New Beach Bunny EP is out and it is shorter than a Nine Inch Nails single, or 3 separate Iron Maiden songs.

I am liking the Jerskin Fendrix album, it's got the right amount of ironic distance that I feel comfortable enjoying pop music. Is this the correct thread for that kind of thing?

if you can't enjoy Carly Rae Jepsen, Charli XCX, Billie Eilish, Lorde, or the 90s output of Kylie Minogue then you're outside the gates of heaven looking in also we're due for a Sophisti-Pop renaissonce. I've spent a lot of time recently listening to Everything but the Girl and they ruled.

Also, how the gently caress you say that and not mention Robyn? ok this is a confession I have to make I never listened to Robyn and I had a very very weird reason for this - for some reason I confused Robyn with La Roux and specifically La Roux's song Bulletproof annoyed the poo poo out of me. Up until last year I did not realise the mistake I had made and thus had missed Robyn's entire career thinking she was La Roux. edit: i should've also mentioned Sophie Ellis-Bextor who as far as pure pop gets is like so loving great and i love her Lid fucked around with this message at 01:34 on Jan 21, 2021 |

Recently I've been listening to a lot of pop music that is making fun of, or acts as commentary on pop music, and that is a lot more palatable. It helps that there's so much noise/industrial/idm bleedover in pop music (and hiphop too!) these days. Sophie and Poppy are some other examples, but it was fun to get like a hipster indie dude take on it.

Their first five albums are all great to excellent, that first one is definitely still my sentimental fave though. Many fond memories of singing Riot Van. Hopefully whatever they do next is a bit more consistent than the last one was. Would have been a great EP but there wasn’t enough range for a full album IMO.

I think Bjork might be considered mainstream in Europe but is definitely alternative pop in the US, and when she was with the Sugarcubes maybe alternative rock. All I can say for sure is that Vespertine lost to Parachutes by Coldplay in 2001 for Best Alternative Music Album. Imagine Coldplay being considered alternative! Ever since I discovered that I no longer consider the Grammy to be all that telling

"Alternative" is a genre name that was always destined to become meaningless. You can't define a genre as "different from what's popular" without eventually running into that issue. In my mind "Alternative" means either (1) a group that's set up like a rock band but focuses more on songcraft than performance, or (2) weird pop.

The Walrus posted:and then you've got 'adult alternative' which is like goo goo dolls and matchbox 20 Wasnt that just post-grunge? Also is Foo Fighters (and specifically the first three albums) the only music from that entire period you can state had any merit? I'm trying to think of anything else and coming up short with a genre that spanned over 20 years and dominated mainstream rock.

Lid posted:Wasnt that just post-grunge? That period meaning roughly 1995-2000? Yeah, I guess that was pretty bleak depending on what you were into. (Confession, I did enjoy nu-metal at the time.) You did have stuff like Ben Folds, Beck, and the one who started this discussion, Björk. Also No Doubt, I guess Oasis, a little bit of Radiohead (in my liiiife) So yeah, definitely some classic albums here and there, but it's not quite music's finest hour. Especially compared with what came right before. EDIT: This was also a notoriously low point for music mixing -- in 1995 it was still fine, but by 1999 we had the infamously overloud Californication and we didn't really recover from that until about a decade later. (1995 did have What's the Story Morning Glory which was also pretty loud, but that always felt like more of a deliberate and/or coke-fueled production choice) Sir Lemming fucked around with this message at 14:49 on Jan 28, 2021 |

No Doubt have their roots in ska, Oasis were part of britpop, Radiohead were all over the place, none were post grunge. Lid fucked around with this message at 04:13 on Jan 29, 2021 |
