Electro-rock. Im not digging this phase at all. Its such a trend

[dancelukedance]

Your thoughts?

[cymche]

I'm assuming a band like the Ting Tings would be "electro-rock"?

[dancelukedance]

but dance gavin dance are not a trend band?

im pretty sure there's a thread on dance gavin dance here, you idiot

[kearn1tm]

but dance gavin dance are not a trend band?

They're for life, duder.

[cymche]

I'm the idiot, but you like Dance Gavin Dance and A Day To Remember.

Interesting... they're oh so br00tal though.

Normally, Ben and I disagree and don't get along, but he's right in this case.

You are "shitting" on people's tastes by saying you think this "electro-rock trend" is dumb, aren't you? In essence, you have a username that plays on a band many would also label as "trendy," so really, this comes across as one giant contradiction.

You also do the same thing by calling football "soft as tissues" (terrible slang phrase), which I assume is because you are a biased rugby fan. So, again, you don't like those who "shit" on others ... yet you do it twice in the same thread.

[TheBaroness]

lolol, what an idiot

[about3fitty]

just listen to innerpartysystem. thats all you need to survive

[hxctyhxc]

y is everyone in here an asshole, excluding luke? y is liking trendy music so horrible first of all? all music, technically is trendy. idk, i think if a band has more than one fan, they are trendy. just becuz theyre fan base is gigantic, doesnt exclude them from being trendy. and y talk shit online, cuz if half of u assholes were talkin shit in person, id drop your bitch ass. and id have lukes back. so fuck off and die.
o and pretty much everyone in here is under 21 years old, what makes you assholes fuckin music geniuses? u dont know shit compared to alot of people.

I'm going to go out on a limb here and say your lack of working brain cells makes you lazy, not the internet.

lol, you're right. theres more mistakes than i thought. XD
but seriously, why, is everyone so negative? i don't know, just seems pointless. you're not going to sway anyones opinions.

Why are people negative? Well, we don't enjoy idiots for one ... and secondly, the guy who started this thread is a contradicting jackass.

the electro rock thing i understand.
just wondering, what makes you smarter than me or luke? i'm sorry, but i don't think your opinion in music boosts your IQ.

[hxctyhxc]

I guess we are not as HXC as you man. See you in the circle pit throwing some spin kicks.
woooooow, that makes sense...

[hxctyhxc]

"I tend not to be negative in my regard for music, since everything grows on me with time."
this seems to contradict everything you've said in this thread so far. just throwin that out there chris.

Yeah I'd feel pretty confident in saying that you are a massive idiot, and not because you are a Yorkie either.

The guy posts a simple thing about a particular music genre and you go ranting on with your bullshit. I wonder if you can answer any thread topic with the following:

Q:Hey what do you think about(insert genre or band here)

A:(You)- Yeah I like (insert band or genre here) because(insert reason you do like said genre or band) OR No I Do Not like (insert band or genre here) because (insert reason you DO NOT like said genre or band)

A personal attack on someone because of the music they like or bands they listen is pretty fucking stupid.

And you know what our pal Forrest Gump used to say....

But don't you think it's a little contradictory to post a thread bashing the 'latest trends', while having a username that follows one of said trends, and then to complain about other people bashing music, when you've just done so?
I mean, I follow what you say about people not getting personal etc, I just don't see how you can justify attacking lunchforthesky and not pointing anything out to this dancelukedance.

True, but what the f is electro? IMO, it's any band that uses synths and loops to a large effect, or something like that. But I am just a fan, not a classifist. Haha, classifist is an awesome word.

Or if you say electro is a band genre...check out Hadouken!

eEWLZxSGvZw

Is classifist a word? i like it never the less.

[decisionpending]

As an English teacher I am going to say that, yes, classifist is a word.

And, while I enjoy the likes of Justice and Boyz Noize (btw who is that in the first vid), I think that Hadouken!, among other bands like Does It Offend You..., suck giant balls! And the best electro comes from Aus, a la.. Presets, Midnight Juggernauts, and even the poptacular Sneaky Sound System.

EDIT: I sound like a douche in this post! Disregard, I suck balls.

First video is The Toxic Avenger - Escape (Bloody Beetroots remix)

Thats odd you dont like Hadouken! or DIOYY?

Riot in Belgium?

[alice+interiors]

Hadouken! suck so, so bad.

[Maxwell]

You suck so bad Matt.

