Is indie rock dead?
This decade has hardly produced any memorable albums or bands for the genre and Pitchfork continues to circle jerk over the new Beyonce or Drake album to even go back to its indie roots

Half those albums aren't indie rock though
Hopefully it'll stay dead
It's even worse than ''''''experimental''''' rap and white guilt pop
indie rock dies the minute you turn 23.
Is that the age you start to only listen to classical music?
this is about it
your right
Yeah, "indie"'s time in the sun is over. Thank God, hopefully that's the end for that limp-wristed garbage.
and lots of Italian opera too...
The rest are fucking garbage.
literally kys
Everything there is fucking classic
Go back to jerking your shit covered dick to solange or whatever.
Log off mate
"indie rock" isn't dead. it was a term used by morons to describe rock music that was remotely subversive. now that the idiots have moved on rock can do so too.
wayyy overrated
Nothing is worse than rap and hip hop, not even backroad beer drinking country pop.
Rock in general is practically dead
Tame Impala is the only memorable act of this decade
>lame impala
>lame impala

how is MPP indie rock????????????????????
how is person pitch indie rock???????????
how the fuck is a post punk revial album indie rock
go fucking kill yourself
What is considered indie rock? What is the criteria a band must meet to be indie? Isn't all that based on your own opinion
youtube.com
this is my favourite indie rock band
post punk revival, post "of montreal" pop rock bands, and modern poppy folk are now under the umbrella of indie
Dont fucking genre grub lol its for categorization convenience
the context and tradition out of which all those albums were born are similar enough for it to be appropriate to group them under a term for convenience's sake
Parquet Courts have had several albums that were top 10 of the year in their respective years in this decade.
so its not indie rock then. you literally are just grouping a bunch of albums that sound nothing a like. no wonder you can't find music
so why can't op listen to viet cong, king gizzard, tame impala, father john misty, savages, sufjan stevens, ariel pink, jamie xx, grimes, arctic monkeys and tame impala
even vampire weekend has made a better album than the in the OP
>viet cong, king gizzard, tame impala, father john misty, savages, sufjan stevens, ariel pink, jamie xx, grimes, arctic monkeys and tame impala
Most of those artists are from the 2000s or haven't made an impressionable album compared to the picture I posted
I strongly disagree but luckily for you we have technology so you can stay in nostalgia land all you want.
also pitchfork pans drake albums.
>illinois
>mpp
>person pitch
>indie rock
Rock is dead in general my dude
Just move on
Some incredibly exciting, challenging, and forward thinking music is being made right now and you guys are still focused on rock, i dont get it. Its had its heyday and its over
for example ?
actually MPP is the album that killed indie rock.
>you can stay in nostalgia land all you want.
I would rather be there than here.
The best rock album of 2016 was made by a band from the 90s
if you're referring to that weezer album then i think you just have bad taste
He clearly means Radiohead you disfunctional fucking autist.
>chamber pop = rock music
again u have bad taste and don't know what indie rock is
>best rock album
>no mention of indie
Your autism is showing.
AMSP is art rock which is a subgenre of rock
I never said it was indie I said that it was the most memorable rock album of 2016, which could also go to Bowie but that's mainly because of the coverage of his death
but the radiohead album wasn't rock. so whats your point again?
it was never alive
it's not art rock, it's art pop/chamber pop, with maybe a bit of alt rock
get your ears checked
if you're gonna go for the art rock angle why not include swans album or nick caves or even xiu xiu
heck the swans trilogy is better than every album in the OP
Its a subgenre of rock mixed with electronic, the same with In Rainbows and TKOL
I completely forgot about that Swans record. It was hardly discussed here
>Its a subgenre of rock mixed with electronic
thats not what art rock is..............
Art rock is the subgenre you autist
An album doesn't exclusively have to belong to one genre
I felt the same way
Then I realized metal is the superior genre which still produces great albums
>An album doesn't exclusively have to belong to one genre
okay so its chamber pop also
That's like saying The Beatles weren't rock because they also incorporated pop into their songs
>browses rym once
Dumb bleepfag
you just said
>album doesn't exclusively have to belong to one genre
check out chamber pop and art pop also if you want more music
>thinking post-punk exists
>being this retarded
how does it not exist you mong
Indie is garbage for nu-males, rock died with Oasis and Nirvana
>2017
>falling for memes
>falling for le 80's NYC meme
>Vektor
the TPAB of metal. that's both a good thing and a bad thing.
>Ulcerate
was aight
>Insomnium
awesome album
>Oranssi
awesome album
>Be'lakor
good, but not Stone's Reach-tier good
>Saor
solid
>Obscura
better than expected, if Cynic never went away from tech death they probably would've made this.
2016 was a really good year for metal, but your collage is missing my favorite from that genre last year.
buzzwords!
Indie rock is basically dead, and I'm kinda glad, but fuck I wish it wasn't replaced by trap rap.
>in the past 40 years genres have come and gone
>everyone has made fun of metal since the 90s
>it's the one genre that's still alive and active years later
eheheheheh
>defending post-punk
>not a buzzword
>in a thread about a fucking buzzword

It's a lot easier to make a hip hop or electronic album now, compared to 10 years ago.
Meanwhile, making a rock record is as hard as ever.
