People are saying Punk/Disco/Electroclash/post-punk is now or dead.

What albums are the hipsters going to be listening to next?

Someone said ironic grunge- please define sounds interesting. lol

In all seriousness

disco c86

― the surface noise (electricsound), Monday, 22 September 2003 04:11 (twenty-two years ago)

don't think for a second i'm kidding

― the surface noise (electricsound), Monday, 22 September 2003 04:12 (twenty-two years ago)

Disco c86
what albums or songs?

― hh, Monday, 22 September 2003 04:16 (twenty-two years ago)

that'd be australian disco c.86 though, right?

― gaz (gaz), Monday, 22 September 2003 04:16 (twenty-two years ago)

(of course. a scene with only one band in it)

i don't think it's happened yet but i think that it will

― the surface noise (electricsound), Monday, 22 September 2003 04:17 (twenty-two years ago)

as bands try to copy the rapture et al in a shambolic vaguely tuneful/less sort of way

― the surface noise (electricsound), Monday, 22 September 2003 04:18 (twenty-two years ago)

oh, that's well under way.

― gabbo giftington (dubplatestyle), Monday, 22 September 2003 04:21 (twenty-two years ago)

woo hoo!!

― the surface noise (electricsound), Monday, 22 September 2003 04:22 (twenty-two years ago)

I say hair metal 84 but without all the flam.

― jazz, Monday, 22 September 2003 04:24 (twenty-two years ago)

jim, right now, i guarantee you, somewhere in olympia a band is practicing playing one-finger keyboard and stiffly regimented "disco" drumming. badly.

― gabbo giftington (dubplatestyle), Monday, 22 September 2003 04:28 (twenty-two years ago)

dancehall reggae

apparently, it's already happening in parts of chicago

― Kingfish (Kingfish), Monday, 22 September 2003 04:28 (twenty-two years ago)

― prima fassy (bob), Monday, 22 September 2003 05:36 (twenty-two years ago)

The problem with all this music is that the emphasis is on being 'rocking' and being 'minimal' at the same time. Gang of Four is nice and all but these New York punk-dance groups are so late '70s. We need to speed up the nostalgia gravy train until we get back on track in the early 80s. Genres to consider:

1) Nu-Romantic (big, lush, dancey arrangements like Pet Shop Boys or later Human League)
2) Goth (this will be back BIG, trust me. and not as a tack-on image for horrid bands like Evanescence. and probably with a punk slant.)
3) Jangle Rock/College Rock (druggie, jangley Paisley revival music, giving way to more poppy early REM)
4) Neo-shoegazer (obvious, this one, although how long it will take for one of these bands to form and later sink in to mass culture is unclear)

It's odd that the electroclash thing failed to get as big as it thought it would, i was actually looking forward to bands ripping of Gary Numan left and right. Maybe videogame-influenced music will blow up?

― M Matos (M Matos), Monday, 22 September 2003 05:51 (twenty-two years ago)

Fischerspooner are trying to bring back grunge.

On my definition of hipster, the next big hipster scene is Neue Horspiel. But it is quite a narrow definition, probably just including myself.

2) Goth (this will be back BIG, trust me. and not as a tack-on image for horrid bands like Evanescence. and probably with a punk slant.)

isn't this kind of happening already? glass candy, the vanishing/subtonix, etc?

― M Matos (M Matos), Monday, 22 September 2003 07:29 (twenty-two years ago)

Oh for a hi-NRG revival!

― Tom (Groke), Monday, 22 September 2003 07:33 (twenty-two years ago)

It's only a matter of time for hi-NRG. Most people I know who play hipster london loft parties will drop in a bit of patrick cowley...

― Keith McD (Keith McD), Monday, 22 September 2003 07:47 (twenty-two years ago)

Also: Latin Freestyle. A revival waiting to happen, particularly in London due to huge obscurity factor and necessity of ordering records from abroad.

nitzer ebb, front 242?

― Ronan (Ronan), Monday, 22 September 2003 07:57 (twenty-two years ago)

the lesser mined arty/punky bands from the west coast in the late 70s/early 80s in place of the overplayed new york/london axis

detroit techno

and early industrial for sure!

