u ppl (+ whiney) just dont get it - chillwave is just whats real anything could be chillwave but not everything is chillwave - its a feeling/aesthetic/interpersonal brand
that said i think that monster rally 7" is fun but its not chillwave

are ppl just gunna call this stuff indie a few years down the line or will 'chillwave' be a lasting tag used to categorize music based on its aesthetic similarities.

yeah in hindsight the extent of ilm chillwave cynism was kinda lame. saw this p chillwavin duo at a vernissage a couple weeks back and even though they were pretty bad, i was thinking like maybe its kind of a cool sound to explore, as a brief obsession at least, and i was just being a crank
also came upon this quote yesterday & it made me ponder my own cantankerousness of late
But my basic test for whether ILM is still good - that everything gets a fair hearing from at least some of the people here - hasn't been failed yet.

will 'chillwave' be a lasting tag used to categorize music based on its aesthetic similarities
i dont think so - feel like 'chilwave' is/was/will always be haunted be the inverted commas surrounding it - i do think it might have been useful way of grouping together and thinking about a bunch of bands that had certain preoccupations in common. even more than just being a sound theres a way of assembling/curating/presenting music that seems v 2k9/2k10 & what ppl generally call 'chillwave' was the best of collecting that sensibility in one place...
idk - plax & i had a thread where he kinda talked abt chillwave seriously & tht abt antecedents, values, forms &c but ilm is typically p hostile to anything that might be 'trendy' that isnt rap music & also i mostly just like posting youtube vidz

Chillwave is just a name for a trend. According to this list, it encompasses a lot of practice some of it productive and some of it repugnant/abysmal. A lot of it does not require much effort and it sounds that way and the amateur hour aspect of it is annoying. But there is some good stuff. I dunno it's easy/fun to make fun of it for obvious reasons but only a few posters seem to have been constantly/cynically going at it. In short, "take it or leave it" (like all music).

yeah, i never got into nite jewel. surprised by the results here. you'll see it by washed out is genuinely one of my favorite tracks of the last couple years

Nite Jewel? Is that even chillwave? More sort of Arthur Russell inspired bedroom disco IMO. Didn't even realize that was a choice.
