Prediction: there will be a huge revival of guitar rock within the next 5 years. rap and particularly trap will become a meme. hip black people will start discovering indie rock and punk and spreading it to the normies. you'll see a lot of black dudes playing guitar and black indie and punk bands.
remember: black people don't want to like what normie white people like. cool people don't want to like what lame as fuck people like. you already see this in shit happening with stuff like pic-related.
blacks already make indie rock and the art school kids are into it already. this guy has some buzz and worked with suckdick lamar and frank. watch for late 2017/18 youtube.com/watch?v=zLKLPEBU7iU

guitar rock is dead my nig
there's nothing that sounds more generic than guitar rock.
Grayson Harris
This is literally Frank Ocean vocals over Mac Demarco guitar. Some record label is concocting this and it's going to blow up big.

>black people take over rock >we get shitty lyrics about police brutality over ancient riffs >we have to deal with "we wuz tha first rockstars an sheit" >most old rock is considered racist and people try to get rid of it >this is the future white teenagers have created
literally going to happen, look at the pic faggot. i guarantee it. screenshot this post come back in 5 years if you haven't won a darwin award.
Gabriel Reed
That is way too white for any black man
If we're talking Pavement/GBV/Archers of Loaf/Sebadoh/Jad Fair and all that there's no way that will ever catch on with anyone who isn't a white suburban young adult.
Adrian Watson
yup
Jeremiah Ward
>there's nothing that sounds more generic than guitar rock.
literally trap.

>implying ivy and self control aren't what you just described Face it, blonde is not as good as you think it is
James Kelly
that's what they said about southern rap and white people in the early 2000s user.
Nathaniel Sanders
So Speedin' Bullet 2 Heaven will end up being regarded as a misunderstood masterpiece that came out too early?
Chase Ortiz
dean blunt has been doing this since 2010 same with james ferraro you're already late op
Leo Scott
Your poor strawmanning doesn't really work if you know a single thing about music history
Alexander Taylor
I have an autistic theory: black people tend to prefer groove and rhythm driven music like dance/funk/R&b.
College indie is like the opposite of that, very feedbacky and esoteric lyrics and weird song structures.
Jace Russell
Ferraro's black? I've only seen like that one picture of him, he looks like a Flip or something to me.
Bentley Morales
hes half black
Ethan Bennett
anyway as a black dude. you got the upper middle class black kids that fuck with gambino and mac demarco. so you might see them fuck around with indie. but the shit i hear in my area kinda sucks. they will probably end up with some buzz cause p4k gives us some extra points.
but idk i'd rather them go a frank ocean or dean blunt route and make up their own genres. instead of just replacing same old white cliches just with a blackface. seems kinda pointless you know
Joshua Rogers
IDK, my brown ex fell in love with Pavement when I showed them to her
Matthew Jenkins
>tfw no qt thicc black gf to listen to slanted and enchanted with
Nathan Carter
im black and listen to that stuff tho i prefer red house painters/slowcore side of indie rock.
Kevin Lee
in 5 years absolutely no chance. Try 25 or more and you might have a point.
Landon Walker
just put yourself out there bro, someone for everyone :)
Kevin Williams
>tfw me and two black friends are already doing this
Connor Long
listened to it for the first time a few months ago and it was actually better than what id expected from reading what other people had to say about it desu
Owen James
black kids already like slouch rock like Mac DeMarco and King Krule get with the times old man
Samuel Cook
that i could see actually
Carter Price
i agree, but i also thing that the two elements need each other if theyre going to stay fresh/relevent going forward imo
Nah, black music is gonna move into Neo-Soul even more, mixing it with R&B, then there will probably be a G-Funk revival after that. Guitar-only music isn't gonna face any kind of critical revival any time soon, because any remotely interesting and acclaimed band right now is already using/trying to use synths. Qotsa, National, Bon Iver, all were analogue-based until recently, and those are the acts that don't sound exactly like the guys that love to evolve. There will still be a niche for the non-synth rock bands too, but mostly with the defener crowd, since Foo Fighters are still a meme, and noone else cares about them. Meanwhile metal fans will still be eating each other because their favorite artist is either not being metal enough, or is doing the same stuff and it's "generic"
If anything, I think there's gonna be a bit of an IDM revival soon that's based around analogue/modular. LCD SS will probably help drive that a bit.
