youre acting like there's some objective truth to your dislike of this music but this is actually a recording artist, not literal dogshit

i dont gaf if a bunch of out of touch 30+ year old men think this sucks, im not going to argue w/ your subjective experience of the music, but if you're going to misdescribe it or try & say the banana is made of dogshit, im going to point out that its actually not

i actually don't mind lil peep too much really, but it seems like really in the vein of a lot of stuff now like spooky black and alan kingdom and all that other shit i dunno what makes this so different

i played trumpet for idk 12 years, ~3-4 years seriously in HS-> college before realizing i didn't want to be a music major. i still have my trumpet. studied classical & jazz, did a couple summer programs for jazz around that time. played in a jazz combo for a bit in high school out of a real book, haa. Jazz was big at my H.S.—one of the guys who graduated when I was a freshman was asked to join lincoln ctr jazz orchestra by wynton iirc, and a guy i graduated with still plays trumpet & works as a musician in LA, you can hear him on trumpet on this terrace martin live performance of kendrick's "for free" https://soundcloud.com/terrace-martin-music/terrace-martin-friends-for-free-live-at-del-monte-speakeasy
i was interested mainly in improvisation & did a lot of trying to transcribe solos. i can also circular breathe, lol
― Listen to my homeboy Fantano (D-40), Monday, 7 November 2016 18:03 (seven years ago) link
cool you should start to play again! terrance martin thing is really good
i'm pretty sure i'm the first person to have thought of this but maybe you could combine ~~~jazz & hip hop~~~ think about the possibilities

I'll jump on the pro-Peep pigpile and agree with D-40. There's something there. I love the track White Wine with Lil Tracy. My wife and the few friends I've shared it with are like, NO. This is Warped Tour burnout, I sell Oxy and chug magnums of Yellowtail at the gas station shit. He's going to be bigger than Spooky Black and Yung Lean.
― Yelploaf, Monday, 7 November 2016 18:41 (seven years ago) link
he's probably already bigger than yung lean and spooky black
― J0rdan S., Monday, 7 November 2016 18:44 (seven years ago) link
at least going by streaming numbers considering pretty much no mainstream press has picked up on him yet
yes, im just saying its not like i expect the majority of my demographic cohort to love it, just those with exceptional[ly contrarian] taste

How is it contrarian to make a thread about a new artist I like before anyone on ilx has even weighed in

Because he's not very good?
― human and working on getting beer (longneck), Monday, 7 November 2016 21:36 (seven years ago) link
I wouldn't necessarily say "contrarian", probably more "weirdly optimistic in the face of an overwhelming historical trend re: how ppl here react to acts like this"

"Acts like this"...the point I made in the opening post was that this was an example of an artist like years & years where it sounds bad on paper but is actually good, which has recently had a pattern of positive responses on this board actually. For some reason I can't understand the first responders on any thread I make about music are ppl like joan shakey forks et all who I share little in common w musically at least as far as new music
― Listen to my homeboy Fantano (D-40), Monday, 7 November 2016 22:15 (seven years ago) link
Oh. I'd argue that Years & Years isn't really that good either, rendering the thesis null and void but eh, pvmic etc
― ¶ (DJP), Monday, 7 November 2016 22:19 (seven years ago) link
(I also think the specific type of artist you were thinking of would come to other people's minds more readily if you, you know, named them when you made allusions to them.)

he's making the underlying pop melodic associations we have with pop punk
if pop punk you mean the mall punk whatever smashmouth type stuff then yes, that is very present here. Unfortunately for me.

yung lean's most recent videos have like 1-2 million views, peep isn't quite there yet but also has no press or record label

yung lean is completely forgotten in the us except as a meme maybe. im sure that currently, peep has a good claim on being more popular
