Why is modern guitar music so shit?

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.

How can we save guitar music, Sup Forums?

bedding taylor swift

Yeah op neither i've listened to guthrie govan

lol fuck off underage

Hip Hop has taken the bad boy image that Rock used to hold. It's that simple.

youre moms gay lol

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

Good guitar music still exists, it's just not as mainstream as it used to be. You could always jump on the emogaze bandwagon.

I really like the band Women

What are some Women soundalikes?

>modern guitar music

youtube.com/watch?v=OJJXNJo-c3Q

Here's some stuff so you can delete this shit thread after you check it out op
>Delicate Steve
>Rob Crow
>Built to Spill
>Maps and Atlases

but it already peaked like 4 years ago
airs.bandcamp.com/album/adore

I know you are stupid and don't listen to much music because you didn't mention Women.

>endless reverb of like one chord and like one or two cool riffs here and there

Yea sure is some great guitar music

What about king gizzard?

Also royal blood literally doesnt have a guitarist....

Bass drum of death are pretty good

Oh man this is right up my alley ive been listening to a ton of Women and Women soundalikes recently

Preoccupations/Viet Cong's first album (more of the noisy side, literally has 2 of Women's members youtube.com/watch?v=V5IOS41vePk

Corridor (more of the pretty side) youtube.com/watch?v=UlO_XhHLTCw

Faux Fur (literally has two of the dudes from Women's little brother in it) youtube.com/watch?v=-yPlF0p2iLk

And then theres telstar drugs, dories, and more. Women influenced a fuckton of canadian bands.

guitar music is a shit term and your examples are bait tier

never that..them...pretty fucking cool.

thanks man, will check them out

>hurrhurr bass guitar is not a guitar

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

Thank you, I've been yearning for more stuff like this for a while.
Check out Palm, too.

Are you that much of a scrub that you can't find good music with guitar in it?

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.

>royal blood
isn't that the really shitty, bland QOTSA/ Big Business rip off?

definietly check out telstar drugs

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.

I mean it's not?

>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.

listen to this song you plebs

>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.

wew, schools out

Is actually a good thing, less competition for good musicians

youtube.com/watch?v=g68hQ4zJ3t0&list=LL_QBEPKiOj6Dm6CQ1oaQ9kw&index=64

youtube.com/watch?v=TWfeaccy68s&list=LL_QBEPKiOj6Dm6CQ1oaQ9kw&index=63

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

Nice elevator metal

Animals as Leaders are way more than just a Djent band
>says music is shit now
>doesn't give any new music a chance

Guthrie Govan is GOAT, fuck off faggot

There's some interesting guitar music for you.

There is still good modern guitar music
But mostly in metal

Here's some good stuff from last year

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

Third sucked.

>Third sucked.
It was the best album of 2008 GTFO

Lot of cool noisy shit like metz/pissed jeans/girl band etc been coming out lately for sure

How does 2010s music even compete

>Whilst

Holy shit, had to stop right there

fuck you you pleb if you dont listen to the Mule

youtube.com/watch?v=dLlM2KfBqe4

It's always nice when retarded Americans make themselves known

>describing the time of Ween with "pixies and stone roses"

fuck off reddit

>flaming lips
>mac demarco
>st vincent
>fleet foxes

Man I remember being a basic indie bitch who only likes p4k approved embryocore too

>guitar music
Implying all music with guitars, holy crap listen to more music

Guys, what are your favorite albums?

how dare you include Flaming Lips on that list of hacks

Man, I remember being an immature pleb who knee-jerkingly hates everything Pitchfork likes too.

Oh wait, no I don't.

The flaming lips fucking suck

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.

Fuck off bleepfag

Ty Segall niggers

Wow you listen to shit
All those bands are untalented hacks especially Alt J

Kek basic indie bitches hating on the best guitarist of our generation

Laur Joamets?

pretentious little pussys

Literally who

listen to bluegrass if you want to hear people playing guitars like they mean it.
