Funk is a lot of fun, but overrated and too gimmicky in general and very cringy when nerdy kids in 2018 do it.
Jayden Perez
>nerdy kids in 2018 do it
You can say Vulfpeck, we understand
Christopher Wright
Nice gif OP.
Yeah, it's good when done right but I don't know why every other modern indie faggot thinks they can pull it off.
Kevin Morgan
It's either decent but ruined because the band is 5 white dudes who look like Coach Z or it's just vaguely electro funk where it sounds like wannabe Gap Band without any lyrical power behind the beat.
Jaxon Hill
Trying to listen to more.

Dylan Barnes
only good for sampling
Josiah Johnson
Their veneration for and over-intellectualizing of what is really simple, visceral party music is the most pretentious, missed-the-point shit.
Luke Martin
It's the classic hipster thing, make something out to be more than it is. Funk and disco can be deep but they're still at their core party music and trying to make every song a modern clone of "Family Affair" just makes it worthless to even do a song with a dark tone.
Gabriel Lewis
Its the only good music black people ever made, alongside Jazz.
Aaron Ward
new jack swing is the peak of music
Adrian Nelson
Nathaniel Kelly
I'm trying to branch out my funk taste since all I've really checked out was Superfly by Curtis Mayfield and Baby Huey. I am considering checking out stuff by The Meters.
I could use some suggestions in this genre tho that I should check out
Kevin Wilson
Fucking corny
Isaac Perry
this
it's so boring listening to it on its own
Robert Butler
Check out curtis's debut, people consider it pretty influential to funk,also check out Marvin Gaye, if you listen to hip-hop start doing research into the samples used, you can find some pretty obscure shit fast that way
Jason Johnson
Get out
Cooper Parker
*proceeds to listen to his cheesy black grandma music*
Jacob Young
Friendly reminder that Eddie Murphy put out a funk, R&B album in the 80's with one song even produced by Rick James. It's fire
Jace Sullivan
>It's the classic hipster thing, make something out to be more than it is
That's Christgau in a nutshell. Goddamn, quit trying to intellectualize it. It's just rock and roll.
Isaiah Sanders
anybody can recommend me bands that are similar to this?

Gabriel Barnes
I thought black grandmas sing gospel hymns in church.
Jonathan Butler
hipsters love collecting this awful shit for some reason
Connor Perez
Patrician
Luke Harris
I love nu-disco and some electro funk.
Liam Nguyen
I admit I don't particularly like Super Freak and Bustin' Out is actually Rick James's best song.
Gabriel Green
Nathan Cook
Not a big fan of Eddie's singing voice though.
Adam Scott
Japanese funk is best funk
Liam Rogers
isn't it called city pop
Anthony Russell
The 80s was such a terribly tasteless decade it's ridiculous.
Joseph Baker
not as bad as the 2010's
Levi Murphy
yeah but this album specifically is more funk-based I thought it would be good at least to throw it here
Easton Rogers
There fans seem trash too honestly
Landon Roberts
love it all
