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

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!!!!!

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

hipnogohard-hop

glophy

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.

Do you mean the CD of unreleased stuff they've been selling at his shows?

The thing that's so far ruining it all for me is the vocals. I'm just annoyed that most of these singers are still singing like Panda Bear or whoever came out with the idea of sounding like Brian Wilson singing from the bottom of a water tank? It's like the Vedder syndrome of the '10s (OK, late '00s) and I'm fucking sick to death of it. Just getting a girl to sing would do it for me in most cases.

which band "the raybans" do you guys think would be better?

^^ this cannot be said enough ^^

I have no idea what to make of PHILIP SEYMOUR HOFFMAN whose influences include "super smash bros" and "the support of my friends"

http://www.myspace.com/philipseymourdustinhoffman

haha i saw that band name the other day and just shook my head. i guess that's in the same category as that abe vigoda band, although it's weird that the references have now gone from lol old character actors to someone who's in oscar flicks and hip indie movies now.

yeah at least with Abe Vigoda, I knew right away it was band. With this I was like, "they guy who jizzes on the wall in Happines is opening for Tobacco?"

also, re: bands named after actors, HANE KODDER is kind of the best one going

i'm shocked that there's not a band called River Phoenix yet

each dream is an example
