@hateindierock - opposed to the bourgeois selfish privilege orgy that is modern corporate youth culture worldwide

so is op the author of this?

i guess i'm surprised that people actually still care about "indie rock" in any respect

thankfully I checked my telex this weekend and saw no messages related to this guy.

he has been posting about godspeed in another thread...

no i already said i did a search and the op loves indie rock.

x-post

yo, op, if you are the author you should give ilx a shoutout for being capitalist-free haven for restless intellectuals

xp oh, too bad

maybe ppl are craving a more theoretical/critical grappling w/ current music culture and they aren't being satisfied elsewhere

(this is obv my most wishful thinking)

i imagine that the person who created this account has more self-respect than to self-promote on ilx but you never know

it's a shame the internet failed to provide a theoretical grappling with music culture

he doesn't have the self-respect to not post reactionary nonsense tweets

"controversial" twitter people used to be safely locked inside record stores and video rental places where they could vent about the falseness of things. but they don't make those places anymore. now the twitter/facebook people are loose on the street! i mean when they had to re-shelve that copy of private benjamin it slowed them down a bit. now they are fast zombies.

When did Armond White start tweeting abt music?

one big failure of this twitter account is that he should be calling out specific beloved bands and explaining why they are fasco-capitalist consumerswime

the international monetary fun.

kid is the best damn music writer i have read in ages and i am crazy crazy jealous, like knowing what truman capote was up to his teens & 20s level jealous. just for the record.

Really, he's my favorite music writer working today. And his shit absolutely needs to get into next year's Da Capo Best Music Writing series. Nabisco's right, his essays use a really great personal narrative structure that runs through his work, and it's fantastic. I find that a lot of music crit runs together into one big formless uninteresting mass, but this guy has a VOICE. And not many people do. I like writers whose personal style I can recognize, follow, understand, and I like being able to reconcile the crit with the writer, and see the two as a piece. I can do that with (to name Pfork writers in conjunction with PFF talk) Breihan, Tim F, Jess, Mark R, Ewing, Drake, nabisco, Mike McG, Scott P. And much as I'm sure several of them would resent seeing their name next to the PRR fella, I'd put him in the same league at this point. He's as good as any Pfork writer working today. And that's incredible.

at least prr felt like it was of its time

whiney otm, ppl who like prr need to step up and rep for this too. same quality.

what's more of-your-time than agonizing about the implications of globalized corporate consumerism for your hobby

this guy really likes the attention! been looking at new tweets. he's into it. like the "we" thing too. like he's a shadowy anonymous collective. but he doesn't like godspeed. he tweeted that.

i mean he really likes people guessing who he is. and explaining himself over and over.

we do not forgive. we do not forget (the last three liz phair records).

which is kinda boring. glad he brought up pump up the volume before someone else did. all the great themes have been turned into theme parks!

in this case, I don't think this guy's tone is an affectation. it really does seem like he's just hurriedly typing all of this out on his blackberry somewhere

i still write dumb shit on the internet all the time so i ain't throwing stones. let him have is fun. ah, youth.

dollars to donuts the writer of this twitter is over 30

so if Capote was in his twenties he'd be hanging out with Schreiber on the side of the PFM main stage, raving about Crystal Castles.

i mean probably?

making a big deal about how not all the pitchfork writers will be invited to this party

writing a nonfiction novel based on the arrest of Fiona Apple last month.

huge seller, the profits of which he pores into masked party in Williamsburg.

what did they expect? i'm a blogger.

this guy doesn't hate indie rock NEARLY enough to suit me.

like, i know people who hate indie rock, i hate indie rock myself, and you sir are no hater of indie rock

this doesn't have anything to do with anything but are there any non-ilxors who write for pitchfork who are really good? as critics, i mean. i don't read it much. on a level with people i dig? like N8tsu% or andy beta or tim f. or d.wolk or god help me jessica harvell.

it is truly incredible how reliable a traffic-generator it is to lay out why you hate indie on the internet. freaky trigger did this what, 11 years ago?

http://freakytrigger.co.uk/ft/2001/01/indiekids/

tracer nails it. i could hate indie rock better with one hand tied behind my back. but its like bart simpson used to say, shooting fish in a barrel.

Jessica Harvell? That's almost worth me reposting the Bugs Bunny img.

^ look at the number of comments on that freaky trigger article. it's insane!

you know what?
im fed up with you little trolls on the internet saying “omg scenekids are scum” or “omg indies are loser” ect ect
for christ sake, whats so wrong with expressing your fashion,music,personalty or what ever. at the end of the day the people who write these things are nothing but losers and your just going to except the fact every one is different. i mean i hate disney, but ive got freinds who like that stuff. and i dont rub shit in there face.
oh and btw my twin sister is an indie kid but she listens to daft punk and house music

even that dumb l.a. weekly anti-indie rock thing from a month or two ago was better/funnier and that was pretty dumb and dated.

by how he writes, would say he's probably English, or at least hangs on a heavily English board. using words like 'cos' and 'saddos', the nature of the political talk and references, mentioning the state of English indie (Americans don't really care).

and def not serious. seems to be a vague, hazily-inspired strawman of something-or-other, the banaka comparison otm. probably in his 30s or 40s, too informed to be some earnest high school student having his first epiphany or whatever

and also too informed not to be aware of when he's sounding silly

Alfred otm

I've just been reading "indie music" as "stuff I don't like" for seven damn years b/c nobody has any consistency, every alleged indie hater itt, on this board and elsewhere will stan for this or that (except ____ or ____)

I yearn to see some true indie hatred

I cut and pasted my last post from freakytrigger btw

haha you got me

ew bro -- that sincerity!

I was xp'd and didn't catch the freinds ect ect

i'm not the author, i just thought he hit some great points and noticed how many ppl he pissed off
