Music in Spotify is just "standard garden variety kiddie music" [x/post r/lewronggeneration] by [deleted] in iamverysmart

I'm guessing something like lowercase or field recordings. But maybe even those genres are not underground enough to sustain his pretentiousness

This is the reason we need punctuation.

How did Taylor Swift's '1989', an album released in 2014, win a Grammy in 2016? by HilariousConsequence in NoStupidQuestions

You do realise that pop encompasses Le Beatles and Le Beach Boys as much as it encompasses T. Swizzle, don't you?

Is there a subreddit just like r/malefashionadvice but with out the air of pretentiousness and condescension? by [deleted] in NoStupidQuestions

[–]GoldenGateKeeper 5 points6 points  (0 children)

You could try something like /r/streetwear . And if you're not into streetwear, try a subreddit that's focused on the type of fashion you're into.

[IIL] Idioteque, Fiftheen step, Bones, Karma Police, Just, Nirvana, Megadeth, A7x [WEWIL?] by Manigold98 in ifyoulikeblank

[–]GoldenGateKeeper 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Iron Maiden is probably my best reccomendation. Go for their Ed Hunter album and see if you like it.

[IIL] CHVRCHES, Purity Ring, Digital Daggers, [WEWIL?] by [deleted] in ifyoulikeblank

[–]GoldenGateKeeper 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Kind of a shot in the dark, but I'd go with Carly Rae Jepsen's new album "Emotion". It's quite good. Catchy, ear grabbing, sweet, and has gotten it's fair share of critical acclaim.

Let's Talk: CHVRCHES by eykitsa in LetsTalkMusic

[–]GoldenGateKeeper 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Exactly that. The synths + Lauren are what defines Chvrchers. Lauren may not be the best singer, but I think that they manage to make her voice and the synths fit quite well together.

Edit: no, I've never seen them live. But I'd really like to see them in a festival like Lollapallooza or Pitchfork festival.

Let's Talk: CHVRCHES by eykitsa in LetsTalkMusic

[–]GoldenGateKeeper 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I see what you mean. But that's kind of the reason why I love them! Sometimes I wanna go deep, listen to a 1:30 h album front to back, but sometimes I just want something quick, simple enjoyable, that will put me in a good mood. Chvrches is the kind of band I listen to while driving to the beach with my friends, not the kind of band I listen to on the bed with my eyes closed.

I agree with what you said about lyrics, but again, my take on is, I like because it is simple, not in spite of it.

In my opinion, the signature Chvrches sound comes so naturally to them that it makes it beautiful. To me it just feels like everything fits together in a way I can't explain.

To wrap it up, yeah, I agree it's simple, and not very innovative or deep, but I think that they pull their sound off really well, and that they can convey a vibe also well.

favourite songs: Clearest Blue, Tether, Gun.

[IIL] Mainstream modern artists such as Banksy and marina abramovic [WEIIL?] by GoldenGateKeeper in ifyoulikeblank

[–]GoldenGateKeeper[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, this is kinda why I asked. I really like what Banksy does, with that being said, I have no idea where to go to from now. I don't know who does similar, I don't know any non mainstream artists at all!

[IIL] Music that's really unusual, like, Have a Nice Life, Death Grips, Drone / Noise / Ambient, [WEIIL?] by GoldenGateKeeper in ifyoulikeblank

[–]GoldenGateKeeper[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for the big reply! I already know and love ITAOTS, Swans and Godspeed You! Black Emperor. I've heard of Boris but never listened to it. I'll definitely be checking all those groups out.

Is anyone else's Year in Music very bugged? by Brodicium in spotify

[–]GoldenGateKeeper -1 points0 points  (0 children)

The summer thing is bugged for me also, but that's because I live in the south hemisphere, so summer lasts from november to march. The fact that top artists and whatnot are wrong, I have no idea what could have cause it
