whenever some shitty landfill indie like vampire weekend comes on or some shitty trailer for a Judd apatow movie comes on I suddenly get what nogs mean by "white mediocrity"

>>211604283 (OP)
Name 1 (one) movie

>>211604511
You are fucking retarded.
That libtard Jew, Koenig made some classic tracks. The first three records are basically flawless.
>>211604639
It opens Step Brothers.
I recall Holiday being in a shitload of commercials.

>>211604283 (OP)
It’s a great album you dumb zoomer faggot.

>>211604283 (OP)
I liked one of thier songs...I think. I can't remember the name of it thoughever.

>>211605592
Ay ay ay ay

>le vampire weekend!!!
>I'm le trendy and hip and unique!!!!!!

>>211604283 (OP)
gay band for gay faggots. the late 2000s had shit music but it was still better than the shit you get today

>>211604283 (OP)
what's wrong with a-punk
it's a great song

>>211605699
late 00s was great you're just a hater

>>211604283 (OP)
for me it's walcott

>>211605681
>look at me! I dislike thing that was popular! please notice me!

>>211605821
thank you for noticing

>>211604283 (OP)
The music video was underwhelming

This was my Myspace song

>>211604283 (OP)
this or Paper Planes

>>211605681
I still can't wrap my head around how indie music was simultaneously niche and popular at the same time.

>>211606184
What the fuck is a Mysteak?

>>211604511
The first three vampire weekend albums are genuinely the most interesting indie rock ever although they turned to shit when they lost their lead guitar guy.

Also Neo Yokio is the definition of a misunderstood masterpiece. The fact most people think it was made by Jaden Smith as a completely unironic work is so mind-numbingly retarded and just arrogant ignorance that it proves single-handedly that 99% of people shouldn't be able to have an opinion on art

>>211606338
>three
first was incredible, second was decent, third was already sliding into trash

>>211606651
Modern vampire is actually better than the second. It gets better on relistens. Hannah Hunt is really good

>>211606267
I knew you wouldn't get it.

>>211606743
who cars, I'd rather just listen to the first
anyway they aren't peak indie just because ezra koenig ran an afrobeat blog and mixed it up a little. belle & sebastian, destroyer, guided by voices, anco, smurfjohn, etc. all have album trios that mog em

>>211604283 (OP)
These guys’ image kinda got fucked because people didn’t know their preppy douchebag schtick was ironic. They went to Columbia and were rich, but Ezra and Rostam aren’t WASPs so they didn’t get invited to the cool kids parties on Cap Cod.
It’s a subtle distinction

>>211606966
No one cares hipster.

>>211604283 (OP)
VW are a good group, they were to the '10s what the strokes were to the '00s, at least quality-wise

>>211607023
>this was peak indie, they were really onto something. most people shouldn't even be able to comment on this shit because they can't handle it
>ok well I didn't even care anyway, >>>>hipster
good luck with that, goodbye

>>211604283 (OP)
I love all of their albums, especially Modern Vampires, but >>211606966 is correct

>>211606215
Paper planes was such a bop

>>211606977
the other problem is that OP is their only great album

>>211606215
that was the Pineapple Express song, too bad the movie sucked

>>211607201
Nice, we got rid of the faggot. Now we can talk about important things. Like, what does Mackenzie Foy's hair smell like.

>>211605592
>>211604751
Vampire Weekend is not a good band. Their first album is the only interesting one.

The Strokes in 200_ were good mainstream "indie." Julian Casablancas is both a nepo baby and an actually talented musician.

TV and films only use the most overplayed Strokes songs, but their discography is really rich.

>>211607610
Im actually more fond of Modern Vampire
Hannah Hunt is a beautiful song

>>211607793
Based

Vampire Weekend is one of those band I hated the second I heard A-Punk.

I dont know if I can put my finger on why. I find them tryhard, tryhard in a sense that they tried so hard to be unique and not like every other band that was popular at the time, that's not a bad thing, but it just felt unorganic, like chucking an obnoxious sound of a blender chewing up glass in the middle of a soft guitar ballad just to make an otherwise bland song stand out.

I hated the video for A-Punk, the "oh were so quirky, we're not like the other girls (bands)"
The "hey hey hey" at the end of the wurlitzer-whatever-the-fuck-it-is interlude like anyone is going to headbang and pump their fist in the air to this song. A bunch of upper middle class, overeducated white people just throwing their bodies around like a bunch of spastics. The way they wore their guitar so fucking high up like they had a throbbing erection from the mere thought of all the alt-girls who were going to gobble the rock-lite shit they were selling and slobber all over their cocks for the next 5 years.

Have heard a few song of them on occation, just fucking hate it with an irrational passion.