― geeta, Monday, 22 September 2003 08:03 (twenty-two years ago)

Definitely. Actually, join in the chant is a regular fixture at the same kind of places that play Menergy and also Jack to the Sound of the Underground.

― Jacob (Jacob), Monday, 22 September 2003 08:09 (twenty-two years ago)

Not sure about detroit techno Geeta, surely too serious for hipsters, is there any potential for humour with records like UR-X173722716KJJGJGD-Poseidon's Fishcake.

― Ronan (Ronan), Monday, 22 September 2003 08:26 (twenty-two years ago)

nothing is too boring for hipsters ronan!

check out this club nite flyer that just got sent to me -- i think it explains all:

-----

THIS THURSDAY! 9:30pm, cover $5 (cheap cheap cheap)

GOOD DANCE MUSIC (late 70s-early 90s), Detroit Techno (Cybotron, Carl
Craig), Italo-Disco (Alexander Robotnick, La Bionda), 80s New Wave House (B
Beat Girls, Mantronix), Industrial (Nitzer Ebb, Front 242), German New Wave
(DAF, Pyrolator), Postpunk (Delta 5, Contortions, Talking Heads), 99
Records-style PostPunk (Liquid Liquid, ESG), and old time dance favorites
like Vanity 6, Lisa Lisa, Janet, Bobby Brown, MJ, etc

------

hahahaha!!

― geeta, Monday, 22 September 2003 09:14 (twenty-two years ago)

Italo-disco obviously. Though I'm all for video game music-if Cornelius' '2010' blew up, I'm not sure who'd be more ecstatic-Adam or me.

― Barima (Barima), Monday, 22 September 2003 09:25 (twenty-two years ago)

Heh if there is a demand I will play a special Popular set early doors at the next FT Club Night!

― Tom (Groke), Monday, 22 September 2003 09:31 (twenty-two years ago)

As time between initial impact and revival reduces almost exponentially (in inverse?), I reckon it's time for the post-Britpop revival. Lots of big emotive indie songs with big strings and rousing choruses!

― Nick Southall (Nick Southall), Monday, 22 September 2003 09:38 (twenty-two years ago)

i dunno the kids are getting into SCREAMCORE in a big way and the shows are good mental fun...

― st tremaine, Monday, 22 September 2003 09:39 (twenty-two years ago)

Geeta, the MJ stands for what? MJ Cole? heh.

I am betting on an anti-bling bling genre.

― nathalie (nathalie), Monday, 22 September 2003 09:39 (twenty-two years ago)

'Cameltoe' and 'Ghetto Musik' seem to be pointing towards something too, not sure what yet...

did we ever have disco folk?

Geeta, that flyer sounds great! Scratch the post-punk and it'd be amazing...

― Jacob (Jacob), Monday, 22 September 2003 09:55 (twenty-two years ago)

I'm seconding the Hi-NRG/Italo-Disco thing and shall be putting my oar in quite soon. I'd like if the whole Northern Electro movement kicked off (Hiem, Performance, KHLA, Roger, Bynatone, etc) because it's very very nice, but has it missed the boat?

Oh and of course, SPACK will rip up the world like nothing you ever seen since late 80s novelty b-boy hip hop popshit blew up.

― Afffectian, Monday, 22 September 2003 10:27 (twenty-two years ago)

― C Vacuum, Monday, 22 September 2003 12:14 (twenty-two years ago)

acid house is already happening, but it's more of a perpetual burn surely.

― Ronan (Ronan), Monday, 22 September 2003 12:27 (twenty-two years ago)

I did History at uni with the taller Joe from Performance (he had this amusing habit of graf-scrawling their logo on random bits of paper and the occasional wall, a pretty nice, slightly overachieving (heh heh) dude all round), but I have no idea what they sound like. They any good, 'Mr Tian'?

― Barima (Barima), Monday, 22 September 2003 12:38 (twenty-two years ago)

Detroit booty bass.

Stock, Aiken & Waterman.

I would welcome both of these.

― Nick H, Monday, 22 September 2003 13:30 (twenty-two years ago)

But electroclash already touched on hi-NRG and Italo disco. These revivals already had the chance to blow up, but people seem more interested in guitars as dance-music validation.

That said, I'm keeping my fingers crossed for early Chicago house's return, with a dash of hip-house. S/A/W-esque shit would be great, too, but I don't see it coming back (at least in the States).

