Is indie rock dead? This decade has hardly produced any memorable

>>70155647
Half those albums aren't indie rock though

Hopefully it'll stay dead
It's even worse than ''''''experimental''''' rap and white guilt pop

indie rock dies the minute you turn 23.

>>70156040
Is that the age you start to only listen to classical music?

Yeah, "indie"'s time in the sun is over. Thank God, hopefully that's the end for that limp-wristed garbage.

"indie rock" isn't dead. it was a term used by morons to describe rock music that was remotely subversive. now that the idiots have moved on rock can do so too.

>>70156071
wayyy overrated

>>70155980
Nothing is worse than rap and hip hop, not even backroad beer drinking country pop.

Rock in general is practically dead
Tame Impala is the only memorable act of this decade

how is MPP indie rock????????????????????
how is person pitch indie rock???????????
how the fuck is a post punk revial album indie rock

What is considered indie rock? What is the criteria a band must meet to be indie? Isn't all that based on your own opinion

>>70155647

this is my favourite indie rock band

>>70157570
post punk revival, post "of montreal" pop rock bands, and modern poppy folk are now under the umbrella of indie

>>70157570
Dont fucking genre grub lol its for categorization convenience

the context and tradition out of which all those albums were born are similar enough for it to be appropriate to group them under a term for convenience's sa>>70157570
ke

Parquet Courts have had several albums that were top 10 of the year in their respective years in this decade.

>>70157817
so its not indie rock then. you literally are just grouping a bunch of albums that sound nothing a like. no wonder you can't find music

>>70157794
so why can't op listen to viet cong, king gizzard, tame impala, father john misty, savages, sufjan stevens, ariel pink, jamie xx, grimes, arctic monkeys and tame impala

even vampire weekend has made a better album than the in the OP

>>70158033
>viet cong, king gizzard, tame impala, father john misty, savages, sufjan stevens, ariel pink, jamie xx, grimes, arctic monkeys and tame impala

Most of those artists are from the 2000s or haven't made an impressionable album compared to the picture I posted

>>70158249
I strongly disagree but luckily for you we have technology so you can stay in nostalgia land all you want.

also pitchfork pans drake albums.

Rock is dead in general my dude

Just move on

Some incredibly exciting, challenging, and forward thinking music is being made right now and you guys are still focused on rock, i dont get it. Its had its heyday and its over

>>70158359
for example ?

>>70155647
actually MPP is the album that killed indie rock.

>>70158307
>you can stay in nostalgia land all you want.

I would rather be there than here.
The best rock album of 2016 was made by a band from the 90s

>>70158454
if you're referring to that weezer album then i think you just have bad taste

>>70158497
He clearly means Radiohead you disfunctional fucking autist.

>>70158512
>chamber pop = rock music
again u have bad taste and don't know what indie rock is

>>70158535
>best rock album
>no mention of indie

Your autism is showing.

>>70158535
AMSP is art rock which is a subgenre of rock
I never said it was indie I said that it was the most memorable rock album of 2016, which could also go to Bowie but that's mainly because of the coverage of his death

>>70158584
but the radiohead album wasn't rock. so whats your point again?

>>70155647
it was never alive

>>70158618
it's not art rock, it's art pop/chamber pop, with maybe a bit of alt rock

get your ears checked

>>70158618
if you're gonna go for the art rock angle why not include swans album or nick caves or even xiu xiu
heck the swans trilogy is better than every album in the OP

>>70158659
Its a subgenre of rock mixed with electronic, the same with In Rainbows and TKOL
>>70158671
I completely forgot about that Swans record. It was hardly discussed here

>>70158798
>Its a subgenre of rock mixed with electronic
thats not what art rock is..............

>>70158821
Art rock is the subgenre you autist
An album doesn't exclusively have to belong to one genre

>>70155647
I felt the same way
Then I realized metal is the superior genre which still produces great albums

>>70158860
>An album doesn't exclusively have to belong to one genre
okay so its chamber pop also

>>70158963
That's like saying The Beatles weren't rock because they also incorporated pop into their songs

>>70158659
>browses rym once

>>70158359
>>70158465
Dumb bleepfag

>>70159013
you just said
>album doesn't exclusively have to belong to one genre

check out chamber pop and art pop also if you want more music

>>70157570
>thinking post-punk exists
>being this retarded

better than expected, if Cynic never went away from tech death they probably would've made this.

2016 was a really good year for metal, but your collage is missing my favorite from that genre last year.

>>70159205
buzzwords!

>>70155647
Indie rock is basically dead, and I'm kinda glad, but fuck I wish it wasn't replaced by trap rap.

It's a lot easier to make a hip hop or electronic album now, compared to 10 years ago.

Meanwhile, making a rock record is as hard as ever.
