They were hometown 'next big thing' heroes for awhile before they imploded. Honestly a good band that didn't survive the weight of expectations + money + too much touring etc.
The singer is working her solo thing now, really hope it comes together for her.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qC844OnP5pM

I think Friends kind of functions as an escapist fantasy for millennials: poor twenty-somethings make their way in NYC and everything ultimately works out.

yeah the people I know that like it like it because of the blithe optimism and naivete. it's basically Adulting: The Show

re Willie -- the Outlaw stuff is obviously enduring, but he did put out some really strong records of original material in the 90s that seemed to have rehabbed his punchline status coming out of the 80s. Spirit would very easily make my top 5 studio records of his, Teatro (ft several re-recordings of pre-Outlaw tunes) is prob top 10. That seemed to goose his image for a while, not mention the near constant touring a la Bob. I haven't really heard or much he's done century besides that T Keith Horses & Beer song; even so he seems firmly ensconced in the pantheon of Country/ Americana. And he still smokes (vapes?) hella weed so he's probably just as known for that with a younger/ not particularly music-obsessed crowd.

Chief Keef

Are you saying that Chief Keef is an artist whose legacy has improved/worsened
― change display name (Jordan), Wednesday, 17 July 2019 21:10 (four years ago) link
Improved, obviously
― ILX’s bad boy (D-40), Wednesday, 17 July 2019 21:13 (four years ago) link
Yeah I didn’t hear much about him in the 00s

Hahaha.

The question in the thread title is whose legacy has improved in the 2010s. There’s nothing about the 00s involved

Chris feigning superiority bc you are out of touch w the genre you cover isn’t the best look

I think lil Wayne just had the typical downward career arc this decade but no one serious would argue his legacy is anything but secure I would think
Gucci mane’s rep obviously solidified too, which no one here makes fun of me for bc now they all agree with it
― ILX’s bad boy (D-40), Wednesday, 17 July 2019 21:27 (four years ago) link
It helps that he's had a such a positive & meme-friendly comeback, right?
― change display name (Jordan), Wednesday, 17 July 2019 21:28 (four years ago) link
No, I'm feigning superiority bc you are on a completely different trip than everyone else in this thread based solely on your creative way of interpreting words
― Hannah GAPDY (Whiney G. Weingarten), Wednesday, 17 July 2019 21:34 (four years ago) link
Yeah though the music has been very forgettable by and large, I think in the long run it’ll affect his legacy poorly ... tho maybe not Elvis in Vegas level

You’re feigning to understand the discourse but I don’t know think you’re actually cognizant of it:
Chief Keef - They Know | Dir. @DGainzBeats https://t.co/GLS9AZjSu8 via @YouTube this my favorite Sosa song🔥🔥🔥🔥👌🏾 he paved the way for the new rappers!— Meek Mill (@MeekMill) July 3, 2019
― ILX’s bad boy (D-40), Wednesday, 17 July 2019 21:36 (four years ago) link
I'm the first on this board to say you were right about Keef being influential, I'm just saying you're the only person in this thread to earnestly post about someone whose recording career began, like, seven years ago
― Hannah GAPDY (Whiney G. Weingarten), Wednesday, 17 July 2019 21:39 (four years ago) link
or eight years, I guess
Wow, you know who else's stock has risen? Mitski and Snail Mail
Gotta say Tierra Whack? Definitely up!

You’re naming artists from the last two years, i named someone who’s career began at the beginning of the decade in question.

Ppl were talking about flying lotus and dubstep idk why keef would be off for the thread subject ... could also talk about afrobeats and kreayshawn and azealia banks and chillwave, thread concept still applies
― ILX’s bad boy (D-40), Wednesday, 17 July 2019 21:48 (four years ago) link
You know what has gone down that we didn’t really talk about is the kind of hipster crossover dance music of the late 00s: nu disco and edits & that kind of stuff feels way less relevant to the current hyped sound I wd think even tho there are still sustained industries devoted to them

Who was made fun of or forgotten in the previous decade that's more respected now? Who was critically beloved but is now kind of a joke? Why?
― A True White Kid that can Jump (Granny Dainger), Wednesday, 17 July 2019 21:53 (four years ago) link
If we’re sticking to that fine idk why based on the thread title tho, seems like stuff from the beginning of the decade being treated differently now is just as relevant
― ILX’s bad boy (D-40), Wednesday, 17 July 2019 21:55 (four years ago) link
Maybe peak mainstream visibility, but there was a ton of hype around 'Los Angeles' and Low End Theory around '08.
Btw I have been meaning to say that LCD Soundsystem / DFA / etc. seems way down. Partially because of how they handled the reunion thing, but it also feels like the territory of disco bros and vinyl purists, and didn't catch on with the next generation.

Agree. The ppl I know still on this heavy are old millennials and older. Feels like the younger gen got more into techno, more into weird internet shit like future funk, more into whatever you’d call pc music

(Keef was making & releasing songs in 2009 lol but w/e)
― ILX’s bad boy (D-40), Wednesday, 17 July 2019 22:03 (four years ago) link
feel like LCD's music was designed to have this ephemeral feeling to it, half their songs are about getting older and "the last party" and not being cool anymore so yeah I kinda figured they'd fall by the wayside once the moment was over. I know the reunion album was a big deal but people stopped talking about it pretty much immediately after its release and I never heard any of the songs anywhere
― frogbs, Wednesday, 17 July 2019 22:06 (four years ago) link
They feel like next gen Wilco to me, as do ppl fetishizing “disco” in general
― ILX’s bad boy (D-40), Wednesday, 17 July 2019 22:09 (four years ago) link
I guess part of the ppl who would have been into late 00s disco consensus just came up into indie like Mac demarco or whatever, like that entire class of gateway drug artists like hot chip don’t exist any more ... mitski strikes me as the closest to this
― ILX’s bad boy (D-40), Wednesday, 17 July 2019 22:11 (four years ago) link
I don’t know this stuff well enough but I think I’m right in the broad outlines

Datarock just released a new album last year and virtually nobody heard it. it was quite good but man you just can't do that sound right now
