Dimes Square is taking over alt music and it's making a lot of people nervous

>>127539713 (OP)
It all looks like contrived shit. You do you though.

>May 2023
Get with the times, grandpa. No one gives a fuck about Dimes Square anymore, it’s all about Bushwick. Also fuck New York
t. Heterosexual LA faggot

>>127539713 (OP)
I won't accept an electroclash "revival" unless it's French.

>>127539713 (OP)
I'm so happy this shit flopped.

>>127540065
Frost Children and The Dare are quite popular still

>>127540081
What did Peter Thiel pay you to say that? Do you also run his streaming bots for him?

>>127540081
Where? Frost Children can’t even reach 1 million monthly listeners

>>127539946
Foreigner here. NY will always be more interesting than California

i think the fact it didn’t happen is what OP’s making fun of, dipshit

>>127539946
Fuck you and everything you stand for, you LA degenerate shithead.

Who gives a fucking shit what's happening in NYC or LA anymore? Ever heard of the fucking internet? Maybe it matters if you have a podcast or something gay like that.

No choice anymore. Ever seen a fucking smartphone?

>>127540516
you 100% have a choice.

how does adamn killa fit into the equation

>>127539946

Nobody ever gave a fuck about dimes square in the first place, it was a bunch of astroturfing by uptown trust fund babies who had the cash to pretend they were 00s alt rock hipsters and influencers for a few years before their parents made them get real jobs. Everyone interesting was over in Bushwick the entire time Dimes square was a thing.

>>127539713 (OP)
Zoomers are incapable of doing anything authentic. They've somehow managed to be even more vapid than millennials.

>>127541542
they're not allowed to do anything authentic (assuming they want an audience)

>>127539713 (OP)
>trannies
Nope

>>127541653
Good point

>>127539713 (OP)

>“We’re so authentically trashy” ahh pictures
This is why nobody likes the strokes anymore

>>127540371
>Who gives a fucking shit what's happening in NYC or LA anymore?

But you know, Jerry Wexler famously said he hated New York and LA and Nashville music for being showbiz and inauthentic. I think it's always kind of been this way to an extent.

>>127542042
good point btw it's never not been like that

>>127539713 (OP)
And yet no good songs at all.

>>127542042
I'm sorry, but a Jew kvetching about a lack of artistic authenticity is hilarious.

>>127542208
which means, what exactly? we speak English here not /pol/ish.

>>127542042
It was bad then and it's worse now.

>>127542226
Jews are notorious for being cultural and artistic vultures. They swoop in, devour the elements that suit their voracious appetites, then shit them out in soulless, hackneyed turds.

yawn

Trust funds all ran out, their dads said to go back to college

what happens when you have a bunch of sheltered rich kids raised by rich Democrat voting helicopter parents

>>127543144
>how dare some people actually succeed in life
Where does this weird /pol/ meme come from that you can't be a real artist unless you've been in a street fight or lived homeless once?

>>127543144
>Democrat voting
bro...

>>127543162
I hate to go there but struggle does tend to lead to better art.

>>127543144
Are you implying conservatives are not creatively bankrupt?

>>127543195
>>127543144
why are you having an argument with yourself?

>>127543162
the issue is these rich kids get all the exposure they want because they're rich, not because they're any good. daddy knows so and so who owns this website so now you get an interview. daddy knows so and so who works for this record label so now you get signed. daddy knows so and so who owns this cool venue and can get you to play shows. etc etc.

>>127543162
Art isn't a meritocratic system, it's pay-to-play. That's why every new artist has corpo execs for parents

>>127543466
>Art isn't a meritocratic system, it's pay-to-play
>this is new
As it turns out in fact it's always been pay-to-play. Do you think Pat Boone had 70 Billboard hits because he had any actual talent or because Dot Records were the gods of Payola back then?

>>127543559
>>127543466
it always did exist however since 2010 the incentive structure was set up in such a way that only rich Democrat voting "indie" kids would get their crap out there, unless they did country music

>>127543559
you seem to think that just because something isn't new, it's not a problem.

>>127543601
>Democrat voting
You are such a moron.

>>127543601
But that again proves everything and nothing at the same time that art isn't a meritocracy and the group of people who had political power at that point in time were the ones who were going to get promoted.

>>127539713 (OP)

>they all look like autistic losers that think they're cool
is this a requirement?

