>muh per capita
>"""huge""" influence

stay irrelevant small zealand

nice refutal you have me convinced

fresh meme my man

>any of those artists
>influential

The dunedin sound had a vague passing influence on one or two jangle pop artists. If that's a "huge influence" on "popular music" then fuck me the bee gees are the most influential artist of all time.

Show me a better track in these genres: (or in salmonella dubs case, a better album)

(Excluding Isis - They are better in this genre imo)

And we can do hip hop
youtube.com/watch?v=BRFKhXmfIPQ

And metal
youtube.com/watch?v=MFRX-fK3KBU

Without New Zealand's world class indie rock scene in the 80's, we wouldn't have bands like Pavement, DIIV, Wild Nothing, Beach Fossils..

Reminder that the ONLY think that Poo Peeland has contributed to global music is Slice of Heaven.

Reminder that Poo Peelanders will unironically use a small off-hand mention of their """revolutionary scene""" on REM's wikipedia page as being a "huge influence".

Reminder that outside of this one mention, not a single artist from another country has taken influence from a Poo Peeland artist.

+ REM

influence =/= devoid of talent.

Might need to reword OP next time
"How does one country with a very small population manage to produce such a large amount of high quality music in so many varied genres?"

This.

Very small, very isolated. To think of the enormous amount of quality releases that came outta NZ in the 80's is pretty mind blowing really.

>very small population
>large amount
>high quality music
>varied genres

Let me fix that for you

>quite a large population, all very well educated
>fuck all
>derivative garbage
>dub, "reggae" and jangly indie rock. Oh, and some lame thrash metal.

>poo peeland

New Zealand did nothing wrong.

Now look at the contemporary classical composers from NZ. Very talented bunch.

Find me a better saxophone concerto

youtube.com/watch?v=-eN7HCtliYQ

How come no one has mentioned the dark third, new zealand's greatest ever progressive rock group?

>Poo Peeland.

Nice one man. Sure going to take your opinions seriously.

I want Sup Forums to leave.

For those who like jangle pop/psych/shoegaze/noise pop/outsider folk, 80's NZ is fucking GOAT

I can't believe it! A thread about nz music and nobody is mentioning fat freddy's drop

>LE FUGGGG LE ESSS PEEE XDXDXDDXDXX FUGG LE ZPORRTTSSSZZZZ

kys

That's because they're shit.

Reminder this is an 18+ board, adding LE FUGG XD XD to what somebody else said is not contributing to the discussion in any way

Yes this is an 18+ board, and I would like to remind you that irrationally hating sports is characteristic of edgy 15 year olds, and irrationally hating fun is characteristic of bullied edgy 15 year olds. Maybe it is YOU who is underage?

These bands are held in very high regard amongst those who don't post in kpop threads

SPRAY AND WALK AWAY

This

Literally nothing from nz is actually globally relevant so the closest thing to it gets overrated by an impossibly large amount as a form of damage control over the fact that our most influential musician is some literally who bedroom band from the 80s

Smith's City!
Has it all!

name a better indie/diy scene from the 80's that isn't in the UK or US

Sup Forums post yfw you will never fuck Suzy Cato

fuck what is this thumbnail bullshit my bad guys

/squirt/ ww@

Whenever I fantisise about making an impact on the world through art, I remember that I'm from New Zealand so it's literally impossible.

me too sole

What are the best current NZ bands?

I'll start, Trust Punks

bro can I look at your phone? gizalook g? don't be a stink guy au... come on g

gotta dolla?

Question to non New Zealanders:
Does it feel good to live in a culturally important country, or do you just take it for granted?

Goat

goddamn don't listen to those guys. NZ is a culturally important country. There was a lot of substance to your music scene which is a lot more than can be said for most countries.

Anyone here heard/like Soda Boyz? pretty cool Palmy band I'm going to see on Saturday

>tfw becuase of this thread you listen to Scribe: Dreaming for the first time in 9 years
holy fuck it makes me sad man. I remember a time during 2003-2006 you couldn't go anywhere in NZ without hearing Scribe. This song was special because it was about him struggling for years with drugs and other shit and finally making it. Cue to 2016 and he doesn't even make music anymore and apparently he was back addicted to meth. Apparently he sold all his NZ Music Awards to pay for it. That shit fucks me up man i thought he had made it out. RIP Scribe