[FayeQC]

Does it offend you yeah are good
would they even be considered electro-rock, i so fail at properly putting bands under genres

Well, DIOY,Y? have that one decent song Dawn of the Dead but apart from that.,........

More 'electro' that comes to mind: Sam Sparro is a pop guy who is surprisingly good, and Cut Copy is alright (in small doses).

Never heard RiB tho, so there's another band to check out... dammit, got, like, 20!

[Maxwell]

Im suprised...RiB are from Australia! Shame on you!

[decisionpending]

Im suprised...RiB are from Australia! Shame on you!

Meh, Architecture in Helsinki and The Grates are also from Oz...

Haduken is horrible! Cut Copy, Midnight Juggernauts, Chromeo, Digitalism, all great examples.

*sits quietly with his stack of industrial cds and stereotypes, knowing that he is superior to electro rock. except for :WUMPSCUT: and Laeather Strip. Jesus people, mention those two sometimes.*

[SamEyes]

No-one's mentioned Enter Shikari yet I don't think, they're a huge example of electro rock.

I liked them when they first popped up but they've been done to death other here, they've become trend leaders instead of a band haha.

[hxctyhxc]

DGD is a waste of your time, really.
kinda depends on what you listen to already. dont listen to this guy, hes 14, probably likes good charlotte or something

Spot on. Keep it up, guy.

[hxctyhxc]

y thank you. :)

[nicgiovanni]

electro-rock/electronic rock isn't a new thing at all.

and what's up with everyone name dropping all these bands that don't even sound a like.

i do understand the annoyance with electronic/dance music that a lot of people (hipsters, if you will) are getting down to nowadays ie justice, crystal castles, etc etc.

i like all these bands sure, but it does get annoying to hear the same synth and beat lines over and over again.

i foresee this craze ending pretty soon.

but you'll always have dance music, esp. of the electronic kind.

anyone remember....


ELECTROCLASH.

hahahahahahahaha.

[hxctyhxc]

yeah, dancegavindance is kinda losin it. they have a song on their myspace with chino from deftones. dont get me wrong, i like some deftones, but he kinda kills the song.


i forsee someone quoting me saying "DGD kill their own music"

[Ouch]

Your thoughts?

kill yourself.

[hxctyhxc]

kill yourself.
same thing to you douchebag

[SamEyes]

WHY DOES EVERYONE KEEP MENTIONING DANCE GAVIN DANCE.

How are they AT ALL electro rock?!?!

By you saying "they have a song on their myspace", would I be correct in assuming you have not heard the album?

Or have you heard Downtown Battle Mountain?

And I don't think for one minute he kills that song, he adds so much to the chorus.

[hxctyhxc]

lol!
i dont think DGD is electrorock at all, but they got brought up....and not dropped

you're right. i havent heard the entire album, but the song i heard with chino moreno from deftones was shitty. just my opinion. i have heard all of downtown battle mountain, one of my favorite albums ever actually, well, if im in the right mood i guess.

Fair play, I personally really like it, although I can see DGD fans hating the new one because it is different, very different in places.

Have you heard Uneasy Hearts Weigh The Most?

I am really not feeling this recent crop of Australian dance/pop acts ala Presets,Cut Copy,Sneaky Sound System.

[EchoPark]

Also for the record, I personally do not like Dance Gavin Dance at all. But I am not going to hate on someone because they do. I can also think of worse bands to listen to

[decisionpending]

I am really not feeling this recent crop of Australian dance/pop acts ala Presets,Cut Copy,Sneaky Sound System.

I have found that it is extremely polarising. But I really do think that The Presets' album Apocalypso is an awesome genre-crosser. It is entrenched in clubs but has so many other elements, like rock, ambiance, and pure pop.

Oh, and Klaxons... do they count as 'electro-rock'?

I have never heard of Klaxons, may have to check them out and give you my opinion.

[decisionpending]

Klaxons sorta was at the forefront of the 'new-rave' scene. This sounds bad, but Myths of the Near Future is comparable to, say, Tell All Your Friends as a scene-maker album.

Metro Station will be around for a long time. get used to it, haters

[Matthew Tsai]

Jenny Lewis from Rilo Kiley. She has a new solo record out, which is awesome.

ah, should've known

[Until The Bombs]

Haha. That is awesome. So maybe the most useless sub-genre, in terms of being descriptive of it's acts, of all time.

[hxctyhxc]

so hellogoodbye is electrorock?
metro station is ok, but only tolerable in small amounts.
