Microhouse doesn't sing too good (except Vocalcity), so I go to doo-wop for that.

Smooth chilled downtempo doesn't aggravate enough, ergo drone rock.

No wave isn't too good at melody, hence popular ballads of the pre-sound-recording era.

i'm sitting here, thinking out loud saying "what is dronerock not good at?" and contemplating "melody... so i go for my 60s bubblegum" when Suzy pipes up with "HYGIENE!!!!"

sigh. i can't win.

Shoegazer music sounds terrible on cheap speakers.
Goth has no sense of humor.
Celtic Music haven't done anything new or interesting with their cheap synths.

SST punk is not good at dressing well or looking attractive

hey! i used to love listening to shoegazer on cheap tinny car stereo speakers...

something else dronerock is not particularly good at, is stage presence/live charisma/entertaining live shoes. this is something that upsets me greatly. i mean, can't they DRESS UP a bit, and have dancers in cages and shit? oh wait, then i'd be seeing hawkwind. never mind.

dronerock bands that provide movies and projections for the audience to watch because they are aware of how boring they are to watch = CLASSIC!!!

Listen to it through headphones. It sounds much better. Trust me.

?!? Hie thee hence to Alien Sex Fiend. Besides which, most of the bands were unintentionally funny at the least. ;-)

Music doesn't leave a big enough trail of ruined lives, so I've gotten into pimping 10-yr-olds

Hie thee hence to Alien Sex Fiend.
Yeah, they're the Exception to the the Rule. But for every Alien Sex Fiend, there are 10 joyless bands with a latin name and bad poetry for lyrics. And even the other "funny" Goth bands are mostly funny by accident. I'm thinking specifically of The Swans here, but I'm sure there are others.
I love them all, but daaaammmmn are they dreary.

The Swans are supposed to be over the top bleak! That's the point! Gira's a hilarious character...

Glam rock isn't very good at being sexy in a brawny, macho, early Burt Reynolds/Robert Conrad sort of way.

― Arthur (Arthur), Monday, 2 December 2002 17:53 (twenty-one years ago) link

"can't they DRESS UP a bit"
No, it's all about the music. They want you to feel the music. Get rid of all those distractions (except lights, they enhance it.)

Dronerock performers are bad at being sociable after a performance.

― A Nairn (moretap), Monday, 2 December 2002 18:11 (twenty-one years ago) link

Swans are goth? I don't think so. That's like saying the Birthday Party was goth -- another, I don't think so.

― jack cole (jackcole), Monday, 2 December 2002 19:01 (twenty-one years ago) link

this is why i always went out with mod/garage boys. oh, that and the white boots.

yes, dronerock on headphones = best of all. speaking of which, where is my walkman, suzy?

They may never have called themselves goth, but you'd best believe the goths were listening in. ;-)

"Music" tends to have bad "lyrics", so I "read" a lot.

Electronic music doesn't get me any chicks.

Cock rock doesn't get you a degree, hence the modern composition.

Bah. He's as funny as a colonoscopy.