>>211604283 (OP)
RICH KIDS
DICKING AROUND

for me its Friendly Fires and Cut Copy

>>211612162
>Cut Copy
you know one of those guys made qwop and the game where you're a guy in a cauldron with a hammer climbing up a mountain?

>>211604283 (OP)
Kino

>>211613521
No, I don't know that. I don't know what the fuck you're talking about.

>>211605821
Everyone on mu after the MTV performance.

for me, it's The Cribs

>>211606338
>the most interesting indie rock ever
No? Just cause they added some african influence doesn't make them the most interesting. They mostly sounds like Arcade fire.

>>211614475
Have you tried getting over it?

>>211613521
how stoned are you dude

>vampire weekend is good
they literally dont even play that shit on any of the college radio stations that glazed with no payola coming in, while they'll still play random indie shit from the 2000s from animal collective wild beasts to tom vek and even the pixies and husker du
its fucking trash for women with trustfunds

>>211611890
holyyyyy
what happened to this nigga, he kept deleting and republishing his old videos. did he come around on wham and have an existential crisis

>>211615671
No, anon. I don't play video games and I we are not the same age. You're very odd. Not everyone grew up like you did.

>>211616823
zoom

>>211616823
>You're very odd
how old or, alternatively, young are you that you never played flash games in school
this shit was massive in the cultural consciousness between like 2008 and 2016 or so, it's not like I presumed you were my age +/- 6 months

>>211604283 (OP)
For me, it's Boxer

>>211617119
for me it's their self titled debut and the first half of sad songs for dirty lovers
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l9Cf3egE8oA

>>211604283 (OP)
is that the ska-type song where they chant "hey hey hey"? I'm not gonna look it up.

>>211605699
>gay band for gay faggots. the late 2000s had shit music
objectively, demonstrably and irrefutably true. dubs confirm.

>>211617214
I love that song

Every single band and album in this thread was terrible then and is still terrible now.

I know this is not /mu/ but I wish they still made upbeat hipster music. I liked it when it was popular, and I want more.

>>211617322
Do shut up.

>>211617347
>vampire weekend fan thinks he can order anyone else around
I would snap you in half

>>211617328
it's never coming back
structural, fiscal, critical pipelines have all but left in ruins. all you can do is read old hipsterrunoff articles on internet archive and download gorilla vs bear top albums of 2008

>>211617328
>I liked it
well I didn't and I outrank you.

>>211604639
I think it's just Step Brothers. Often times these sorts of memes or tropes are attributed to a single use that is important. Step Brothers is still a very popular movie, and the best summary of that time. If it's not Step Brothers it's the Hangover btw.

>>211615671
gemmy game

>>211619083
yeah buddy your neighbors told me, put some deodorant on

>>211619307
oh yeah? what are their names?

>>211619389
they were still chokin, could barely get a word out, half of it was just gesticulating, said you fuckin REEKED

>>211619499
you're not as funny or clever as you think you are and that's why you'll never make lieutenant

>i could have experienced the tail end of this vibe in nyc in the mid-2010s but i decided that playing fucking garry's mod constantly was a better use of my time
the terminally online gamer lifestyle doesn't discriminate by economic class bros
how do i cope?

>>211620501
at this point it's antisocial, no one else wants to be rank

>>211606267
Hipsters, demographically, are obviously very niche but in terms of culture they had a huge chunk of it at the time since NYC and LA matter more than say, Kansas. That combined with all of these bands being completely fine with selling out in two seconds is how you get a song like Handstands in that IPod commercial.

>DOUBLE HANDED BACK STROCK
>ALL THE WAY FROM FRANCE
>40 MILLION DOLLARS
>THE KIDS DON'T STAND A CHANCE

>>211617322
you have never listened to The Cribs

>>211622441
That song you posted was the worst one ITT. They're awful.

>>211622480
so you've never listened to them, yes, that's what I said. and your favorite indie record is...?

>>211605699
Can't argue with this.

>>211617322
Objectively correct.

>>211622731
Nta but indie is shit.

>>211622731
I literally just listened to them when you posted that absolute dogshit song you fucking moron.

>>211622958
were you molested or something? no one likes someone who's hostile and negative for no reason all the time. Obviously, OBVIOUSLY the 'before' was implied, but you don't strike me as someone who talks to people very much so I suppose I should give your raads-r score more consideration next time. I'll ask you directly, again, since you dodged the question: what indie rock album do you actually like?

>>211623152
How the fuck would I know? I don't listen to music.

>>211623152
>you don't like shit band #4857264 that I like so you were molested

/mu/ still sending their best retards over here I see.

for me...i thought contra was their peak

>>211606215
this gave me memories of jungle juice

>>211617322
You’re very cool for enjoying nothing and everyone is impressed by you, especially your dad

>>211623247
Try muse.

This is the best album from the late 2000s.

>>211627634
Rec the best song.
