Apparently there's an entire genre of music called Zolo whose sole focuses are quirky melodies and shitposting lyrics? What are your favorite albums from this genre?
Kimono My House

Didn't know about this. Good looks, OP.
>>70624925
( I do already love Sparks/KMH, though )
>>70624939
There's also some neat bands from Japan who do this like P-Model and Hikashu.
Not really sure how Kimono My House is Zolo though.
Just seems like glam rock but a bit campier.
Snakefinger is an essential.

Listen to Wha Ha Ha and then get back to me

zolo is a myth. you shouldn't trust RYM for tagging, considering they have a history of approving fake tags for the database (brutal prog, acid rock, bubblegum bass, arctic ambient, etc.)

>zolo 'hierarchy'
embarrassing lad
go back to rym it doesnt exist
Zolo is not a real genre
>>70625635
brutal prog and bubblegum bass are real genres
i would guess acid rock too but I don't know much about it
arctic ambient got deleted almost instantly
>>70625635

acid rock is for sure a real genre. it's the blend of psychedelic rock + hard rock, sometimes it can be kinda noisy.
>>70629520
arctic ambient was on there for like 2 years
>brutal prog and bubblegum bass are real genres
they aren't
>>70624815
>Sparks
>Shitposters
Sparks lyrics are way too witty to be considered 'shitposting'
>>70629854
Their lyrics read like shopping lists desu
>>70629867
None of the songs on Kimono My House are like that at all.
>>70629896
that's where you're wrong
>>70628146
>>70625635
genres exist when people say they do.
even if it's vague it's still good to have it as a tag on there, those are just for the sake of guidance
>>70629919
Really? Post one song from Kimon My House which reads like a shopping list
>>70629867
How is an upbeat song about Albert Einstein like a shopping list?
>>70624815
what makes a melody quirky?

>Zolo isn't real
>But shoegaze is
>>70624815
I feel like They Might Be Giants should fit, but RYM doesn't recognize them as such, so I'll go with Jun Togawa
>>70629953
Accidentals and odd time signatures.
>>70629692
I'm not really convinced by that. The Doors were not really hard rock and are considered a prime example of acid rock.
>>70630000
Agree
>>70629953
Try to guess

Fuck off. You've had at best a 20% accuracy rating on your posts the entire time you've been on this board.

Please do not use the same line of logic as the Supreme Court regarding pornography when categorizing your music.
>>70630246
but why shouldn't i
>>70625147
If P-Model is zolo, then Devo has to be, right?
>>70625216
Zolo usually implies a pop foundation. Wha Ha Ha is just "avant-garde", that's about as specific as you can get with one term.
>>70630003
Holy shit, everything is zolo now okay.
Seriously the term is shit. Just say "weird pop/rock".
