If my memory of old threads serves, people were excited about Grime precisely because they thought the culture was in such a bleak place. Hauntology is your generation's concept.

I'm into some of the music in this sort of indie/EMD/disco diva zone: e.g. Haim, Maggie Rogers, Carly Rae Jepsen

The initial post song in this thread reminds me of this song (probably cos its sort of the same chord sequence)

haim are one of those things where i fall in love with the artists, like daydream about being famous and meeting one of them at a party and stuff and then we start kissing and stuff, regardless of their appearance and how long their legs are, just the yearning quality embodied in the songs, i get a teenage mooning feeling, i love that feeling its so nostaligic.

Really into some of her music. As a musical (and indeed general) ignoramus I'm not sure where this fits into the current landscape. I stumbled across her through an ILX Spotify playlist. I'd be happy to learn of similar music. It's kind of an 80s throwback, isn't it? Kate Bush is the influence...

Yeah I thought maybe the pink/blue is code for the gender-spectrum thing (he says like a granddad tentatively referring to "tik tok")

The problem is, I don't know where bottom-up culture I believe in is happening among people my age, so it's not a choice I'm fully free to make. I don't think I'm alone in this—I don't see Linebaugh or anyone else my age around here presenting example of living cultural ecosystems/discourses, which can be a respite from spending your time with fossils, interacting with objects that can't talk back and cannot evolve and were fitted to conditions of a world past.

Its mostly true, but I do think the ultra auto tuned goblin rap- the neon screams thesis - is one example

This is the most telling post on the entire site. 18-22 y/o alt-pretty-in-a-homely 60s way San Francisco girls walking around Californian wilderness in Zara button-ups, jean shorts, those fucking felt fedoras like Marnie in Girls. And Luka's daydreaming about running into them at a City Lights party, snuggling his nose into their armpit hair next to a yucca plant, or under a mandala print; fantasies in the backseat of their rented convertible, driving down the PCH, stoned, waving his hand like a plane through the rippling wind. And he says I simp for hipster chicks.

This is so 80s too isn't it – the 80s fed through 21st C. VSTs



Maybe this is just what that "PC music" is and I'm just blissfully unaware lol
