ITT: artists that are currently making history

Not even shitposting shitory.

making history for the most contrived group ever maybe

>shitory
Holy shit that wasn't even intentional, it's like my mind just starts to make everything about shit when I hear about these shitstains.

I feel almost personally offended by Brockhampton. I feel, as a musically and culturally aware college student in 2017, as if their music is being SPECIFICALLY marketed towards me, or at least my demographic, and it all feels so vapid and fake. I think the problem is that they are just too trendy, and as a result of that their music doesn't stick with me at all. Their albums feel disposable and meaningless. It also feels as though it is being targeted towards people who THINK they have good music taste or THINK they know something about music because they watch Fantano or read Pitchfork, but in reality if you put on a Coil album or a Yes album around them they would react with revulsion, because it doesn't fit their ultra-fashionable instagram aesthetics. What do you guys think? Are these valid opinions?

bit of a stretch OP

i think you have some valid points about the people who listen to brockhampton, but i feel like the members of brockhampton themselves are literally just making music they like, regardless of whether or not it fits their aesthetics

NEW NEW NEW NEW NEW!

Allow me to explain the factors that influenced my thought, in story mode. The very first time I've heard of Migos was on a video of The Ten Worst Songs of 2013 by ADoseofBuckley. They made it onto the list because of Versace being a repetitive, vapid song, and were tied with Sage The Gemini for Gas Pedal and J. Dash for Wop (which I actually knew because Sage is from my hometown, and Wop was everywhere in Vine culture). I didn't care much for them, and disregarded their existence as just some lame novelty act. Meanwhile, in 2017, I visited a little site called RYM as I saw a cover for a guy inside a white car, with a title called Saturation 2. Judging the cover like a sin, I thought to myself that this was some Alt. Hip Hop rapper who finally got big into the mainstream after a long hiatus from Saturation (which I thought was some obscure hip hop gem released in the 2000s). People were in drives for them. Soon, when I officially started posting in September of 2017 (I only spectated and looked at threads for 5 years), I saw that face and album everywhere on the catalog, and, upon realizing that Brockhampton was a boy band, and that they had rave reviews from critics, thought that they were highly prospering and hugely successful. As such, I assumed that they were the biggest hip hop act ever; I didn't even remember Migos existed until last Friday, when their new album released. That was about 4, going on 5 years since I acknowledged Migos existed. And no, I never saw Migos anywhere. I didn't even know they made Bad and Bougee; I thought that was Run the Jewels. Not a single one of my friends even so much as mentioned them. Could you really blame me for not knowing?

Kevin is making history as the biggest fag ever tho

couldn't have said it better myself

this is right.

this band is a giant pile of shit that is fashionable right now and nobody will give a shit in a couple years. same thing happened with Odd Future. the music is just watered down version of whatever has been hip and cool the past few years in hip hop.

Is that Edward Sharpe and The Magnetic Zeros?

unironically Death Grips

I believe they are definitely targeting a demographic of artsy, hipster-ish teenagers because, as I said before, it seems specifically made to appeal to that audience. I know this because I spend a lot of time around people like this, I know what they like. Go on any BH members instagram account, it's all the same "lol I don't care at all, look I dyed my hair but at the same time my nonchalance is part of some overall extremely trendy post-ironic internet movement" thing. Like this kind of shit appeals DIRECTLY to pseudo-artsy edgy teenagers. I'm sure they care about what they're doing, obviously, because it is literally their livelihood. But the way their music seems to go directly for trends that are popular among a teenage demographic in 2017, literally hitting ALL THE MARKS without fail (hip-hop music because that's in the zeitgeist with teenagers right now, extremely trendy post-ironic twitter and instagram personas, checking all the boxes for correct slang and attitudes, progressive attitudes (not that that is a bad thing, I'm fairly left-leaning myself, but you can't tell me this doesn't appeal to the audience of the current artsy college generation), long, vague music videos, themes of youthful love and having fun in the summer, the list just could continue forever) is undoubtedly pretty vapid.

I agree. Memes aside they will be remembered for a long time.

autismo

wow good job, totally BTFO'd them! Brockhampton forever! See you on /r/Hiphopheads my niBBa!

step aside niggers

spicy pasta

>dude what if odd future was boring and gay

Odd Future was already boring and gay. I mean, Frank, Syd, Tyler are gay. At least only Kevin is gay in Brockhampton

literally nobody outside of mu and the other internet music nerd communities know who they are,

>literally nobody outside of mu and the other internet music nerd communities know who they are yet

fixed for ya mate

>implying death grips didnt peak in 2013

Go outside. All the cool kids listen to death grips or at least know who they are

I can assure you that a huge portion of young people know who Death Grips are.

Are you underground men or just flyovers? I live in LA and tons of chicks love brockhampton here.

...

Bumi.

Mostly agree but imo it's just the result of the members being avg. 20 year olds. They don't seem like very interesting people and it comes out in the "meanings" of their songs. Also the fact that they have like 7 members kind of makes it hard to make meaningful music but is perfect for disposable sensual saturation.
