What do you see in Charli, Corpsey? I've never been able to get into it.

The sense that the 80s is being recreated, but it's even more false this time... Even more postured because it's aping the postures they did the first time around. And the glitchiness of the production feeds into that impression. The sadness is genuine, though. It's Internet music – false, flashy, undergirded by pure melancholy.

Link a track that sounds like New Shapes or Gone for comparison?

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.

I have a masive nostalgia for the PCH, we all do, we were brought up on it despite living the wrong end of the planet and never having a snowball chance of cruising down it in raybans and a red convertible

I'm not really aware of Charli XCX as a vocalist. I like the songs/her voice but it's more the production that I'm interested in.

This is probably missing the point (surprise surprise) in that the 80s must represent something for people to do with gender blurring (all the men in makeup, e.g.). All the stuff that we (my generation) used to laugh at the 80s for – the camp, false, "tasteless" elements.

Although supposedly now is more the 90s nostalgia era?

I hear lots of claims as to how contemporary music is "just" a rehash of the 80s. Sometimes I have a reference to ground those claims against, sometimes I don't.

 

[Corpsey]

I'm no XCXpert - just know (and love) a few choons

 

[sus]

I just wanna hear 80s tracks where I'm like "oh, yeah, that sounds like a late 2010s pop song"

There's definitely a strong 80s influence in this stuff but you can't imagine it actually coming out in the 80s IMO

I dislike that being a modern intellectual means believing fully in Lana Del Ray and having fully formed, in depth opinions on her. Big part of the reason why so many of these threads are never on topic. revulsion at modernity

Possibly also relevant?

the DRAMATIC

I really can't stand music like this and kinda assumed that all of our lot did so it's good to read the other side of the argument here. There's something about tunes like that Christine and xcx tune that seem to me to work against rather than with, the human body. Their blockiness and crashing...

I suppose it is a bit powdered wigs and stockings, too

But it's diseased with doubt
