If it isn't gay acoustic shit that only teenage girls like then it's gay Indie bands with monosyllabic names who are obsessed with using reverb on everything. And don't even get me started on shitty pop punk with their stupid edgy ironic names.
Only good bands to come out over the past ten years are Foals, The Gaslight Anthem, Royal Blood and Alt-J. Everything else has been awful.
Hip Hop has taken the bad boy image that Rock used to hold. It's that simple.
Aiden Miller
youre moms gay lol
Jonathan Lewis
It's always had that image though. Even when N.W.A. were about it was still a great era for rock music, with the likes of Pixies and The Stone Roses in their prime.

>Foals, The Gaslight Anthem, Royal Blood and Alt-J >good bands I guess Alt-J has a few catchy songs but that doesn't redeem this terrible list.
Good guitar-based music since 2007: >Battles - Mirrored >The Flaming Lips - Embryonic >Fleet Foxes - Fleet Foxes >Mac DeMarco - 2 >Murmuüre - Murmuüre (not sure if this counts but it's good) >Portishead - Third >St. Vincent - Marry Me >You Slut! - Critical Meat
Christian Diaz
Good guitar music still exists, it's just not as mainstream as it used to be. You could always jump on the emogaze bandwagon.
And then theres telstar drugs, dories, and more. Women influenced a fuckton of canadian bands.
Michael Robinson
guitar music is a shit term and your examples are bait tier
Carter Gonzalez
never that..them...pretty fucking cool.
Landon Hernandez
thanks man, will check them out
Ethan Brooks
>hurrhurr bass guitar is not a guitar
Connor Hernandez
maybe you should look for the merits in those bands and why other people like them rather than complain they don't suit your own tastes ykno just a thought
Caleb Smith
Thank you, I've been yearning for more stuff like this for a while. Check out Palm, too.
Xavier Jones
Are you that much of a scrub that you can't find good music with guitar in it?
Carson Robinson
Saw these guys Live at The Rave in Milwaukee WI
They fucking sucked man, their opening act was miles above them and just obliterated and out played them.
Landon Ward
>royal blood isn't that the really shitty, bland QOTSA/ Big Business rip off?
Easton Lopez
definietly check out telstar drugs
Camden Roberts
If you want to get into real modern British guitar music stop reading the NME and look elsewhere. Listen to Marc Riley's show on 6music. There's usually one have decent band of that ilk played every night.
Nicholas James
I mean it's not?
Aaron Rodriguez
>guitar-based music >St. Vincent - Marry Me
Of all the album's made by St. Vincent you pick Marry Me to represent guitar music. Why not pick Actor or Strange Mercy.
Whilst I'd usually be inclined to agree, I truly believe that most audiences wouldn't realise if they even heard these so called 'good musicians'. They clearly don't see any problem with the lifeless sounds coming from bands such as the ones OP listed (including the one's he said were good, in fact, especially those ones). It's a problem with what is now considered good, the bar hasn't just been set low but a sound has developed from it which is dull and uninspired. Bands now get praised for being derivative, the amount of times I've seen youtube comments saying things like "this band is bringing back that 90s sound, when music was actually good" I die a little inside every time.

>chooses a DJent band as an example of good modern guitar based music wew
Ryan Perez
Nice elevator metal
Nathan Perry
Animals as Leaders are way more than just a Djent band >says music is shit now >doesn't give any new music a chance
I wasn't OP and I love lots of new music but I certainly don't like Animals as Leaders, or any music that sounds as cold and calculated as that. I will say that I did enjoy Abasi's Tram side project.
Examples of modern guitar bands I enjoy: Battles Protomartyr Preoccupations Deerhunter Parquet Courts Ought Total Control Metz Thee Oh Sees Pissed Jeans
Wow... writing out that list I realised how few there actually are
Asher Kelly
Third sucked.
Brandon Perry
>Third sucked. It was the best album of 2008 GTFO
David Brown
Lot of cool noisy shit like metz/pissed jeans/girl band etc been coming out lately for sure
It's always nice when retarded Americans make themselves known
Christian Turner
>describing the time of Ween with "pixies and stone roses"
fuck off reddit
Oliver Green
>flaming lips >mac demarco >st vincent >fleet foxes
Man I remember being a basic indie bitch who only likes p4k approved embryocore too
Cooper Morgan
>guitar music Implying all music with guitars, holy crap listen to more music
Dominic Williams
Guys, what are your favorite albums?
Juan Peterson
how dare you include Flaming Lips on that list of hacks
Lucas Gonzalez
Man, I remember being an immature pleb who knee-jerkingly hates everything Pitchfork likes too.
Oh wait, no I don't.
Elijah Powell
The flaming lips fucking suck
Jaxson Price
If Govan dialed his playing back a bit instead of playing as many notes as he can in a given time interval then maybe his music would actually be enjoyable to listen to.
Robert Martinez
Fuck off bleepfag
Brody Gutierrez
Ty Segall niggers
Nolan Cook
Wow you listen to shit All those bands are untalented hacks especially Alt J
Jayden Nguyen
Kek basic indie bitches hating on the best guitarist of our generation
Camden Hernandez
Laur Joamets?
Jonathan Miller
pretentious little pussys
Dylan Foster
Literally who
Camden Lee
listen to bluegrass if you want to hear people playing guitars like they mean it.
