00's NME indie rawk to be specific

yeah folk rock is probably the most generic genre overall.

>>62007958
>> rock and roll
>> folk rock
>> blues rock
>> indie rock
Pretty much.

Also, ambient, drone and noise. And that's coming from someone who likes these a lot — if you consider the entire production in these genres, there's way too much derivative, amateurish, decent-to-middling stuff.

Reggae and ska sound bland to me too but that may be because I know very little about them.

haven't tried these recs out yet but I've heard this described as math-y and I like it, is there anything similar to it?

Dream pop

>>62007958
RAC

>>62008302
This. First wave is literally the same song repeated thousands of times. Two Tone is just...weird. And 3rd wave is ultra-generic pop punk with horns

Drone by far. I love drone but it all starts to sound the same ironically.

The whole "alt pop" sound where every artist has a name in all caps, (let's say KIESTO or something stupid like that), an album/ep/song called some single dumb word (something like "Boundries) and basically just results in a third rate purity ring/fka twigs wannabe
Seriously my sister plays all these songs in the car and they honesty all sound the same

>>62010080
this
if i have to listen to fucking halsey or melanie martinez one more time i'm gonna strangle somebody

>>62008833
Ahleuchatistas, Trout Mask Replica, Old Time Relijun
I'm enjoying it so far

>>62008833
Other recs
U.S. Maple, Arab on Radar, The Contortions

Avant-garde/experimental jazz

>>62008551
indie folk was easily one of the best things to come out of the 'indie' 'movement'. you cannot tell me the decemberists and beirut werent worthwhile. its just they did their thing which was supposed to be a one time thing but it dragged on and became a boring ass trend

vigitarian grindcore.

"hard rock"

Especially 2000's bands. Here's one of those bands pretending to be stoner metal. Enjoy the boring mediocrity: https://youtu.be/L6sxgp97wvs

garage rock has some of the best and most boring rock music

shoegaze has become bandcampcore

drill music blows cock

hardcore is stagnant as fuck aside from a select few weird great bands (and even then two of the best, NASA Space Universe and Sexdrome, are no more)

synthpop

Stoner/doom/less extreme sludge

shit's so shallow and boring

>>62010080
Borns
Halsey
etc

indie
rap
new complexity classical
reggae
singer-songwriter
progressive metal a la dream theater
fusion a la allan holdsworth
djent

im not going to list each genre with the precedent "indie" you fucking faggot. you know what i mean

>>62013237
do you mean sonic youth indie, arctic monkeys indie, or a hawk and a hacksaw indie? i dont.

>>62013271
anything "indie" is shit

>>62008219
The toe isn't actually that bad

>>62013288
groundbreaking shit is usually indie, then goes to major labels. you can hate indie culture like i do but you cant deny this.

Definitely Shoegaze. My Bloody Valentine and Slowdive are the only standars and groundbreaking bands. Everything else is MVB and Slowdive worship.
