ILM is kinda sucking these days (boring and meta ignore not safe for work)

Chief Keef killed ILM

there are several who REALLY make me want to start an @ILXTXT twitter account.

:D best gravestone

haha I'm thinking of another one though? like dedicated to O_o indie fuxxor posts or something. idk.

ilm is prob the worst i can ever remember it. i know i'm not alone in thinking this. but i'm equally sure some people are enjoying it.

is it any worse than it was in 2010. i cant tell the difference

i don't even care anymore about content. its a straight up ocd thing for me now. clickclickclickclick...

i don't know about the quality of ilx, but complaints about quality def seem more pathetic with each year.

^ meta

i find myself more and more out of step w/ broader ilm music taste (i didn't like the vast majority of tracks that placed this year) but there are enough posters talking about music i love on various rolling threads and stuff that i can't complain at all.

cool post.

yes.

sorry but it's like complaining that a bar you haunt isn't as cool as it used to be, except it's byob so you can't even blame alcoholism for your continued patronage

why is it worse?

afaict we just have more rolling thread so it's become on a whole more balkanized, but like breakout artists within each 'genre' still seem to get their own threads

pavement thread bumps are at an all time low

we still have jokey radiohead polls

service guarantees citizenship

would you like to know more?

if you feel like ilx isn't having enough interesting conversations about 80s music the problem might be that you like boring music

yes, everyone who has any prob with ilx should leave immediately.

ILM is having quite enough convos about shit 80s music kthx

complaining about ilm is like dancing about the architecture of a squalid outhouse

yes.

whats the difference... mate

yeah i'm kind of curious how it's failing you

not gonna start a big flamewar about it, really. it just feels like a smaller number of people policing a smaller number of threads.

I think that just reflects ILX's aging demographic in general - we're no longer attracting college kids (calls iatee over)

we all shrink as we age.

I dunno, I'm just bopping along.

Just eyeballing it, there were like 60 or 70 threads updated on ILM yesterday (not including the ones that have been revived today). I didn't post in all of them, but I know I read a lot more than I post in general. ILM's been my #1 source for music information for the last 5 years. It's a cornucopia!

tbh i'm comfy with not having a new "OHMYGOD I CAN'T BELIEVE YOU PEOPLE LISTEN TO (C)RAP MUSIC HAVEN'T YOU EVER HEARD OF THE ARCADE FIRE???" kid every month

think we're already at quota

And here I was thinking we were reviving the thread to talk about how this is a GOLDEN ERA for ILM post-tracks poll results thread.

people who are unhappy w/ ilm - i wonder what kind of genres/music you feel aren't being covered adequately?

indie rock

there's a lovely rolling indie rock thread that i personally never open but i'm sure is just wonderful

where are these people, i never see them.

lazy victimless zings man

i don't really have beef with ILM, there's been some good discussion on classical and non-Western musics of late and the rolling threads keep stuff i'm interested in a convenient drawer and some of you kids shd probly ease off the polling but the FP button still works and ILM's still a good bet if you fancy a really bitter, personal clusterfuck to go off so hey

indie rock

i dunno if this is sarcastic or not but there's definitely been a huge shift away from indie and towards mainstream pop and dance music in the 5-6 years i've been on ILM

i don't really know if it's sarcastic or not either tbh

rolling rock/indie/alt/experimental/pop-but-weird stuff 2013
Rolling Indie thread 2013

and i'm sure plenty more for individual artists

not bad for a genre that is totally non-descriptive and means nothing

can't see how you can say ILM's dropped off when Neon Neon: Collab. between Boom Bip and Gruff Rhys ft. Fat Lip, Spank Rock, The Magic Numbers and more is riding high on SNA

We could do with a couple of really committed bratty American EDM Bassnectar-rocks-have-you-seen-Molly types.

ilm outreach program

would always be good to have new blood but i think we're reaching the point in time where college-age kids who would once have been interested in ilm have grown up w/ social networking sites instead of internet message boards so this is kind of a foreign concept now

social networking sites don't necessarily play the same role - like you're not interacting w/ strangers

really doubt anyone new would get very far with the competitive edge around the place.

if only we could go back to the gentle days of strongo & and what
