I miss 2000's indie pop/rock

Vampire Weekend are still atound. So is Jack White and Julian Casablancas. Franz Ferdinand did FFS. Interpol will release a new album this year
Cooper Jones
I was just entering HS when this era started to die off around 2008 or so. I remember when this music started to become less popular with the growing trend of rap and hip hop lol
Bentley Robinson
Do Vampire Weekend still play?
Aaron King
arctic monkeys are one of the biggest bands on the planet right now my mate
Alexander Walker
Jordan Sullivan
first album in 5 years coming in next few months, first show in 4 years later this summer. tour coming as well. this year is their return
Aaron Powell
I know, but things have changed. Maybe its just that I've changed.
I was in HS in 2002-07, the peak years of Indie rock. Rap and hip hop were already popular but it was mainstream stuff like Eminem and fiddy. Emo was huge too. I had a gf at that time who wore dark eyeliner, dyed her blond hair black and wore cutesy black hipster clothes, listening to My Chemical Romance, Jared Leto and Fall Out Boy.
I know and I still listen to them, I think they have an album out this year. However it doesn't compare to when I saw them live in 2006 and they were still playing songs off Whatever People Say I Am, Thats What I'm Not. The youthful energy at that gig made me realise I was truly alive.

All shite.
Nathan Gray
piss off m8 you were probably a babby when indie was at its height.
Joshua Myers
This type of music was popular from 2001-2005
The mid late 2000's was the beggning of the p4k core hipster indie rock thing. Animal collective, lcd soundsystem, arcade fire, etc.
Op is a retard. lcd and vampire weekend were mid to late 2000's not early 2000's.
Also in the background this whole time from 2001 to 2008 is some emo kid wearing a hot topic nightmare before x mas shirt
I graduated in 2009.
the early 2000's was also the twilight of pop punk and nu metal
Hudson Ortiz
the 8th year of a decade is really when things change.
the fetus of the 2020's is starting to form.
The early 2010's already feel like 100000 years ago

who the fuck ever said early?
Jaxson Long
Thomas Moore
OP here. I never said early 2000's, the thread is for the whole decade of indie rock. I consider the Indie era lasted from 2001 with The Strokes until 2008 when it started to die off, with peak Indie being 04-07. In my opinion LCD Soundsystem peaked 2006-08, Vampire Weekend in 2008. Emo ran parallel but the scenes were different. When I started high school in 2002 there were mainstream pop plebs, skater kids (pop punk/nu metal) and goths. By the time I finished in 2007 there were Indie kids, Emos, and wiggers.
Agreed. I basically checked out of music in the late 2000's when dubstep and edm took over from indie rock/pop.

the most underrated 2000s post-punk revival band is the rakes desu, I like many of the bands OP mentioned, but the rakes are fucking special.
Jaxson Jackson
OP, read Meet Me in the Bathroom. It's literally a book about the emergence of most of the bands you'd listed. It's an 'oral history', so the whole story is told by the people in those bands and the journalists that covered. Reads kind of like an interview of 80 different people who are taking turns telling the story. It's pretty well done, I'm almost finished with it.

Every time I listen to Fluorescent Adolescent I feel such a strange sadness inside of me. Probably the best AM song.
Julian Howard
what about the raptures? i remember they hated the strokes
Noah Roberts
I agree with that feeling of sadness. Melancholy. Its hard to describe. Similar feeling with Mardy Bum and A Certain Romance. Fluorescent Adolescent was on Favourite Worst Nightmare. Why'd You Only Call Me When You're High? was my favourite offf AM.
Liam Morris
>>The Cribs
the definition of an underappreciated band
Sebastian Moore
Imo this was a very dark time for western art music
Logan Long
Strange, that whole era of bands managed to escape me aside from White Stripes. My musical memories of the 2000s are mostly just of buttmetal, backpack rap, and shitty pop.
Thomas Kelly
The Cribs were great. Im a Northern Englishman so along with my favourite band of all time Arctic Monkeys the Cribs were definitely up there. It was great having lads just older than me, who looked and sounded like me and my mates, making music about things that were relevant to us. Drinking, chasing girls, partying and trying not to get beaten up by chavs.
Oliver Johnson
Right, that's because you were an edgy teen not an art major in college who wears wool.
Lincoln Sullivan
Thanks for the recommendation, I'll give that read. British bands from that era need a similar interview style book.
Dominic Johnson
wrong thread?
Jack Brown
>ywn listen Yellow House for the first time ever again
Hold me lads
Mid to late 00s were definitely THE golden era of indie music. It was still finding its footing, and that made it exciting
So many bands only survived 3 albums. So many internet trends (remember "chillwave") gone. I still remember making fun of the Williamsburg hipster stereotype
>mfw I also remember "yo check this album by this guy name Burial, called 'Untrue' " on some UnrealTournament forum or something right after it was released
it was surreal