― Rich, Monday, 22 September 2003 13:41 (twenty-two years ago)

I'm calling my shot: Hip-house!

― tylero, Monday, 22 September 2003 15:42 (twenty-two years ago)

Heavy Garage PolkaHop.

― peepee (peepee), Monday, 22 September 2003 15:44 (twenty-two years ago)

Guys singing with Joe Everyguy voices. Big crazy hair. Twangy guitars. Almost entirely funkless. More throwback-y analog electronics than you can shake a stick at. Vaguely shuffle-like beats. "A return to fun". Lots of citing Miles Davis as an influence by people who've only heard Kind of Blue twice and weren't paying attention when it was on anyway. Lots of emphasis on clothes.

― gabbneb (gabbneb), Monday, 22 September 2003 18:11 (twenty-two years ago)

People wanting to hear revival Hi-NRG should really get their hands on Ural 13 Diktators (esp "Chernobyl Reaction"). But that didn't catch on in 2000, so much as I would like it to, I can't see why it would catch on now...

The whole Italo-thing is surely past any hipster credibility, no? For a good laugh, listen to the Master Blaster "We Love Italo Disco" CD, which features a dozen italo classics ("How Old Are You?"! "Hypnotic Tango"!) done Scooter-stylee.

Any return of that hip-house "woo! yeah!" sample can only be ironic. Something that is really catching on now but will also not be hipster approved (too populist) is the emergence of full-on big room electro breaks (Tomcraft/Moguai/etc). I can also hear some '91-style Belgian techno (Frank de Wulf et al) again in some current songs, but that's also way too populist for hipster cred.

Another stab in the dark: '93-style ambient (Orbital/Biosphere/The Orb)?

I really hope that the various hints at "shoegazer metal" will finally sublimate into a fully fledged movement but the chances are slim until the retro virus goes away.

― Siegbran (eofor), Monday, 22 September 2003 18:20 (twenty-two years ago)

So I'll sum up the thread here:

It's going to be some half-ironic retro thing.

― Horace Mann (Horace Mann), Monday, 22 September 2003 18:46 (twenty-two years ago)

God, I hope barbershop! Those boaters hats would be the best eve!!!!!

Also, I'm not saying its happening, but I can give you one tangible bit of evidence to support the neo-barbershop (post-barbershop? barbercore? alternatvie-rockapella?) revival:

In the highly praised (and IMO very, very good) debut EP from the New York scene post-rock-laptop-soul-whatever trio TV On the Radio, they do a complex, acappella version of "Mr. Grieves" by the Pixies.....

I think barbershop would be the coolest ever and whoever (whomever?) said that you are a genius!!!!!! Let's all make it happen.....go form a quartet now....DYI....each one, teach one

― Matt Helgeson (Matt Helgeson), Monday, 22 September 2003 19:05 (twenty-two years ago)

well, my guess is, electroclash and dance-punk are currently laying the groundwork for the next big thing (much like 80's underground rock did for early 90's chart rock) whichll be a nu-romantic/gothic/neo-shoegazer/hip-hop hybrid thatll be huge on the college circuit and will probably break into the top 40 right around the time the major labels and clear channel officially collapse.
well, we can dream, can't we?

― Felcher (Felcher), Monday, 22 September 2003 19:11 (twenty-two years ago)

please god no shoegazer revival!! i have no idea how that could be anything except horrible

though 'shoegaze-metal' sounds intriguing siegbran!

― geeta, Monday, 22 September 2003 20:07 (twenty-two years ago)

shogazer revival is almost over, get out of the sticks dude.

― Horace Mann (Horace Mann), Monday, 22 September 2003 20:09 (twenty-two years ago)

I'd say it's noise. 2003: The Year Noise Broke. There seems to be an awful lot of bands working the no wave/broken electronics/silly costumes angle. Hair Police No Doctors Wolf Eyes Mammal Viki Neon Hunk Total Shutdown etc etc etc.

― Jeff Sumner (Jeff Sumner), Monday, 22 September 2003 20:28 (twenty-two years ago)

And that's okay with me. I like the whole DIY aspect of that scene, and the shows can be quite fun.

Is it a revival if it hasn't made it to "the sticks" yet?

