How is it contrarian to make a thread about a new artist I like before anyone on ilx has even weighed in

Because he's not very good?

I wouldn't necessarily say "contrarian", probably more "weirdly optimistic in the face of an overwhelming historical trend re: how ppl here react to acts like this"

between 'beemer boy' and 'gym class' man i feel like lana del rey looms over this. of all people.

"Acts like this"...the point I made in the opening post was that this was an example of an artist like years & years where it sounds bad on paper but is actually good, which has recently had a pattern of positive responses on this board actually. For some reason I can't understand the first responders on any thread I make about music are ppl like joan shakey forks et all who I share little in common w musically at least as far as new music

Oh. I'd argue that Years & Years isn't really that good either, rendering the thesis null and void but eh, pvmic etc

(I also think the specific type of artist you were thinking of would come to other people's minds more readily if you, you know, named them when you made allusions to them.)

i like that, sounds like blink-182 x witch house

he's making the underlying pop melodic associations we have with pop punk
if pop punk you mean the mall punk whatever smashmouth type stuff then yes, that is very present here. Unfortunately for me.

@ jordan : yung lean has a song with 20M views... he's not as popular.

The European weighs in on the popularity of a European rapper

i think spanish people couldn't care less about a swedish rapper though.
― ANU (sisilafami), Tuesday, 8 November 2016 00:50 (seven years ago) link
yung lean's most recent videos have like 1-2 million views, peep isn't quite there yet but also has no press or record label
― J0rdan S., Tuesday, 8 November 2016 03:23 (seven years ago) link
So... He's not as popular
― blonde redheads have more fun (upper mississippi sh@kedown), Tuesday, 8 November 2016 05:55 (seven years ago) link
yung lean is completely forgotten in the us except as a meme maybe. im sure that currently, peep has a good claim on being more popular
― Listen to my homeboy Fantano (D-40), Tuesday, 8 November 2016 06:22 (seven years ago) link
like, post malone's album is about to flop, most guys in that ironic cloud rap vein have the lifespan of a meme
Lil Peep - better or worse than Yung Lean? DISCUSS!
― human and working on getting beer (longneck), Tuesday, 8 November 2016 08:20 (seven years ago) link
I do not want you to discuss that, btw. I just don't see the appeal of this outside of Noisey circles.
Kind of feeling like Lil Yachty deserves his own thread but don't know if I'll get shot down by the goon crew for starting it

Anyway, it appears nu-witch is now definitely a thing https://wiccaphase.bandcamp.com/Whether it's a good thing or not is another matter
― Lennon, Elvis, Hendrix etc (dog latin), Tuesday, 8 November 2016 09:24 (seven years ago) link
Lil Yachty is great, gets lots of love on the rolling rap thread
― niels, Tuesday, 8 November 2016 09:32 (seven years ago) link
my point was that peep has probably the same audience as yung lean. I know some young yung lean fans, lil peep sounds like something they should be into.
