Publication End Of The Year Lists 2016 • Page 10

but at the same time, someone who's interested in this genre as a whole from a musical perspective won't have many female singers because so few female bands go into that style. now that's a separate issue having to do with women not being drawn to the scene, which is why any female representation is super important to draw more women into playing instruments and joining bands

 

Potential solution: Listen to more than one genre. Lol

 

there is more than one genre. Do you think foxing, pinegrove, jeff rosenstock, and the hotelier are similar sonically?

 

the only one of these whose recent album doesnt fit into a pretty loose box is rosenstock

 

note: I'm all for diversity but let's look at it at this point to people who are mostly into music feeding off of emo/indie/punk. Not everyone is so actively looking to listen to music that is so totally different.

 

These lists need more angel dust

 

None of them really sound the same at all

 

ian cohen is a professional music critic

 

it's only that way because the bands are associated together. if any random person who has no knowledge of the scene or genre listened to those bands there would be very little they have to relate them

 

Well duh but the problem isn't only confined to one genre

 

Needed a good laugh today. Thanks Ian.

 

they all have a similar pastoral vibe rooted in many of the same influences imo

 

it's a loose box.... loose.

 

They all have guitars and drums!

 

i know what youre about to do and i ask that you dont do it

 

well this is not what i said at all

 

Same influences doesn't mean they sound the same

 

I'm being a butthole!~

 

drake, 21 savage, tribe, kanye all sound nothing alike and yet are all part of the same genre. fucking crazy!!! who would be dumb enough to group them together??

 

I honestly have no follow up to that post.

Edit: I actually agree with you.

 

Well that's not what anyone said at all

 

So is he

 

Wonder if he knows that Somos record came out over two years ago

 

its the same exact argument lol

 

No it's not Casey even said yeah they're associated with each other but that doesn't mean they sound the same
