Listen to these songs and tell me they shouldn’t be a hit? I don’t get it.

I don’t get it. It seems like really good music. They’re just not popular here?

That’s like asking why isn’t Benee popular in the U.S. Their from outside the states. They didn’t break in like Lorde.

omg no one knows who they are here

They had that one song from Melody A.M. that got played in a GEICO commercial. Other than that not much of a break in the states. I guess electronica is too smart of a genre for Americans.

They're in heavy rotation for my listening personally. And since you mentioned them, I'll listen to them again this afternoon

I like Poor Leno

One of my favourite electronic acts, but I'm bong. They always did alright here.

Too many boomers. These songs aren’t boomer friendly.

It's not exactly that. There just weren't a lot of places to hear it. You had to watch specific music video channels or listen to college radio. The commercial radio industry which now only exists as a bloated corpse didn't have much of a place for it, outside of a few things like Daft Punk's One More Time. You needed to have pure pop appeal to break through back then.

no hit wonders

i actually saw them once at a festival back in my ecstasy taking days and they were alright for an afternoon band.

Wow. My thread blew up. Thanks god

I like them a lot but their sound is played out, and shaped for a more millennial audience.

To be fair though not even American artist make it big anymore.

This is millennial?

>>127183898

Yes. What other time period do you think that sound could be from?

>>127183918
No idea desu. What’s benee then?

>>127176626 (OP)
They were 20 years ago. See >>127179229.

iamamiwhoami are better

>>127183990
oh. I don’t know if I sign up to the idea that their music is just for millennials. That’s like saying the Beatles aren’t inter generational. Their one tick tock away from being big in the U.S.

>>127184013
Who?

I’m so happy this thread blew up. I was wondering why they weren’t big
