are millennials too vapid for trip hop?

Trip Hop took itself too seriously.

>guys, we're so artful, look at us how we delicately make use of these samples and talk about how gloomy life is and how much we enjoy kinky sex

>>71670380
More like no one could make anything better than Dummy, Mezzanine, or even Maxinquaye.

There's a bunch of good trip-hop from relatively-unknown artists and groups. "Made Into Itself" by Leaf is a good example.

It's just that most of the follow-up triphop in the 90s took a rather formulaic approach and would rather churn out stuff that either sounds like it belongs in a spy movie or poppy, sweet sounding stuff like Sneaker Pimps.

>Sneaker Pimps

One of the best trip-hop groups actually, I really enjoy them. They're not all doom and gloom like your typical critically acclaimed trip-hop.

>>71671620
the weeknd is closer to fucking dream pop and post punk than trip hop
fka twigs is shares more in common with trip hop than weeeknds whole careeer

>>71671693
aw fuck now you've spoiled it for me

>>71671666
Sneaker pimps is great.

Last I heard, they're back together to make some new stuff.

>>71671394
Eh, disagree. If you're willing to look around you can find some really good stuff. Emancipator, Thievery Corporation, Nightmares on Wax, and Blockhead come to mind.

Depends on how strict you want to be about it "being trip hop."

I've never watched House, but 'Teardrop' is one of my least favorite tracks on Mezzanine.
>mfw Dissolved Girl or Black Milk come on

>>71670380
It needed to, all other music around then was clownish.

Mezzanine has better songs but Paradise Circus is a much better album overall
fight me

trip hop is pretty vapid
it's the cloud rap equivalent of the 90s

>>71671717
y u mad tho

>>71672273

Stupidest thing I've read on this board in a while.

>>71671696
y u mad tho plebbb

>>71672291
explain pls

>>71672291
then explain what's deep about trip hop if you go and imply that
to me it just sounds like a more atmosphere-oriented take on hip hop production methods of the time just like what cloud rap is now
and much like it, it doesn't have anything to show other than muh atmosphere and muh production

Is OP too vapid for making blanket statements about a generation who might not listen to everything that came before them and a genre that hasn't been relevant in years?


Sources say: yes

>>71671693
that was literally mfw because I would've never expected it

>>71672291
Definitely. What a clon!

>>71672350
got em

>>71671394
Heligoland is on par to Mezzanine IMO.

>>71670299

they aren't vapid enough for it

>>71672495
Chill niggas are real niggas. There's vapid, and there's being an angsty, miserable, angry tosspot, which is most of your generation.

>>71670299
Are GenXers too vapid for memerap?

>>71672835

>my generation

>>71672835

Please stop lumping those of us born 1980-81 into entitled filthy swill Millennials. We graduated high school BEFORE the millennium. Now evil fuckers like the Jew York Times and Pew Research are trying to entrap us into that mess even though we graduated before the millennium.

Graduating in 1999, that's all we heard (born '81), we were the LAST of Gen X, and media and news programs like 60 Minutes and Peter Jennings Tonight commented on the Millennials (born 1982 onwards), the class of 2000, who would show up next year. 1965-1981 = Gen X, period.

Thank you for your time.

I was born in '88 and I'm in the millennial spectrum. I don't think a lot of people realize they might be millennials themselves (from 1982 onward). I grew up with Massive Attack, Tricky, Theivery Corp, Portishead and the like.

>hurr durr every generation is a de-evolution
they've said this since the fucking 1200s. you're just getting old.

>>71673319
it's a p pointless divide tho innit

>>71670299
I was born in 1997 and I'll be 20 in July, and I love Massive Attack.
Idk if I classify as a millennial, but I've never known anyone my age who liked MA.
nice dubs bitch
