creatively bankrupt newish chillwave/post-AnCo bands whose names are just '80s ephemera

Holy shit, was that entire project constructed for this thread? That song (as well as the title of the project) is completely creatively bankrupt.

looool

YouTube comment on someone's upload of Washed Out's "Feel It All Around":

this song is a summer classic. right up there with big willy's summer time

there is no way back the to future the ride isn't some fucking prankster. there's no way that can be fucking real.

the actual ride was dope imo

noted music critic Chocolate Grinder wouldn't give us anything less than the real thing

^^still lovin this guy's new steez

i would wager that a good portion of chillwave has started off as a prank

now thinking it would be a good career move to change my musical pseudonym to Morty Maxwell

or my ilx display name to Mordy Maxwell

iTunes --> Electronic, and it's right there

RIP world

so proud of my man carles

seriously.

especially since p4k launched the competing term "glo-fi" like two weeks earlier iirc. u can 'beat the system'

Results 1 - 10 of about 6,700 from pitchfork.com for "chillwave". (0.27 seconds)
Results 1 - 10 of about 8,940 from pitchfork.com for "glo-fi". (0.14 seconds)

what happened to hypnotoad pop was that something else?

is it creatively bankrupt to name your band Omega Flight? (assuming you could find four other humans who would consent to be in a band with that name...)

Results 1 - 10 of about 2,600 from pitchfork.com for "hypnagogic pop". (0.24 seconds)

sounds like a video game for Atari 5200.

xpost

hypnagogic pop was The Wire.

Fucking Simon Reynolds created a damn monster the millisecond he accidentally invented "genre name attributed to rock critic"

what was that, post-rock?

btw, Omega Flight = http://i66.photobucket.com/albums/h279/juicyfrt/Omega_Flight_Jaxon_Earth-616.jpg

post-noise present music-guys using the over-artificial and seemingly excessive + trivial aesthetic of 80s massculture to fuck witcha mind, visit Keenan's online Volcanic Tongue shoppe and purchase limited-edition "post-Noise" LPs, CD-Rs, and cassettes by James Ferraro, Spencer Clarke, Lamboghini Crystal, K2, The Skaters, Vodka Soap, Zola Jesus, Gary War, Pocahaunted and other titles on Shdwply and New Age Tapes!!! Awesome!!!!!

what was that, post-rock?

yep. i think he came up with 'glitch' too

but yeah, once magazines were dotted with "'post-rock, a term coined by music journalist Simon Reynolds'" we've had like a 20 year tail spin of ppl throwing out [x]-core and [y]-fi and post-[z], with approximately 0 examples of it actually being traceable to a specific writer until now.

Shdwply

patiently waiting for this band to become popular so i can use "Al Shdwply" display name

heh i presume it's a label but yeh

Ganglians falls somewhere between hypnagogic pop and chillwave.

Not positive, but I think Philip Sherburne came up with glitch. Or maybe I am thinking of microhouse.

Thinking now, glitch was Rob Young in a Wire feature (not sure if he was first), sorta like Kennan w/ hypno-pop and the Old, Weird America.

except hypno-pop and new weird america never stuck

in america we just lumped that shit in with freak-folk iirc

hahaha "hynotoad pop"

would totally make some killer drone records out w/ hynotoad samples and a delay pedal

There is perhaps a parallel relationship with two of these terms, where the Wire coins a name to describe a more experimental and less tune-oriented scene, and then there's another term coined that's part of that scene but closer to indie rock proper:

Free-folk (actually the term used in Old, Weird cover story) - NNCK, Sunburned Hand of the Man, MV + EE
(connected to)
Freak-folk - Golden Apples stuff, Devendra, Newsom, acoustic Animal Collective, etc.

Hypnagogic Pop - Ducktails, Emeralds, Pocahaunted
(connected to)
Chillwave - Washed Out, Toro, Neon Indian

more like a parallol relationship

i thought hypnagogic pop and chillwave were synonyms

i heard deej isn't around bc he's busy tryna christen a movement name for the nu-bay cats, t/f ?

hypnagogic guap

a few things:

- pretty much all of these bands suck shit live, from my experience. the Washed Out recordings are bad-ass, tho.
- Tanlines are really quite good, both live and on record.
- i don't really have a problem with the names because i won't listen to the bands anyway.
- also, this was happening for years with shit in electro and house anyway. DJ Donna Summer? the AC Slater remixxx? etc etc. WEAK NAMES, WEAK GAMES.
- finally, how is one to name a band nowadays anyway? if i were to start a chillwave band, i'd call it "Stoned Carl Sagan" or something stupid like that. punk bands often take song titles from other punk bands and use them as names...like in the 90s, Behead the Prophet No Lord Shall Live took their name from a subpar Deicide song. my friends Sister Fucker are named after a subpar EYEHATEGOD song. eh.
