because of talent?

CREATIVITY!

That perfect mix of bad aesthetics, bad fashion sense and sterile, flaccid synthesized pop music was absolutely the perfect platform for the lackadaisical Brits to shine.
Angel Adams
Wake me up
Jayden Reyes
British pop music > American pop music beause Britons have class consciousness desu, none of the ever-present American snowflake bullshit
Jack Ortiz
Brit Music peaked from 1967 to around 1994. Then all went downhill (except Radiohead)
Wyatt Lopez
Yep.
Andrew Robinson
What we lack in class and wealth-standing consciousness we make up for in social and race consciousness, which you severely lack in. See how it balances out?
Oliver Davis
>60's: Beatles, The Kinks, King Crimson, The Zombies, Syd Barrett, The Rolling Stones
>70's: The Clash, Pink Floyd, David Bowie, Nick Drake, Joy Division, Led Zeppelin
>80's: The Smiths, The Stone Roses, The Cure, Kate Bush, Talk Talk, The Jesus and Mary Chain
>90's: Radiohead, Portishead, Slowdive, Massive Attack, Blur, Depeche Mode
>00's: Radiohead (again), Gorillaz, Arctic Monkeys (?), Franz Ferdinand (?), Coldplay (?)
>10's: Alt-j...
What the hell happened after the turned of the millemium?
Robert Foster
inorite, they don't even use real instruments now
Cooper Scott
Brits moved to electronic music as rock music is dead
Parker Peterson
But there isnt any electronic influencial act. The last ones where all from the 90s trip hop and IDM
Oliver Lopez
Even if you have shit like grime and electronic music the brits have flopped so hard this decade
Almost every single modern relevant and acclaimed musician is American or Canadian
Brody Carter
Because you only know rockist electronic music. You can't do no research into electronic music and expect to know shit
Henry Hughes
Yeas. Even Australian or New Zealand acts like Tame Imapala or Lorde are more critically aclaimed and popular than any British act (except Radiohead).
Christian Howard
>influential
>acclaimed
lls who cares
Benjamin Long
>social and race consciousness
Ah yes, well known for creating wonderful musical genres
Wyatt Bell
>IDM = Rock
Are you retarded? Name on critically aclaimed British electronic act from 2000 to today. You can accept that music fron your country is dead.
Lucas James
Better than belated white-guilt and a flood of memerap with no quality control because that would be racist.
Daniel Gomez
well, rap's current platform is based on the latter and it is rap's golden era so
yeah
Charles Bailey
Yeah the foundation of punk, house music and roughly 90% of black music of the 20 and 21st centuries (blues, funk, jazz, hip-hop). Well known indeed.
Levi Howard

Are you trying your best to look like you just blew in from Reddit?
Henry King
what are you talking about? the biggest artists of the 80s were artists like Michael Jackson, Madonna, Springsteen, Prince, and Whitney Houston.
Samuel Evans
All suck
Gabriel Wilson
SOPHIE, Hannah Diamond, AG Cook, and basically anyone in the PC Music label or associated with PC Music
try again friendo
Jaxon Garcia
MJ and Madonna for sure but the other 3 were still big but not on the same level overseas. Prince and Whitney for a time maybe, but only MJ and Madonna were established worldwide icons.
Jose Ward
>it is rap's golden era so
Hip hop poptimism at its finest
Ayden Johnson
lol yeah dude joke pastiche music
Actual best thing these Brits can come up with
Ryder Sullivan
A buch of no ones. kek. America won loser.
Henry Watson
Everyone was upset about Margaret Thatcher. Gave them something to rebel against
Caleb Brown
i'm assuming this guys a retard. is PC music really critically acclaimed electronic music by electronic music fans? it's considered good electronic music?
Anthony Bennett
how the fuck can you even argue against that when Kendrick Lamar and Chance the Rapper are releasing music? Even lesser quality acts like Anderson .Paak, Kanye West, and Azealia Banks are releasing better music than the majority of the 2000's and a lot of the 90's
get outta here
Landon Foster
60's>70's>90's>80's
Noah Hill
They all suck compared to Aphex Twins, Massive Attack or The Prodigy
Brit Music died. Accept it
Caleb Flores
I mean, critical acclaim is quantifiable and they don't lack in that front

these are literally the first articles that come up when you search PC Music
I agree with AT, but MA is severely overrated.
Noah Collins
"You" don't agree with anything unless a critic told you to or not.
Christian Hall
i know that magazines like them, but they also think trap is good. do electronic fans/critics generally think pc music is a good representation of quality electronic music?
Juan Barnes
this
Lucas Ortiz
yeah sure friendo :^)
Also, considering that p4k gave "Product" like a 4 and it was my favorite album of 2015 I really wouldn't say that about myself
>PC music really critically acclaimed electronic music by electronic music fans? it's considered good electronic music?
I misread that part, my bad.
I mean, as an IDM and EDM fan that also has friends who enjoy IDM and EDM, we love PC Music (and SOPHIE) quite a bit. Although that's anecdotal, I don't think we're the exception.
Dylan Young
wait p4k gave it a 6.6 my bad
still tho, I wouldn't say that music publications change or influence my opinion as much as your weak argument needs them to
Joseph Evans
60's - 00' you mean??? now I've never been, but I can't imagine there's much else to do in the great british isles but to try and be creative in some way... amirite here britbongs?
Hunter Ortiz
probably something to do with thatcher
Luke Nguyen
>it is rap's golden era so
Lol what planet are you on shit is trash right now (at least for mainstream hip hop in the US)
Brayden Baker
Dunno about you fags, but British punk was goddamn dead in the 80's.