OP missed the greatest 2000's indie band
Cameron Murphy
truth be told, I only like Yellow House. I can tolerate Veckatimest, but after that they tried to go waaay too polished and grandiose with the sound
Brandon Miller
That is strange. Where I live the entire music scene was indie rock. Even the local bands would try to imitate the big British and American bands, some of them were pretty good.
Adam Bell
Literally none of the artists you mentioned, OP, are worth shit, with the exception of LCD Soundsystem.
Jayden Wright
I'd rather listen to this shit desu
Adam Campbell
They have some good songs, but this band is boring as fuck 70% of the time. He Would Have Laughed is great.
Tyler Parker
Fuck off your pretentious douche. If you aren't going to contribute to thread then don't post here.
Brandon Edwards
Sup Forums was also very, dare I say, "much better" back then. Non stop sharethreads, the shitposting was reduced to tripfag drama and I LOOVE YOU JEEESUS CHRIIIIIIIISSSSSTT and the odd flavour of the month spammer
but I guess white bois moved on to post ironic nigger rap, t_d invaded Sup Forums and the rest of this website so every discussion about anything has a 50% chance of descending into Murican meme politics or trumptard screeching, and sharethreads are rare. and an overall decline in quality all across
Andrew Lee
Why don't you go back to red.dit or whichever other shithole you came from instead? You are not welcome here.
Ayden Peterson
None of those are indie

I MISS IT
Camden James
What did he mean by this?
Gavin Parker
I miss it too. Or maybe I miss being youthful without responsibilities, free to listen to music all day hanging with mates. Chasing girls I was never going to get with, without being self conscious about being too drunk or broke. Trying to sneak into pubs and venues that when you walk through the front door as an adult seem to have lost their shine. All good things must come to an end I suppose.

Picture yourself.
Its the early 2000's.
You are a few grades before junior high.
You are in the back of your parents car while they drive to go buy groceries.
The radio is playing the most generic fucking radio rock on the planet

Most of these bands just released 1-3 good singles throughout their entire career. There's nothing to miss desu
Julian Brown
>implying wes anderson was bad
Movies in the 2000's were still good.
Lots of indie movies, comic book movies were just beggning. The matrix, donnie darko, napoleon dynamite......wes anderson, lord of the rings, harry potter.
Movies in the 2010's just seem like avenger man part 20
Isaiah Gonzalez
I have studied the musics.
If you look at the late 50's the beatles appear
if you look at the late 60's king crimson and led zepplin appear
if you look at the late 70's new wave appears
if you look at the late 80's grunge is starting
If you look at the late 90's that shitty teen pop britney spears boy band shit appears
if you look at the late 2000's kanye steps it up and lady googa appears.
rap like pre 2007 is still baggy jeans and gangsta.
Whatever will be popular in the 2020's will appear in 2018/2019

Sebastian Walker
Well I remember them.
I know that, she just looked cute back then and is a good representation of the fashion of the era.
I know that, but its the era I miss. I hated The Kooks back then but I had a gf who loved them. Would always play "She Moves In Her Own Way". A few years ago, long after me and her had broken up she was run over and killed. Now im nostalgic for The Kooks.
Movies were better in the 2000s, although they had been declining for years. I like films from the 70's and 80's best.
