I thought I hated guitar but I really just hate the pedals

the youths love shoegaze. I saw Slowdive and I swear that crowd was 90% under 18. no complaints here, as I love the genre

[ilikeplanets]

NINETEEN80s, just to clarify

[enthusaroo]

zoomergaze sounds like a new STD

[Joey Goldberg]

what is an enthusaroo?

[ourruseoffools]

Still have beef with this genre but it was once my blood

[Disco King]

I'm going to try to do my part to make millennials the first generation that doesn't just shit on younger people and go "the kids today just ain't right!"

I don't know what "zoomergaze" is, but I will say that Zoomers have better fashion sense than millennials and that I'm glad the twee aesthetic is dead.

[ourruseoffools]

twee>shoegaze. most of the great shoegaazers went to twee eventually (starflyer, mojave 3, ride, hell even the pumpkins kinda). it's more fulfilling. the kids just love the guitar effects again.

[Elphenor]

yes my experience since working in a "music city" is that shoegaze and metal are dominate among the youth

"Wall of sound" is the only sound

everything is either very understated, ambient music with guitars, or completely fucking ridiculous (see: all of metal)

[Disco King]

I love walls of sound. Don't give me a waist-high hedge of sound. What are we, in the suburbs? Go big or go home.

Clearly someone doesn’t fuck with old school death cab and I think that’s fucked up

[Disco King]

If you're going to go quiet, then do that to the extreme, too. Do some Mazzy Star or Low shit where people have to move in closer because they can barely hear you sobbing into the microphone. If you're going to go small, do it in the biggest, most exaggerated way possible. Give me THE BIGGEST SILENCE EVER.

[Joey Goldberg]

you're doing a real good job @ proving Disco's zoomer positivity wrong at every corner

[Joey Goldberg]

also, does a new generation aping an old style of music really make it a new genre altogether, lol?

you didn't see us calling Drake & Kendrick "Mill Hop"

No but you sure can create a an in group out group trend!

[Joey Goldberg]

fuck it though that's what we're doing now

sits real nice next to PBR&B

[redbreegull]

Who the fuck could possibly think Gen Z has better fashion sense than millennials? You like straight parts and clown jeans and bull rings in your nose?

[Disco King]

It's more that I dislike finger tattoos of handlebar mustaches and when people dress like a cast member of Nick & Nora's Infinite Playlist or Little Miss Sunshine and stuff. Oh, and when people look like they're about to ask me whether I'm a Gryffindor or a Hufflepuff.

I have not entirely made peace with low-rise jeans making a comeback, but the other elements of fashion are fine.

If wincing when I see these on folks makes me some kind of ageist bigot, I embrace the term. No surrender. No retreat

We shall fight them on the beaches, and on the landing grounds, in the Walmarts and in hipster hangouts. We will never surrender.

[Joey Goldberg]

& low-rise jeans are great it's about time people took a break from pulling their pants up to their chest or whatev

anyway, how 'bout that mybloodyvalentine eh?

[Cool As Ice Cream]

did not seem all that bloody, to be honest

[redbreegull]

I ordered it extra bloody, so blame it on the butcher

[Joey Goldberg]

zoomergaze is a government conspiracy meant to distract from FollowAsILead informative music videos

but this song's pretty cool

[Rocket Launcher]

Boomergaze would make sense
