I knew blueski would chime in with the Kinetic reminder!
Honestly tho, that NYT piece and some of these yahoos like Golden Girls (and other bands bunched together rather haphazardly as part of this) make me cross on behalf of guys like Memory Tapes and Washed Out - both of whom are just dudes that have been making their music for 2+ years and slowly gained attention.
They're quite humble guys and some distance away from the look of those twerps Golden Girls

i remember coming across a band called Screamapillar, probably within a year of that episode
― Fellini.Kuti, Monday, 29 March 2010 00:17 (fourteen years ago) link
I think there is an interesting conversation to be had about this mini genre, but the inclusion of the "named after 80s ephemera" thing is lumping in bands that are not stylistically related.
My two cents on it: I'm impressed with the technology some of these bands are using, and am way into expanding live sampling and processing into performance which is definitely a post AnCo thing -- I just haven't been into the vibe a lot of the groups have been going for, or their songs for that matter.
― filthy dylan, Monday, 29 March 2010 00:28 (fourteen years ago) link
I'm totally spellbound by the vibe of many of these bands. Want to live there.

90s bands with 80s references were usually pop punk/hardcore scene bands. Mr. T Experience, etc.
Bad example, Mr T Experience started in about '84, so that's a band taking off a current pop-culture phenomenon, not a nostalgic one.
― Colonel Poo, Monday, 29 March 2010 13:23 (fourteen years ago) link
haha we'd taunt the bass player named Chris in my high school screamo band by calling him Kissyfur

i would have maybe been guilty of this if i had bothered to try and do anything with the tunes i made on my computer of late because i was thinking of using the name "Granny's Garden". http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Granny%27s_Garden

Y'see, I wouldn't mind it if they were referencing the less 'hip' relics like Granny's Garden, Droom etc. (But then again I named my album Your Sinclair)

i really can't be bothered to listen to any of the big bands associated with this stuff to be sure, but now when i go see weird local bands i'm standing there thinking "is this chillwave?"

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