Thraed of Lil Peep

Post Malone > this. Sorry.

the common demeanor of rap & grunge is skate right ?

I get that for you this is about cultural positioning ("the thing I like could not sound like the thing I don't want to be seen as liking"), which is not a surprise, but this dude sounds mainly like mainstream indie rock. he does also sound on that second tune like Blink-182

This isn't abt "cultural positioning" I just think you don't actually get what this is or where it's influences are coming from, you think this sounds like "indie" and I think indie rock is probably the ninth most popular form of music having an influence on a nineteen year old kid listening to popular music in 2016 & while there might be some textural or surface level commonalities w the genre it's really not a primary touchpoint for this nor does it really reflect his sensibility or approach--this is very sincere music & he writes lyrical w a brush that feels much more like rap meets emo than something intended to appeal to ppl reading gorilla vs bear or whatever. I do agree to some extent about the blink 182 thing

All Reddit/chan/RYM dudes are obsessed with Memphis rap for whatever reason and this dude is 19, lock thread

oh i was wondering if you'd ever make a thread about this. when you sent it to me a few months ago i didn't know what to make of it and tbh i still don't

that later went on to influence stuff like staind and puddle of mudd or what have you.

this guys sounds a lot more like that stuff than he does like soundgarden or nirvana. 4th wave grunge finally gets its due!

Ah yes, there's nothing that millennials love more than the 20 year legacies of things, which is why all new music sounds likes Cibo Matto

I remember when Salem and How to Dress Well came out, my first thoughts were how they truly honored and respected and appreciated the 20 year legacy of Houston rap

i just love that as soon as some juggalo decides to be the drill Machine Gun Kelly, D-40 immediately races to ILX to start repping for [extremely mixtape voice] REAL... TEEN... SHIT

Finally the Kitty Pryde that won't give D-40 girl germs

this makes me feel better about defending peep

now he's a juggalo...now he's the male kitty pryde...now he's indie rock...now he's real teen shit...

I thought to myself "maybe I'm being too dismissive of this dude based on 90 terrible seconds of 'Beamer Boy'" and decided to listen to "Kiss"

This does sound a LOT like Violent J singing over a Chainsmokers downtempo track, deej

is that "indie"?

i dont disagree w/ that description tbh

whatever you want to call it, it isn't "good"

there's definitely something 'hot for 2010' about this sort of thing

actually wait chainsmokers production doesnt really sound like this

"this dogshit is squishy like a banana"
"bananas aren't squishy exactly, what if they're still in the peel?"
"well it smells like garbage"
"not like any kind of garbage I've ever thrown out"
"it's stuck to the bottom of my shoe"
"how can it be 'sticky' and 'squishy' at the same time?"
"well it's certainly dogshit"
"i think we've proven you don't understand what dogshit is, haven't we?"
"okay i'm gonna go"
"STAY HERE AND TALK TO ME ABOUT THIS DOGSHIT"

"that reminded me... of justin bieber... gone bad"

JCLC's got yr number deej

youre acting like there's some objective truth to your dislike of this music but this is actually a recording artist, not literal dogshit

i dont gaf if a bunch of out of touch 30+ year old men think this sucks, im not going to argue w/ your subjective experience of the music, but if you're going to misdescribe it or try & say the banana is made of dogshit, im going to point out that its actually not

i dont gaf if a bunch of out of touch 30+ year old men think this sucks

well you did start a thread on ILM about it so methinks thou doth protest too much

^^^first fair point in this thread

i dont gaf if a bunch of out of touch 30+ year old men think this sucks,

aren't you over 30 by now yung deejo?

yes, im just saying its not like i expect the majority of my demographic cohort to love it, just those with exceptional taste

it's cool ums, deej is "one of the good ones"

haha ok you got me legit lolling at work, bravo

listening to Ka and paying my bills online #grownmanrap

i actually don't mind lil peep too much really, but it seems like really in the vein of a lot of stuff now like spooky black and alan kingdom and all that other shit i dunno what makes this so different

Struggling to believe Lil Peep is actually a real artist and that this isn't just some algorithmically-generated thread based on everyone's known posting styles.

haha otm

the question is : will he ever be as successful as yung lean ?

he will be much more successful than yung lean

deej also what is the extent of your jazz training? do you play? or were you a music theory major or something?

hand-sewed spiritual jazz hats iirc

https://www.music-map.com/lil+peep.html

i played trumpet for idk 12 years, ~3-4 years seriously in HS-> college before realizing i didn't want to be a music major. i still have my trumpet. studied classical & jazz, did a couple summer programs for jazz around that time. played in a jazz combo for a bit in high school out of a real book, haa. Jazz was big at my H.S.—one of the guys who graduated when I was a freshman was asked to join lincoln ctr jazz orchestra by wynton iirc, and a guy i graduated with still plays trumpet & works as a musician in LA, you can hear him on trumpet on this terrace martin live performance of kendrick's "for free" https://soundcloud.com/terrace-martin-music/terrace-martin-friends-for-free-live-at-del-monte-speakeasy

i was interested mainly in improvisation & did a lot of trying to transcribe solos. i can also circular breathe, lol

cool you should start to play again! terrance martin thing is really good

i'm pretty sure i'm the first person to have thought of this but maybe you could combine ~~~jazz & hip hop~~~ think about the possibilities

biddy biddy bop
funky funky

lol

my lazy comparisons after listening to hellboy: Blink 182, Why?, Rae Sremm, Clouddead, FKi

that reminds me, Digable Planets are playing here tomorrow and I can't bag my friend's election party to go see them ;_;
