Boards of Canada surely were the first band to do this?

okay, really, i'm all for this, i guess. ducktails is a pretty good band name.
not v. chill but (wikipedia time) Crystal Castles were named after ... She-Ra's fortress in the sky

not all these bands are chillwave. I'll allow it.

fort thunder was never "cute." or at least ONLY cute.
also very few of these bands will ever produce anything on par with the non-musical shit many of the fort thunder guys produced, simply from a scale/intensity/effort standpoint. effort seems to be beyond most of them.
also crystal castles was named for a video game, whatever the band says.

tho both lightning bolt and chippendale's comics made a lot of people of the following generation think they could do what he could do, but they can't, at least not with the ease they think, and they haven't.

I had assumed it was the game too but checked on Wikipedia and it said that. still 80s, -600 points to me for believing wikipedia
― canna kirk (a passing spacecadet), Wednesday, 10 February 2010 16:56 (fourteen years ago) link
btw i know y'all will find this hard to believe but fort thunder's influence has been way more pernicious in comics/visual art than in music

in a way there is a playfulness with this naming trend that i'm tempted to equate with some of the old rave producer/acts. this is all a bit 'tweer' tho perhaps.

I think Eye from Boredoms should get some cred too for his influence A) in visual arts with his colors everywhere collages he's been doing for 20 years and B) his use of emerging technologies in ritualistic and tribal ways, which everyone from animal collective on down have been reinterpreting

What's up with our generation being so nostalgia obsessed? We grew up in the sunny, booming, carefree 90s, and became adults in the worst decade since the Great Depression ... kinda depressing, really. During my second week of college (freedom, yeah!) I got to watch the WTC towers fall from my dorm window, and watch all my classmates cry their eyes out because their family members couldn't be found. Now nobody can find work and there's no recovery in sight.
So yeah, how great was it being forced to watch Captain Planet in health class? Super awesome!

Have You Ever Seen The Jane Fonda Aerobics HVS?Announce UK Tour For October 2016
Have You Ever Seen The Jane Fonda Aerobics VHS? Have announced that they will be touring the UK in October 2016. HAVE YOU EVER SEEN THE JANE FONDA AEROBIC VHS? is a strange bird in the Finnish rock scene not only because of it's long name, but also because the band doesn't have a guitar player.Instead melodies and distorted sound walls are created by good old Casio and Eco-organs. Packed with 60's girl group/soul-melodies, bubble gum punk riffs and pounding drums, which will make youreardrums bleed, this newcomer is truly something to get to know. HYESTJFAVHS? gets it's influences from a rather wide range of genres: all the way from garage rock to doo-wop, rock'n'roll to80's dream pop and 60's soul and girl groups. Full UK Tour dates below.

Not 80s ephemera but there is a 90s cover band in this region that's called White Ford Bronco, and I find it in marginally poor taste (haha, murder, so droll)
