Are we witnessing the birth of a new musical zeitgeist with the emergence of Pablo the Boy, Rex Orange, Alex G and others?

I prefer the japanese version youtube.com
mariachi mac demarco
...
i would like to see rock shove itself back into the mainstream, but i hope its not this group. i'm really not a big on the whole "laid-back" rock sort of thing aside from real estate.
Pablo shut the fuck up we know you want views and promotion but no one here is going to like your shitty teenage poseur garbage. Fuck off.
hahaha random
Not even a big fan of him but lumping Alex G in with youtube recommended-core is unfair
Get Alex G off this list you teen fuck.
pretty much on the same level as andy sixx and ugandan knuckles except with more ebola and shit eating

best age of music. destroy major record labels. diy scene for lyfe
>with the emergence of Alex G
>new musical zeitgeist
>new
your point?
The tumblr low-effort-ironically-lo-fi aesthetic everyone's celebrating right now is so easy to make that if you are a musician and want to make it big, you couldn't have it easier.
You don't even need to sell out, just put some jangly guitars in your songs and some shitty filters in your videos, there you have it, the next Boy Pablo.
rex orange is really talented and princess apricot is a great album, alex g is way more unpredictable and decent sounding, boy pablo are just a mac copycat
Saged, stop shilling this kid every fucking day
I just realised how common "don't lump Alex G with other musicians" posting is.
you mean pablo collective? they're actually something different
Yes, lets replace record labels with corporate produced rich kids whose daddies pay for free advertising this is totally a better state of affairs.
the lo fi aesthetic is only "in" cus young people are broke in 2018 and guess what age new artists tend to be
Boy Pablo is boneless Mac Demarco and every time I see him shilled here I die a little on the inside
It's called jangle pop and almost all of it is complete fucking garbage
Not really tho, you can film a more than decent video with any modern cellphone, and most of those guys don't dress in those clothes because they're cheap, they just like the aesthetic and making ironic Paint memes.
fucking tard
take it as someone who LITERALLY understands this scene, those clothes are the most expensive thing in most the videos, a lot of this shit IS filmed on Samsung galaxies, and a LOT of these artists are not rich yet.
Are you ok user?
FUCK OFF ASSHOLE
Have a nice day friend
> Rex Orange County
Its alright, bores me a bit. Not sure of if id listen to apricot girl again. Sounds like something you'd hear on adult contemporary radio.
> The boy Pablo
Not bad, not bad at all. The lyrics fall flat at times and the music itself is good. Would probably listen to again.
> Alex G
Listened to his new album last year, i dug it. Didn't really go back to it.
Wouldn't Portugal the Man be at the forefront here? Feel It Still was like the song of the summer
>New musical zeitgeist
>This trash ass band that has been around for almost 15 years trying their hardest to sell out
>Finally struck commercial gold after 8 fucking albums
Fuck this band. I hope they finally give up after their iPad/Vitamin Water royalties.
Is that Brendan Schaub?
the only decent person there is rex
who is the black guy
You're so fucking late you retards. This shit was blowing up in 2016. The Mac Demarco ripoff post-internet bedroom lofi scene has been emerging since whenever Homeshake got big. Boy Pablo sucks ass btw.

Steve Lacy is pretty good.
Out of this scene my favorites are Bane's World, Steve Lacy, Alex G, Mild High Club, Yellow Days. The rest is hit or miss mostly miss.

