Why does Indie Rock not seem to, you know, "rock" as much as it used to?
Indie rock was always championed by effete yuppies, upper class castrati who see masculinity as vulgar and lower class.
There is something about being rich that makes you into a faggot.
I read a study once that showed lower class people lift weights more, while upper class people do cardio more.

This. Also the fact that popular music critics have been promoting effeminate music since at least the 60s. And it's just gotten more effeminate with time. Partly because of culture and partly because of the average drop in testosterone
Because the water turned them gay and they're more in touch with their soft side

Its time has past. Bands like Pavement have really depreciated for me. That sort of "whimsy" of the 90s early 2000s just seems completely irrelevant now.

Pantera: the thinking man's music
Like i was reading about the origins of shoegaze and how he original scene was killed by american grunge, because the music journalists saw kevin shields as some weak rich boy, while grunge came from a lowerclass place, and grunge had more power and screaming

yikes

Pantera is music to punch someone to, something to rage to. I never said it was "thinking mans music".
You would never see some p4k brooklyn hipster who liked pantera.

I actually know a hipster from Brooklyn who's favorite band is Pantera. He's at a Destruction/Warbringer concert as I make this post.

I knew the singer's brother in high school. He was a real cool kid.

dont you think its funny how rich people are more ready to run away than to fight.
I think they dont like the idea of a lowerclass person being strong or being able to beat the shit out of them
>>73120955
But the thing is while the earlier acts weren't exactly on the level of Vulgar Display of Power or something they at least had some bollocks to them. Pixies, Pavement, Guided by Voices, Dinosaur Jr. etc. were bands that packed a bit of a punch, at least when they wanted to. Nowadays so much Indie is just sappy. I wouldn't be surprised if some haven't used a distortion pedal in their life.
>>73121242
yes, that is absolutely why people avoid fights.
>>73121242
I think it's because a lower class person has less to lose by standing to fight than a rich person does, that and (and I speak from experience here) those from a lower class background usually end up in environments where they have to quickly learn to defend themselves, either at work or at home, that richer kids more often than not don't end up in.
