campfire stomp music: dud or dud

It all seems explicitly crafted to appeal to people with beards who drink microbrews and camp.

don't these people listen to stuff like lamb of god though

the stuff (i think) you're talking about sounds like it's for children

did anybody add "It all seems explicitly crafted to appeal to people with beards who drink microbrews and camp." to the effete liberal munching thread?

More of a nose ring, pulled-pork benny crowd I think.

Non-Australians presumably have not had to endure the eternal omnipresence of Vance Joy tho:

He's known abroad, but not an omnipresent scourge.

i don't camp on purpose, i was just born with a lisp

holy fucking lolllll

No way sleeve no way at least that stuff was kinda fun

haha OK, so maybe this is like 3rd wave ska crossed with emo-folk?

vance joy torments us in the US with his ukelele all the time on commercial radio. does he also stomp his foot? I'm sure he does. fucker

There's a show on the ABC here (basically our BBC) all about obscure Australian country towns which uses "Fire and the Flood" as the credits music, and I can't think of a more comprehensive example of "city people romanticizing a myth of rural life".

yeah, vance joy is 100% a part of this on american radio, ime.

Other than Mumford and Sons, I think the UK only weathered minor gales when this was a big thing, and now it's been more-or-less relegated to twee TV adverts and Radio X

Not that we don't have our own monstrosities to deal with...

Ha, I was teaching guitar lessons to teenagers between 2013 and 2015 so developed a higher tolerance for this stuff than most ilxors. (I don't really associate either this kind of music or Lamb of God with microbrew-drinking campers. I mostly associate this music with middle-class teenagers, esp girls. I mostly associate Lamb of God with like music students in less-fashionable cities? And also my drunken neighbours in Windsor.) I will defend "Riptide" and "Hey Ho" as decent classicist pop-rock singles and have a soft spot for "Home" bc Community.

Bon Iver/FJM/My Morning Jacket are the slightly hipper versions of this stuff and would be listened to by your latte-sipping, microbrew, etc

Oh yeah, Bon Iver is for latte sippers.

This stuff needs to fuck off

these songs are IPA jingles

<i>I don't really associate either this kind of music or Lamb of God with microbrew-drinking campers. I mostly associate this music with middle-class teenagers, esp girls.</i>

otm, although s/teenagers/college students for me

it's perfect for festival audiences who might not know the band playing, but who can easily figure out when to telegraph emotion alongside the people around them

aka Hey-Ho music

Ok, lol. I didn't realize that there was actually a song called Hey Ho in this movement.

yeah i have a beard and drink microbrews and go camping and i certainly can't reconcile the phoniness of this stuff with the realness of nature and can't imagine other ppl doing so either. it's more of a suburban thing I'd guess

Yeah, this is suburban backyard barbecue music.

no that's the chronic

how does this thread not have judah and the lion yet?
