i found it a bit stressful like being shouted at by a load of drunken skinheads or Marxists.

anyway to go back to my original point what is the appropriate level of bullying for anyone who steps out of the group-parameters? how should we police ourselves and make sure no one ever violates the rules and expresses a liking for something they are expressly not allowed to like?

everything they do is like Tom Petty filtered through a focus group-approved list of cool NYC rock cliches, played by corpses
I should say, I never had an indie rock phase and so have no nostalgia for it

The first step to understanding the outgroup is attempting to appreciate it

yes, this is all true however im less concerned here with appreciating a work than enforcing strict conformity and group cohesion.

bandz ahoy
6 foot at 14 though, I hear.
Strange, remote height, eyes floating above the crowd like a parade float, inviting fear and ridicule.

that's pretty good
there's plenty of that type of stuff floating around, of varying quality, in various scenes
this is one of my favorite modern - 10 years old - guitar records. out of the relatively febrile Chilean scene, BYM Records etc.

@Linebaugh I assume by "modern rock acts" you're excluding people who've been around for a long time i.e. Boris?
I'd point to things like White Hills, Squadra Omega, Goat, The Myrrors, etc
definitely in the psych/improv/krautrock, etc vein
or on a slightly different tip, Altin Gun and Khruangbin
those are the kinds of people I find "interesting" in the expansively defined world of current guitar-driven rock or rock-adjacent music
people mining the past for new directions forward, or at least searching for new directions
rather than just using it as empty symbolism

Black Midi is too prog/post-rock "look at good we are at playing our instruments" for me
but I can imagine they'd be good live

yah, the boris types excluded.
I like Khruangbin some, but it reminds me a little too much of a craft brewery. Not modern, but have you heard this?