damn thanks a lot user
i like what ive heard from lacy
no in all seriousness, we need a name for them. post-tumblr?
Yea
>boneless Mac Demarco
damn right
It's literally called post-internet.
>post-internet
It literally isn't.
isn't that like Amnesia Scanner or WWWINGS or some shit
It's been called "bedroom pop" or "post-internet" or "jizz jazz"
hypebeast.com
I know so many people that play this type of music and NO ONE calls it post-internet cdfu
Post-internet is like James Ferraro and shit like an offshoot of vaporwave. It's more an art/aesthetic movement.
The music itself isn't post-internet but they fit the aesthetic and general way of doing things.
What the fucking shit does post-internet mean lmao. Does the internet not exist anymore? Do they not promote their music with the internet? what the fuck
>hypebeast
> Lo-Fi/bedroom/downtempo/post-Internet/Chillwave pop
Post internet is a lit name.
but I think the low-effort artworks contribute much more than just the bedroom production. i mean its literally just taken with an iPhone with no filter
It's just jangle pop with synths you twats
It just means that we leave in a society where widespread adoption of the internet and it many platforms have become the norm.
I think it's like they're the first generation of kids growing up entirely on the internet and that's informed their art and general personality/aesthetic/vibe. The internet is no longer some separate world or entity but now it's so interconnected with the physical realm of society where before it was more closed off and kind of a niche thing. Now it's all about social media and uber and shit like that.
their aesthetic pretty much derived from internet activities post 2013. and people don't really need studios anymore they'll just rely on their laptops and phones for production without ever leaving their rooms
This.
i've heard post internet used as a name for vaporwave and soundcloud rap like bones/ofwgkta/lil b/yung lean/xxxtentacion before. i think it's just a bs term music journos use to describe any music that got big on a diy online platform like sc or bandcamp.
this
pretty much. this particular style of music is probably most often called bedroom pop but the general aesthetic is post-internet if that makes sense.
another post-internet example
dying watching this boy pablo everytime video
>bedroom pop
Some of these have pro video production and slick guitars etc though. There's no way that Gus Dapperton, Zach VIllere or Rex Orange County stuff were just made in the bedroom.
I can promise you that all of zach's stuff is diy bedroom pop
Boy Pablows
true but they still share that same minimal lo-fi sound you can just get on the internet so there's not much difference
Like it or not this is the best thing going in indie rn. Some of it is sick. It takes influence from Mac, city pop, yacht rock, synthpop, jangle pop, post-punk, r&b, and other various genres popular in online subcultures as of late. It's like the perfect storm of 2010s internet music rolled into one.

Gus is on Vevo but the rest just got big buzz off DIY stuff.
post-internet was what pitchfork called Visions by Grimes
>Gus is on Vevo
Shiiiiiiit are the major labels catching on to this trend now? Are my fav underground bands gonna blow up in 2k18 and be blasting at sorority parties?
Nah most of these guys can and have been making it big on their own. You don't need major labels in the post internet era. Mac for example isn't even on a major, he's always been with Captured Tracks.
The perfect storm?
Or the most Cringy storm?
Hmmmm.....
Some of it is good
I like Mild High Club for example. These guys are doing some cool shit with this style.
youtube.com
it's literally what garage rock revival was in the 00s. after is this it every guitar band was labeled as a strokes ripoff. now every jangly soft rock band is labeled a mac demarco ripoff.
both times, critics were correct. it is, however, what is going to happen.
I miss the garage punk revival of the early 2010s it was way cooler than this shit. Wavves, The Orwells, and Parquet Courts and Fidlar and shit like that.
analog has become the new digital medium now its crazy, its like it has finally lost its analog value amongst these things
i fucked with the growlers the most out of that scene
is burger records still putting a lot of shit out? that scene was fucking HUGE in LA for a while
Literally just feels like I'm listening to Mac Demarco, not bad though.
not a huge fan of the orwells, but i totally agree with you, but in a lot of ways it's still around. i don't think garage rock is gonna be as big as it was from 2010-2015 but you still get bands around, especially after fidlar redid the black lips' shtick but for california kids with money (no diss, their s/t was pretty cool) so you're still getting a lot of garage punk acts in their vein.
the mac demarco stuff is fine, but it isn't really for me. i'm personally holding off on the psyche revival that's been going down (thanks to lame impala and sick pickle riffs and the lizard wizard) and the hardcore punk revival stuff.
Burger records shit was less accessible than this stuff. This stuff is slick, soft rock, bro jams more reminiscent of DMB, James Taylor, Jimmy Buffet. It's very accessible and easy to make, it's basically modern day yacht rock. Burger Records core was like obnoxious skateboarding teen punk music, music to drink PBR in a dingy remodeled basement to with a bunch of 15 year olds. It was cooler and edgier, but it had far less mainstream crossover appeal. This bedroom pop Mac shit anybody can get into.
i think they are in fact associated with each other
this kid really seems like hed browse Sup Forums
Idk I haven't checked it out lately but I remember it being everywhere in like 2013-14. It's cool these bands are still out there, I like a lot of that shit, but since you mentioned psych revival I'm more intrigued by that. My favorite bands in that burger scene were the ones that did some psych garage punk mix thing rather than just straightforward punk.
probably in this thread right now
people always forget shit like Tomorrows Tulips, artier, more psychedelic and slow bummed out beach rock. i genuinely prefer burgercore to mac demarco, however saying burgercore was "not accessible" is kind of a stretch.