>>127543559
At the same time Mariah Carey's #1 hits every year of the 90s was equally suspicious.

>>127541499
Nothing interesting came out of Bushwick either

>>127543631
See >>127543623

There is no proof of some overarching conspiracy to force rich kid indie slop on people.

>>127543675
peter thiel (not a democrat lol) was funding that scene.

>>127543675
not what I was implying but ok

dumbfucks here think democrats have anything to do with indie "star" rich kids.

they are only socially liberal but don't give a fuck about the common people's plight, or politics at all. but keep coping, it's almost 99.9% a money game and politics are just PR for fans

>>127543631
well fine, asshole. you "won" this year. enjoy your garbage nu metal and cockrock revival now that your people have power.

>>127543779
Thank you I will.

>>127543779
I dont think any part of music will change because of trump. Didn't last time either, just got a bunch of "IM GAY" and bitching which never really went away.

>>127543886
nta but last time he was too politically inexperienced and didn't know the DEI machine was there so it continued operating and shitting out stuff like Billie Eilish. he's a lot smarter now and has been working to dismantle it piece by piece.

>>127543921
Lol.

>>127543921
It's like...do I need to go into the Smithsonian and see wall to wall exhibits about slavery, Jim Crow, and Native American genocides?

>>127543946
that never happened

Th last time they did this it was the strokes who utterly suck, we were told they’re the band of the generation and they are not good, just a pretty singer

>>127543990
if they have to tell you it's the band/singer of a generation like they did with Shillie Eilish in 2019 then it probably isn't

>>127543946
why do Amerifats have such a hard time confronting the shitty, brutal, and inhumane things their country has done?

mhmmm suuuuure

NY constantly has to convince people how interesting it is
LA is just intrinsically interesting

>>127543779
at least that music is for sex havers

More like sex changers

But enough about Swifties.

>>127543779
why do you think Taylor Swift did one last big cash grab tour last year? she sensed what was going to happen soon and that her USAID checks would be gone.

>it's been 2 years since this article and all of these artists were overshadowed by snow strippers
>the dare is just a lcd soundsystem clone
>snow strippers is just a crystal castles clone

man, early gen z really wants to be millennial so bad

>>127543779
It's just that after a decade of doing their damndest to run heterosexual white males out of damn near everything...

>>127544486
never happened and DEI never actually existed outside right wing media memes

>>127544486
not _exactly_ but there was a definite push for the idea that the traditional rock audience should just listen to country instead and that pop would just be like for fags and 11 year old girls.

>>127544524
I remember that not being the case as late as the Bush years, at that time rock culture was still very much mainstream and most dudes listened to rock or were involved in rock scenes.

>>127539713 (OP)
>neposhit
it's so funny how any publication that mentions a "music scene" has to shoehorn some nepotards in there

>>127544524
> pop would just be like for fags and 11 year old girls
you kinda type like a juvenile, are you old enough to remember Cher?
pop was always for the gays. even lady gaga was for the gays and she blew up in 2008 long before """DEI"""

>>127544696
I think he was more trying to argue that the record industry implied that they weren't going to support the rock audience anymore and they should listen to country instead.

>>127544696
there was always pop and always 11 year old girls listening to it but it wasn't always dykes yelling about men holding them back

>>127545041
also there wasn't as he calls it porno pop. sure most of this was for tween girls but it was at least innocent.

Millenials are the overwhelming majority of employed music journalists so they will of course pay lip service to anything that worships their extremely embarrassing culture.

>>127539713 (OP)
I have to admit, I've been having trouble sleeping since Dimes Square started taking over alt music

>>127539946
LA is super cringe. Nothing but fat Mexicans making the most generic "goth/dark wave"

More new york music rich kid shit minus the songwriting chops of the original indie rich kids in the 2000s, how fun and original! I love indie slop, I love sleaze!! Toms and a tank top with my leather jacket, please! Cant wait to rave with the 36 year olds who still like this shit! Oh the club is empty because zoomers are either gooning or at a 2hollis concert? Oh well! We can always go eat at the dogshit restaurant Dimes Square was named after, complete with authentic graffiti!

>>127539946
so on a scale of 10 how miserable are you over there

>>127544421
Not that anon but look it up. 1996 is a grey area. All 3. I'm autistic enough to prepare for these arguments.

