Yeah 70s synth and new age music is def a bit of a thing with some of the lo-fi and 'noise' crew, has been for a while. I guess it follows on from other 'hippie' music. Which is cool but also annoys me a bit as I know how lots of those people, at least where I lived, were completely myopically dismissive of anything like that (and anything related to house / techno / rave) for so long. Always the way though.

Let's Talk About Ceps
I'm sure I speak for everyone here when I say that I hope 'nu-metal' stays dead and buried for as long as possible.
funny you should that zhao, illbient/crooklyn dub is exactly what I thought when I listened to your Fusion 2 cd
i'm hoping for an offshoot of Wonky in this general psychedelic subterranean direction... i want to talk to you about the CD too.

the way these revivals go (and taking the cue from the 70s Italo Revival and 80s Minimal Synth Revival) it will be something that was completely taken for granted and dismissed in an off-hand manner - but which is heavily stamped with that decade's zeit/fingerprint which will be revived....also something that there is a huge quantity of.
....so, i dunno, brooklyn house music or (even - dread to think) tribal house (all that cr*p) or maybe euro trance (kox box reappraisal long overdue).
ie not the obv candidates. lol at diplo and jungle of 1994.

Napster (1999-2001) changed everything in terms of 'attitude towards music and pop culture in general'.

That sounds like a description of early post-rock to me. I'm reminded of how the sub-headline of that Pitchfork article on "the lost generation" said something about bands who invented the '90s without anyone noticing. Okay, so there may not be that much of it but I still keep finding more.
Regarding the illbient thing, isn't a lot of dubstep somewhat illbient sounding?
mmm... loads of dull thuds in there... Was more or less constantly disappointed by DJ Spooky, who seemed to talk a much better game in theory than practice (cf: a LOT of mid-90s USA ambient/hip hop crossovers)
thought illbient is a term that better serves the hiphopping of Moon Wiring Club etc

no more or less dull thuds than in any other "genre" surely? reckon i find 1 quality dubstep tune in 10, if that. (and 1 qualtiy D'n'B track in probably 50)

A few of my mates were into it, and I thought it was shit. But I look back fondly on it now even though it was objectively terrible. Limp Bizkit just make me laugh now. It's weird, loads of people who were not into music at all (or maybe just chart pop and eurodance) suddenly started to rock huge baggy combats with a wallet chain and black Vans.

i wouldn't mind a reunion of "we", the group with dj olive/once11/lloop who put out three pretty cool psych/dub albums on asphodel and liquid sky music back in the late 90s.
