Clipping rules

Also if "noise-rap" with the name CLIPPING doesn't entice you, then go listen to some Belle and Sebastien

whatchutola khomeini (Whiney G. Weingarten), Thursday, 1 May 2014 15:45 (nine years ago) link

I mean if they're good maybe whoever started that thread should make a more ENTICING thread title so I will want to check them out

it's a dude rapping over noise music. nothing glib or ambiguous about the description in this case

hurting otm. having sat through a lifeless and drool-inducing dalek show a few years back, id give anything called noise-rap a wide berth tbh.

everyday sheeple (Michael B), Friday, 2 May 2014 00:30 (nine years ago) link

Clipping are far from lifeless and drool-inducing, but hey, maybe that means they can continue to play cool warehouse shows and not douchefests

ok enough of you like clipping that I will check him/them out ok

idk markers, its the combination of fictional and indie rock, insofar as indie rock is in one or two instances valuable it is not anything that could be usefully deployed in fictive means

^I don't have the impulse control to avoid clicking on that thread forever, but I'd like to take a few more minutes to bask in my ignorance before I confront the horrible person/thing that calls itself 'Fetty Wap'

the geographibebebe (unregistered), Thursday, 9 April 2015 22:24 (nine years ago) link

Fetty Wap is a meme rapper incase you were wondering

my brother, i have been trying to understand the fixation with trap music and the best i can do is presume their brains turn to mush whenever they hear an 808, or the mythic words 'mike will made it'

PORC EPIC SAVVAGE (imago), Thursday, 9 April 2015 22:41 (nine years ago) link

also those who can call a song with the lyrics 'come around to your house and fuck your ho' (paraphrase) the most 'euphorically romantic of recent years', but then with ilm you come to expect the unexpected, and woe betide anyone who doesn't sing about baking pies

PORC EPIC SAVVAGE (imago), Thursday, 9 April 2015 22:46 (nine years ago) link

I feel like I might be able to appreciate this stuff if I pretend it's some new and thought-provoking pc music concoction. but I really don't have the patience for that kind of thought experiment when the emceeing is 'rolling fuck this shit worst songs of 2015' caliber and the lyrics are just as abhorrent as meta/ironic commentary (if that's what ilm is rationalizing it as) as they are at face value.

but this thread is heading dangerously close to trenchant warfare so I'll just shrug and say it's not for me

sarahell, Thursday, 24 October 2019 16:30 (four years ago) link

does "blended" mean something else in the UK than in the US? Is it like "tick"?

sarahell, Thursday, 24 October 2019 16:30 (four years ago) link

no it was just a non sequitur-ish callback to a classic gabb haircut comment

'What do you find strangely erotic?'

romanesque architect (pomenitul), Saturday, 7 March 2020 10:16 (four years ago) link

Haha yes, “erotic” is one of those words that is just profoundly unsexy and works against its intrinsic meaning. It could be a fascinating thread, but I can’t say I’m interested.

median punt (gyac), Saturday, 7 March 2020 10:25 (four years ago) link

That, plus the erotic proclivities of ILXors terrify me by default.