>man, early Gen Z wants to be Millennial so bad
Why do you fucking think? Imagine having Osamason, Ken Carson and Xaviersobased as your contemporaries. Be thankful that isn't you. I'm at that point where I'm almost giving up on this shit. Landfill Indie is better than this shit. Also XXXTentacion, Zillakami, Juice WRLD, Wifisfuneral, Killstation, Lil Skies, Kid Trunks, Night Lovell, Lil Pump, Kodak Black, Lil Yachty and Freddie Dredd were all part of that wave. It's like Colonial India. Fucking pussy.

>>127548451
Unless you’re living in the urban parts of LA proper (where the riots took place), the surrounding cities are fine; they vary from 1/10 (Compton/South Central) to 8/10

>>127548457
You are cherry picking the better of our artists and the worse of yours. Go listen to Geese or something, squirt, gen z has some great ones but it isn’t this rehashed crystal castles lcd soundsystem shit.

>>127548474
Snow Strippers on that undecided borderline. Also fuck Geese. I mentioned the soundcloud rappers to prove that Older Zoomers were there in that Young Millennial scene (if they are being honest about their age).

>>127548457
And you’re right about those ones, they were old enough to be teens when those bands (or at least crystal castles) was going, but it’s too derivative. The dare is unironically the same early lcd soundsystem sound with snarkier vocals

>>127548487
I would rather listen to ken carson or 2hollis than The Dare, LMAO have a look at this dogshit lyricism from the guy biting lcd soundsystem

The fact that this is a million + listeners is only explained by one thing

>>127548451
NTA but I live in a suburb down in OC which is technically still part of the LA Metro Area and I couldn't be happier. Will probably ride my bike down to the beach later and smoke some weed

>>127542657
More likely that is what people want, if you hate Jews you hate reality itself.

>>127548526
jesus christ. Dangerously close to Ken Carson lyrics wise. Haven't heard The Dare but i'll take your point on it.

>>127548636
the ken carson lyocs are better desu. better rhyme and meter.

>>127547716
>Millenials are the overwhelming majority of employed music journalists so they will of course pay lip service to anything that worships their extremely embarrassing culture.

how's that any worse than the boomer journalists who drank Lennon and Springsteen's cum for decades?

>>127548457
>XXXTentacion, Zillakami, Juice WRLD, Wifisfuneral, Killstation, Lil Skies, Kid Trunks, Night Lovell, Lil Pump, Kodak Black, Lil Yachty and Freddie Dredd
not music

>>127550184
springsteen made better music than the fucking dare, dude. come on.

>>127547716
well i was born in 88 I'd have been considered a core Millenial and the idea of upboating this slop would be so foreign to me that I can't imagine where anyone would contemplate doing that.

>>127550232
I meant the specific type of Millenial who works in music journalism is the type who would propaganda P4k slop until the heavens fall in.

>>127548448
these people should just consider mass suicide

>>127550249
on that note, the p4k guy who gave the dare’s latest album a 6.2 also did this:

>>127550318
Their narcissism will never allow them to, unfortunately for us. The best we can hope for is fent laced coke taking a bunch of them out at a single party.

>>127550417
wrote an article about a subject his editors picked?

>>127550232
So they should write about what instead? Nu metal and Kid Rock nostalgia? Get fucked.

>>127550475
Slim pickings huh? To answer your question, for once this decade NOT cashing in on nostalgia, promoting more outsider / alternative stuff.

>>127550504
no i'm just saying i know what he's getting at he's very likely a fucking /pol/ tourist redneck posting from his dial up connection in a trailer in Kansas and complaining that P4k is nostalgic for the wrong kinds of 00s music and if only they wrote more articles about the genius of Buckcherry then everything would be ok

>>127547716
You can't look at E-Girls, the nigger speak, shit like Osamason and Nettspend, retards that do the "brainrot quiz", 2018/2019 memes, the TikTok dances, the trannies and the non-binaries and say that Millennials have an embarrassing culture. Like look at what ground we are standing on. Fucking retard.

>>127546223
This is 4chan.

>>127546223
Being 30+ means I've wasted better years than you'll ever have the opportunity to live through as an adult. I find it hilarious that you would willingly choose to come here knowing what I know.

>Wanna put me in a cage
>I'd probably fuck the hole in the wall
Generally, a cage is not surrounded by walls, as it is an enclosure with an open-work or mesh structure for confinement.

that's all zoomer shit though

>>127551101
>trannies and the non-binaries
Millennials pushed this shit tho?