― miloauckerman (miloauckerman), Monday, 22 September 2003 20:53 (twenty-two years ago)

Shoegazing is a human archetype, like goth, and that's why it never quite goes out of fashion. Shoegazer metal is a very interesting concept because it seems to run against the archetype. Is Emo a form of proto-shoegazer metal? Emo should actually be a character in Sesame Street.

― colin s barrow (colin s barrow), Monday, 22 September 2003 20:53 (twenty-two years ago)

I just want to see a lot more records made with a cheap sampler by reclusive bedroom weirdos who are into Flowers Of Romance by PIL just a little too much.

― Mike Taylor (mjt), Monday, 22 September 2003 20:55 (twenty-two years ago)

Shoegazer metal is a very interesting concept because it seems to run against the archetype.

It's around, Siegbran has mentioned Katatonia -- and actually the new A Perfect Circle is halfway there.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Monday, 22 September 2003 20:58 (twenty-two years ago)

It's going to be some half-ironic retro thing

so whatever it is you still won't have a fucking clue what's going on?

I wish it was a french house revival but sadly not going to happen. not that the tunes aren't there.

― Ronan (Ronan), Monday, 22 September 2003 21:01 (twenty-two years ago)

I heard a The Rapture on the radio a few days ago and was convinced it was a PIL track I'd never heard.

Maybe then, Ned, shoegazer metal is only superficially a contradiction - after all, there are two ways of dealing with shyness - succumb or overcompensate - so why not combine them?

― colin s barrow (colin s barrow), Monday, 22 September 2003 21:01 (twenty-two years ago)

If you think as the secret founder of it all being the Cure, trust me, it makes sense.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Monday, 22 September 2003 21:03 (twenty-two years ago)

Did Simon Reynold's talk of a first wave industrial revival ever spark anything?

― Mike Taylor (mjt), Monday, 22 September 2003 21:06 (twenty-two years ago)

does talking about something make it happen?

― JasonD (JasonD), Monday, 22 September 2003 21:15 (twenty-two years ago)

(not directed at you Mike, just in general to this thread)

― JasonD (JasonD), Monday, 22 September 2003 21:16 (twenty-two years ago)

I think talking does make things happen. If for no other reason that it gives people a cultural context, and even if that context doesn't exist in reality, it still gives creatives some kind of community and direction. I think we sometimes don't give the need for community as much credit as it deserves.

― Mike Taylor (mjt), Monday, 22 September 2003 21:28 (twenty-two years ago)

also, sometimes giving people the idea that something exists is better than actually presenting reality. I think people still need to be excited about music, and a fantasy of something is always more alluring than the actual situation.

― Mike Taylor (mjt), Monday, 22 September 2003 21:31 (twenty-two years ago)

I coined it "shoegazer metal" not because it was a proper movement at any time, but more as some sort of technical umbrella term for a handful of rather different 90s underground metal bands that played melancholic and introvert drones, but were still obviously descending from the metal tradition/subculture. But all the bands that at one time or another hinted in that direction (Burzum, Katatonia, Abysmal, The 3rd & The Mortal, Countess - maybe even Ildjarn/Sort Vokter if you stretch it) either quit or went on in different directions. If there's to be any coherent revival it'd have to come from new bands, so it seems (and NO FUCKING GOTHS PLEASE!!).

― Siegbran (eofor), Monday, 22 September 2003 21:33 (twenty-two years ago)

so you think that Simon Reynolds writing an article about an industrial revival is gonna actually start something? some kid reading it is thinking, "shit, you're right. there isn't this happening. i'm gonna fill that void".

i think what's gonna spark any sort of revival is a hip label reissuing something that was pretty unknown. when did all this post-punk revival shit start happening. right after the ESG, Disco Not Disco, A Certain Ratio albums started getting put out. When did the afro funk bands (daktaris, antibalas) start up? after all the fela reissues.

― JasonD (JasonD), Monday, 22 September 2003 21:37 (twenty-two years ago)

Good point, though the two--writing about vs. reissues--can be intertwined and combined to have greater effect.

