ITT: artists who wish it was 2012 right now

>>70250605
No, considering their popularity has peaked in 2016 based off the rampant contrarian attitude people here have towards them nowadays.

>>70250715
Kek

Clams Casino ;__;

>>70250648
you base a bands popularity on how many people dislike them?

>>70250879
Look up the definition of a contrarian retard

>>70250898
I see, so you're saying they're popular because a lot of people dislike them, which you infer as those people only disliking them because they are popular?

Seems a bit circular, no?

>>70250736

>>70250559
Why would he wish it's 2012?
At the time he only released one album and it was terrible (for the most part)

>>70251308
Now HIM I could understand.

>>70251308
I think he's doing pretty good. Just sticking to songwriting for other artist. Seems like a lot of the EDM-producers from 09-12 went that route

>>70250648
you are using the word contrarian incorrectly.

>>70252566
Nope

>>70252019
Yeah, I do think he's a good producer, who makes interesting beats. Too bad about all the shit he pulls outside of the music, though

I would pay any amount of money or commit any sort of act for another chance at life from 2012.

>>70250559
cherry bomb was his best album, and he's still raking in money if that's what your getting at. basically built an empire off retarded white kids and seems pretty happy with his lot in life unlike earl (and frank for that matter)

>>70255223
You'd have to go back to 2007 to escape that fully. The smartphone, social media, and Obama planted the seeds that caused all of that to happen.

>>70250648
>considering their popularity has peaked in 2016

Yeah right. TMS is still their "biggest" release and they were getting plenty of coverage from 2012 - 2015. It could be argued they peaked with the Jenny Death hype and subsequent 2015 tour. But they've been declining since then.

I actually enjoyed BP quite a bit but it really was their first album that didn't take a big step in a new direction. It was just more accessible and re-used ideas from TMS and JD. I'll be amazed if they get any more notice in the future.

>>70255663
yeah but fucking imagine actuallying carying about "properly" typing on fucking mu like you why dont youf ucking add a tripcode too so EVERYONE can filter your fucking pathetic ass. dont ever fucking talk to me again. imagine fucking listening to 5 hours worth of "tyler the creator" in 2017 just imagine that one bud.

>>70255424
By pissing off the rednecks and helping cause the alt-right to form and Trump to run as well as the rise of BLM/Occupy Wall Street/leftist movements after his victory inspired the rebirth of the progressive/left movement in the US (which mutated into SJWs through the internet like the other side mutated into the alt-right).

For the record I don't think Obama is bad or anything and this isn't the thread for that but his election caused a huge societal shift.

>>70255741
what?

well then he didnt really "plant the seeds" then he just sort of existed.

Skrillex is actually doing better and his sound really is paving the way for the next wave of EDM/Trap/Dubstep and it's cool to watch. His Recess album was great, the album he did with Diplo was solid, and he still releases great singles that still slap the shit out of you. As much as EDM isn't really liked here, I will say that Skrillex has been making even better music and hope he does another full LP that is just as good as Recess was.

4-5 years is what turns you from a teenager into a guy pretty deep in his 20s (18 to 23). That's two different eras in your life and one of them is behind you forever already.

Another 4-5 years are gone (23 to 28) and surprise, now you're not that fresh cool fag in his early 20s who thought he had all the time in the world to play with. Now you're pushing 30.

And so on.

At any point in your life ~5 years ago was always better for the simple reason that you were younger. You still had those 5 years ahead of you. The world won't ever be as fresh as it was 5 years ago and neither will you.

Warlord was fantastic, especially the deluxe songs and Frost God is great too. He will probably do even better now that he's not a huge druggie anymore. He's just been doing another style and his fans are not as annoying and visible now.

The single off Kiss was better (albeit way overplayed) than the singles off Emotion, but Emotion as a whole was a far better album

i meant in terms of popularity, although Another One was a decline in quality from his older albums. I feel like whatever he puts out next will be an improvement from Another One, but he will also SKYROCKET in popularity.

His upshoot in popularity will allow him to achieve meme status that was not possible previously (although within indie circles he already is something of a meme). This will cause his older "fans" to say shit like "Salad Days was better kys pleb fake Mac Demarco fans" (just like "Lonerism was better kys pleb fake Tame Impala fans"). In reality these are the fake fans who were only "fans" to be into "underground"/indie music. Real fans will be like "oh cool they're more popular now" and continue listening to their music.

Rest in peace Mac Demarco on this board and on reddit indieheads though

I wish I was 14 again. My whole world was nothing but mall-goth/emo-lite music back then. I had no friends but I didn't care because music felt like my life. Everything was nice in a strange way.

But then that was 2007/8.

I miss the scene/goth shit. I was never one but those and 2008 weaboos were cool to see. It's probably just nostalgia.

>>70271597
They're supposedly on indefinite hiatus.

>>70271624
Nah he's at the top of his game since he went the funk and 70s retro route

>>70271605
Yeah, in the rare instance I see emo/weeabo/metalhead kids I get a warm feeling. Like I have something in common with them or like a shared history or something, even if in actuality I know deep down that I don't.

I got the same feeling when I was a kid, because back then I was thinking "oh people like me! I can make new friends." Now there's no excuse. Nostalgia's a weird thing.

>>70271624
He's gonna wish it was 2016/2017 in four years

>>70271749
I feel ya. The only thing I relate to is liking metal during my early teens.

All that shit got replaced by people on facebook who are "ironically" depressed and suicidal and call themselves trash. I feel like the teenagers who listen to stuff like Lana Del Ray and Melanie Martinez are the closest thing to the emo scene thing now but less DARKNESS PREVAILS.

>>70271723
thank fuck. overrated trash.
