>>128387765 (OP)
Better taste than /mu/

isn’t a perfect peak into what a garbage hellworld we have that only in the case of deftones is OP not lying…

the fucking “change” band is the one that survived hahahahahahaha

>>128387782
not OP but he's right about most of those

nope

>>128387765 (OP)
Some of these are kind of niche, but the Cure have sold 30 million records dude. They are not some obscure old band that zoomers discovered. Same with Alice In chains. My mom knows these bands.

>>128387765 (OP)
What about Unwound?

it does genuinely weird me out that duster is some big thing now with sad zoomers.
duster was to winter driving music as pinback was to summer driving music for the 2000's for me. the thought of kids only knowing this music through 5 second clips set to ai landscapes on their phones is creepy to me.

>>128388615
Duster is autumn.

>>128388634
you had to be there lil bro

>>128387765 (OP)
theyre annoying but they got city of caterpillar to reform so im fine with it

>>128388370
did your mom exponentially increase their listenership? didn't think so.

>>128387778
True. Fuck /mu/core and fuck hipster culture.
Only losers dwell in the past a past that was pretentious and stupid not even good.
Freedom ahead.

>>128388826
the OP is literally old /mu/core what the hell point are you trying to make.

>>128388963
What's new /mu/core?

>>128387765 (OP)
i got to talking to someone young enough to be my daughter about MBV recently, apparently "everything" that is new these days sucks. i probably agree with her about mainstream pop but there is still good stuff coming out in other genres surely. but nice to see the historical documents i grew up with are still being appreciated

>>128387765 (OP)
Crystal castles are not revived they fizzled
Low was not revived by anyone they strove and strained in the face of imminent death throughout their career. True artists.
TV girl was always zoomercore
Sparklehorse was never revived either
Dean blunt is an old zoomer (good artist tho)
Alex G is zoomercore too
DIIV have never been revived they are always just 'there'
Elliot Smith has been dick ridden since he died, zoomers did nothing
Smiths have been "rediscovered" by every generation, not revived
The Cure have been worshipped by their ever growing cult fanbase since the good ol days, and with good reason
Beach house have always been around
The cranberries have always been famous for their handful of eternal bangers
Grouper is zoomercore, not old
AIC are so popular that they still sell out shows with that hack replacement singer. Not zoomer fueled
Jeff Buckley (see elliot smith)
Mazzy star (see the smiths)


The only ones here that legit got zoomed are Deftones, slow dive, and sweet trip

None of these artists needed "reviving."

>>128387765 (OP)

/mu/ made popular: duster, MBV, cocteau twins, crystal castles, HANL, beach house, american football, TV girl, stereolab

Youtube algo made popular: salvia palth, elliott smith, TV girl, possibly some others.

Zoomers caused Alex G,diiv, revived creed, the smiths, the cure, alice in chains, deftones, and whoever else

they just revived Local H on tiktok

>>128387765 (OP)
This is all thanks to /mu/'s influence

>>128388977
Doesn't exist because every zoomer is a dunce and a consumerist whore

Zoomers will NEVER spoil the greats though

>>128387765 (OP)
Why don't Zoomers care about Ride?

>>128388826
Finish your essay timmy

>>128390943
giga based

>>128387765 (OP)
>TV Girl
fuck that
>>128390945
Ride is boomer music but just like other boomer things like Debian it's really good

>>128388977
Just whatever fagtano, nup4k and rym are saying are good

Are they still safe?

>>128387765 (OP)
>Cranberries

>>128391724
Man of culture.

>>128387765 (OP)

>>128391760

>>128387765 (OP)

>>128389285
you're wrong

>>128388977
None. There have been like no new bands in the last 5 years, let alone a whole nu /mu/core. We don't like garbage like Wet Leg and The Last Dinner Party so there's nothing.

>>128388580
Too noisy for them.

>>128393424
We like The Last Dinner Party though.

>>128393443
I'm a zoomer that loves anything hardcore and metal. Today Is The Day is my fav.

>>128387765 (OP)
So instead of making their own music, zoomies are taking credit for "reviving" music made by Gen X and millennials?

>>128387765 (OP)

What do you mean "singlehandedly revived"? Many of those artists were old even when Millennials picked up on them 15 years ago.

It's up to each generation to keep cool things in the zeitgeist. Call it digital antiquing.

MBV are late-Boomers, who were enjoyed during their run by Gen-Xers. Millennials got told by Pitchfork that Loveless was a significant release, and we respects our elders so we held it in high esteem as well. Now Zoomers are carrying the torches for these artists. It's not that complicated.

Google over the last few years:

TV Girl x37
Alex G x14
Dean Blunt x12
Duster x8
Sweet Trip x6
Deftones x5
Whirr x4.5
Jeff Buckley x3.5
Salvia Palth x3.5
Creed x3
Have a Nice Life x2.5
Cocteau Twins x2
Crystal Castles x2
Mazzy Star x2
Slowdive x2
Alice in Chains x1.5
American Football x1.5
Beach House x1.5
The Cranberries x1.5
Grouper x1.5
Elliott Smith x1.5
The Smiths x1.5
Broadcast x1
The Cure x1
DIIV x1
Low x1
My Bloody Valentine x1
Sparklehorse x1
Stereolab x0.8
Teen Suicide x0.8

Conclusion: OP is 73% right.

How can you revive something that was never popular? Duster was pretty obscure for over a decade after they stopped putting out music. My dad loved slowcore and never knew them

>>128393457
The lead singer's nudes are atrocious

That obscure underground band Alice 'N Chainz

>>128389285
>Sparklehorse was never revived either
Emo rapper Lil Bo Weep used a Sparklehorse sample in a great song. Bless her soul.

itt pedantic cunts

>>128395462
lmao

>>128387765 (OP)
Maybe the fact that Tiktok is a music centric social media helped. It's only natural that old classics ressurfaces, it was a matter of time. It was mostly from late-millenials and early-zoomers, btw: 2018-2019 Tiktok, and musical.ly before the merge, was full of 90's and 2000's bands songs.
Tiktok just made popular group within the niche more popular to people outside of it.

>>128395850
If I was born in 96 am I late millennial or an early zoomer?
