Is there a worse scene than late 80s early 90s British indie?

This thread is definitely going places.

There's few great albums, but there's a very solid single culture that made for some good compilations.

Tracks like Nothing To Be Done, Velocity Girl, There Must Be a Better Life and Everyone Thinks He Looks Daft are all classics.

I'm going to keep spamming OPs threads with random Twee thoughts until the fucker deletes it.

Pic related is the best Wedding Present album, although they are more or less removed from the scene by this point. Not that anyone knows the specifics of the scene or even cares.

You actually like George Best, you know it. Also Seamonsters is even better.

it sucks, it's uninspired musically and lyrically, it all sounds the same. fucking schlock

>>73902794
Have you listened to Seamonsters?

It's quite different to George Best, which highlights aside I can understand you thinking is uninspired and repetitive.

It still blows my mind that a jangle pop band managed to work with this man.

You take that back, now

Who does Morrissey make music for? I think you have to be either a girl, a fag, or just a a low T effeminate man to enjoy the smiths.

I think you're onto something here

>>73902768
Agreed, though I wouldn't call it twee, more noise pop. Still, one of the greatest albums ever made IMO, a merging of jangly British indie and American post-hardcore. The crooning is fantastic, the lyrics are masterful, and the pounding drums and noisy guitar are great as well.

This scene is actually notably great. The Pastels, The House of Love, The Mighty Lemon Drops, Shop Assistants, The Stone Roses... it was a beautiful sound, and totally DIY (and mostly very lo-fi). In my opinion it's a perfect counterpart to other creative movements in indie at the time, like noise rock and emocore in the US, and anarcho-punk and crust punk in the UK.
OP is a cunt.

Shoegaze was good though.
