carl, you shouldn't be so surprised.

and thumbnail-- weren't they exsistent in the 90's only?

Post-Hardcore

Wtf.

I'd like to see somebody coin a term for music that's "Pre-" something-or-other, such as:

Pre-Madonna
Pre-Prekop
Pre-Tentious
Pre-Postal Service
Pre-Fixed
Pre-Candyass

All of these suggestions are terrible, but none is as bad as "post-rock".

Trends!

They're amazing!

I've been thinking about this lately too. So, you're saying that based on the trend that we now are reviving the 80's and soon, in a logical timely progression, we will revive the 90's style of music. you quoted....

80's are obviously getting old now

Really? I disagree. I work security for an extremely large and popular "Hipster" party in Wicker Park Chicago, the most densely populated hipster area in the city. Walking 5 minutes through the neighborhood will tell you that people are not tired of the 80's in that particular scene at all.

With that said, I still follow your train of thought though. Will Shellac/Jesus Lizard style become popular............ but it already is now! People label it Math Rock, and at least here in Chicago, its very pervasive and common. The formula seems to be"I need a travis bean"(I like them I'm just saying)"We need to pause a lot in the songs." With the mind set of Shellac style music I'd say to continue in their footsteps, a new do it yourself experimental style should evolve.

What about Noise/violence/ no wave style music like the flying luttenbachers/locust/kk rampage/lightning bolt/arab on radar? Thats becomming increasingly popular in the rock scene. Essentially I think the future will result in even more styles of rock, at one time, than we've ever seen before. Just like society and the current consolidation trend of things like race, I think music will reflect that attitude and continue to mix with other styles more often. I mean who thought hiphop and a form of metal would clash? ::Cough:: Limp Bizkit(SP?) ::cough::

Pre-Prekop is pretty good.

you can hardly call wicker park hipster central anymore. it just ain't. so whatever people you're talking about are certainly on the later end of the fashion (and music) trends.

"and thumbnail-- weren't they exsistent in the 90's only?"

as far as i know they're still making music.

cursedby11:

i totally understand where you're coming from but this whole post-punk thing, in particular joy divsion influenced bands, even though i like it, is definitely getting old and you can tell from reading reviews that more and more "critics" are tired by it and less and less 80's revival bands are being formed.

i mean there is definitely a pattern here with the revival bands. 60's, 70's and 80's happened in that order so i can only see 90's being the next trend. and like each revival stage there will be one independent band, from that era, that gets more recognition than any other. it was joy division for the 80's and it would be logical for a band like jesus lizard or shellac to have the same influence on a whole new breed.

i'm sure there are a lot of "post-hardcore/post-punk/noise" bands in chicago right now and it's always been like that there but when will it spread out? i'm thinking sooner than later.

"Essentially I think the future will result in even more styles of rock, at one time, than we've ever seen before."

it's possible but i'm not sure how likely that's around the corner. i mean on the underground it'll happen for sure, hopefully, but on a whole the mainstream will not deal with that. of course who cares about the mainstream but the point of this topic is what will be the next trend. i mean interpol is influenced by a great band that was never really popular back then for a number of reasons very obvious. however interpol took the same formula and made it more appealing to a broader audience. i like joy division better but i'm not the broader audience. so what i'm saying is "if" the 90's undeground revival happens, it'll take that influence and probably also make it more appealing.

kind of scary actually. i don't want any of this to be more appealing.

Fuck revivalism... just make/listen to music you enjoy.
