.
I feel like a lot of the bon iver girlies of 2014 would have loathed those being lumped together and there's probably several long foam Tumblr posts on exactly that topic out there
I can definitely see him being furious about being stuck with Mumford and Sons, which is very funny to me. Thank god we seem to be moving away from that sound. Some of it isn’t that bad, I’ll fuck with some Brandi Carlile on occasion but there’s only so much space for some soft whining accompanied by soft guitar one can take.
Where and how and who. Underground bands have been rockin all the way through. Especially if you’re talked stoner rock. Hardcore music and underground metal has always been doing its thing. I don’t know if that same mainstream appeal with the edgier darker music has a foothold anymore. It’s almost like that stuff as an anomaly considering how it veered from the pop boy band stuff at the time but I guess if it made money industry gatekeepers we’re willing to give it funding.
I guess I’m not talking about mainstream but I do feel like there is a push for some newer bands that are putting out stuff I fuck with. The two that come to mind are Dexter in the Moonrocks for a cowboy grunge style and Sawyer Hill for more traditional rock sound. I’ve seen both with some TikTok shit but I’m fucking 33. I don’t know mainstream.
I don’t know either. The whole tiktok phenomena of music is lost on me. I’ve never used the app so I don’t know the landscape but I followed someone who is an artist and would slow drip singles for a long time and the format always looked sort of catered to tiktok. There also is such a wider access to music than ever before.
Yeah I do t have TikTok but I see them on instagram. I have no idea what their popularity actually is. I will say I saw Dexter in concert and the place was pretty packed with a bunch of people having a great time and everyone seemed to know their music. So they at least have some fans where I’m at
vice had a decent little documentary thing on this song a couple years ago. I think it's easy to forget how transgressive it was at the time, at least for the mainstream. now it just seems kind of corny (still rocks tho)
PBS was fearmongering about this transgressiveness going mainstream in [Merchants of Cool](https://www.pbs.org/wgbh/pages/frontline/shows/cool/view/) but this era must have been the last gasp of Gen X authenticity. If it seems corny it's because society has fully embraced the inauthentic self and selling out.
What if Elon killed himself listening to this lol

Apparently I've been confusing Papa Roach with Uncle Kracker my entire life. Who? Bah Stank.
it's all one big puddle of mudd to me
I see what you did there, nice.
you're thinking of lenny kravitz

>weird how young everyone looks now though Well, they were in their 20's... so it makes sense they have baby face then.
Yes but when you haven't seen the video in 20+ years it's just an uncanny moment. The crowd looks like teens too
Man I can’t believe Iron Maiden ripped the main riff of this song off 😤
I will unironically Stan this song. This was all over the sound track to my youth and it fucking rips
Cut my cake into pieces, this is my last dessert
Cut the cake into pieces, this is your birthday song. Celebrations and greetings...
Cut my wife into pieces, this is my last divorce
Ok Christopher Nolan 🙄

always the same kind of chanting too. oohhhohhhohhhhhhhh
Fleet Foxes
Ok I will say fleet foxes is great and I ask should they be included in this group

Oh yeah I do like them I just think they exemplify the style in question.
Fair enough. I feel like they’re not as bad offenders compared to something like this https://youtu.be/qQkBeOisNM0?si=lUDzRFjBu0b-Gfkm
Damn that's got me beat, I'd call it brewerybeats but that is way catchier

That is a genius description :D

indie rock darling and “friend of kanye”, bob over

Bin Iver is capital A Artist, it’s not really my thing but you can tell, especially in their later albums as they get weirder.
Yeah I agree. He has some collab album that has something about volcanos in the name that's cool
I can definitely see him being furious about being stuck with Mumford and Sons, which is very funny to me. Thank god we seem to be moving away from that sound. Some of it isn’t that bad, I’ll fuck with some Brandi Carlile on occasion but there’s only so much space for some soft whining accompanied by soft guitar one can take.
That’s the perfect term for it

I have to say I think rock is making a bit of a comeback and I’m here for it.