― oops (Oops), Monday, 22 September 2003 21:45 (twenty-two years ago)

Re: i think what's gonna spark any sort of revival is a hip label reissuing something that was pretty unknown

what for the legendary French: Metal Urbain - re-releases coming on Carpark/ Acute ! MASSIVE ! prog-punk-post-industrial

― DJ Martian (djmartian), Monday, 22 September 2003 21:49 (twenty-two years ago)

Um... the Daktaris and Antibalas are basically the same people!

― Douglas (Douglas), Monday, 22 September 2003 21:53 (twenty-two years ago)

It is a chicken or the egg situation. I think writers and hipsters stimulated the demand for those post-punk reissue comps long before they were available.

I think what happens is a lot of people get curious about records and then people start going nuts because you can finally get those ESG tracks on a master-quality CD reissue, rather than on a $50 used LP, a $26 import bootleg CD, or on a C90 which your buddy hooked you up with. It wasn't like nobody knew what post-punk was in the 90's, it just wasn't cheap and well-promoted by a reissue label with a commerical agenda.

― Mike Taylor (mjt), Monday, 22 September 2003 21:54 (twenty-two years ago)

I think post-punk mixed with cheesy europop, a la Junior Senior SHOULD be the next big thing, cuz you can, y'know, DANCE to it!

how is junior senior even remotely post-punk? i love junior senior, but they sure ain't post-punk. ha unless you mean it's 'post-punk' in the sense that it occurred after punk: that would make the dave matthews band post-punk also

dancehall reggae

...has neither waned or waxed in popularity since I started listening to music.

Shoegaze may have already been "revived" in the minds of the many but it never died in the souls of the few. Whoever said it was like Goth, in that it's a mental state as opposed to a fad, is spot-on.

I'm thinking of starting a shoegaze/glitch/90s ambient/60s pop/lori & the chameleons to ulrich schnaus nite in Bethnal Green, would anyone come?

The shoegazer-revival is already around in a number of formats -

i.e. Sigor Ros, Mum, Morr Music Slowdive comp. (esp. the Guitar track on the second disc as MBV), Fennesz Endless Summer, Manitoba, Clue to Kalo...

Basically, glitchy 'folktronic' meeting halfway with postrock offshoots...

― Michael Dieter, Tuesday, 23 September 2003 00:47 (twenty-two years ago)

It occurs to me that hipster grunge could NOT HAPPEN unless they find a way to make it VERY distinct from popgrungelite ie Creed Puddle of Mudd etc... Though it probably wasn't a serious idea to begin with

― Sonny A. (Keiko), Tuesday, 23 September 2003 00:51 (twenty-two years ago)

i was the one who said this in the other thread. i mean it whole heartedly. but it's not ready to happen yet. it's gonna take another 10-20 years. that just seems to be the cycle of things to get rehashed. seriously, how many of us could listen to anything made in the 80s with a straight face before a few years ago? (maybe the people who were in their late teens early 20s for whom this music had a personal connection). and then all of a sudden, we're far enough away from it to actually take what happened seriously and reinterpret it.

we're still too close to the 90s to appreciate them. the reason bands like Creed and Puddle of Mudd are looked down upon so hard is because (besides just outright sucking) they're playing music that seems so L.Y. They just don't seem with the times. if they had come around when Pearl Jam and co. were still hot, maybe they wouldn't have been so hated (well, maybe they'd still suck).

what about in the early to mid 90s - i remember when bellbottoms were big again. there was the whole 70s disco revival. hmmmm. that's about 20 years after the original happened.

so give it a few years and all the hipsters will be wearing plaid and ripped jeans

― JasonD (JasonD), Tuesday, 23 September 2003 01:11 (twenty-two years ago)

Barima, Performance are cute enuff coked-up wirey HOTTIES. Neat synthpop but they're far from being the best Northern Electro act (Hiem or Roger or ULTRASPACK or WHAT WHAT are that). Still, megabuzz about them round Manchester and I can imagine the NME loving them lots for 9 months then shitting all over them like a cruel mummy.

Haven't spoke to the members of Perf yet but there's a whole load of resentment aimed their way from my peers (due to impolite dancing on their part!)

― Afffectian (Ian SPACK), Tuesday, 23 September 2003 07:58 (twenty-two years ago)

I can see that having enthusiasm for old records or writing in/talking abt old records might get them reissued but the idea of a revival of anything is pretty awful.
