UK festivals are dying
WTF is this SHITE
Who in 2024 is paying top brass to see fucking James and "The Reytons"
UK festivals are dying
James are great and one of the most underrated britpop bands
The rest sucks though
We want the over 40's market
UK
dying
sounds about right
Stereophonics headliner
The Lathums and The fucking Reytons second billing
grim
The Reytons
Fuck you we're great
dizzee rascal that fucking low
bluetones and starsailor still on the graft
sigrid out of nowhere
all those interchangeable neo-landfill toffs
oh dear
where's oasis
Uk rock's saving grace.
shaggin ur mum
I remember the guy from the Bluetones had some abuse allegations by his ex wife a few years ago but I guess nothing came out of them
Knebworth
only £750 a ticket
go suck a fuck
£750 a ticket
You're joking right?
James are shite but still better than Oasis
I know james for that one song, I know the stereophonics by name only, and ocean colour scene for having that one song in lock stock and two smoking barrels that made me think their other songs might be good but they weren't.
fuck England and everyone in it
I hope you have a BAD weekend
I heard Green Man was supposed to be decent this year.
It's a festival for people that couldn't get a ticket for any Oasis show but still want to do coke in a field whilst listening to middling indie
Culture is dead mate
Spain sems to be doing OK
Lmao that crap is barely better than the OP
You know poptimism has gone too far when Primavera - the hip, cool, alternative music festival - is being headlined by a Disney Channel actress and the world's most annoying theatre kid.
Neighborhood weekender, how long has that even been a thing? Stuff like Glasto, Reading & Leeds, Isle of Wight are where it's at.
James is a Portuguese band in all but name now
Worth it to listen to Pure Phase in its entiretly
The Wombats
lmao
dizzee rascal
jesus, its a terrible lineup but who on earth thought he would add something to it?
Amelie lens
Just a trend, an overrated shit producer and mediocre dj. Same goes for simmilar shit like dj python, black Madonna, Nina Kravitz, Boris brecha and simmilar shit techno landfill
Hah thats a joke. The Wombats suck shit.
Ocean Colour Scene are trash
Dizee Rascal and Stereophonics were cool in 2004 but not anymore
James are ok but old af
Someone needs to explain why the music in the UK is the way it is.
no more venues
people have no money to go out
No one is being creative and making anything new
Anything half decent gets elevated way beyond its station before its had time to grow and actually become something relevant before it dies out and is forgotten
throw away society
Social media
People filming gigs
Less independent labels
tiny cartel of commercial radio stations
Soho becoming gentrified
ticketmaster
All these tiny things add up, its also not a unique uk problem.
The only solution is to destroy smart phones/social media, make booze cheaper and less licensing restrictions for venues. Then you can try to combat the actual industry
That's just to get the zoomer audience. The rest is peak millenial P4K core:
Caribou
Jamie XX
Beach House
TV on the Radio
The Jesus Lizard
Stereolab
Salem
LCD Soundsystem
Cap'n Jazz
Destroyer
brit
only heard of the Stereophonics and Dizzee Rascal and Starsalior
Who the fuck are The Reytons? Why do they sound like an even shittier Artic Monkeys?
Every Inhaler song sounds the same. Half of these bands sound like the kind of thing that would be included in an early 2010s FIFA soundtrack out of pity.
JAMES
cap'n jazz & destroyer that hidden
wtf? i very nearly missed that
How the fuck did Sabrina become an indie darling all the sudden
the desperation to find women who can hit the play button on a cdj has hit the bottom. at least nina was hot, now the hilarity of watching 'feminist djs' shake their tits whilst claiming they're under-represented is wearing thin
really good summary..
this point
>Anything half decent gets elevated way beyond its station before its had time to grow and actually become something relevant before it dies out and is forgotten
is so under-recognised. i'd combine it with the fact that the moment anything minisculely different emerges its istantly co-opted by everyone.
>Soho becoming gentrified
hello fellow boomer :) i think there's a point here about gentrification, but central london was lost in the early 2000s...
she made a shit joke about liking black penis. all the girls were like
"she's literally me".
i'd combine it with the fact that the moment anything minisculely different emerges its istantly co-opted by everyone
Agreed social media and globalisation are at fault for this
Subcultures like Northern Soul, Ska music or even bands like the Rolling Stones could never happen today.
Grime and dubstep will probably be the last subculture to emerge. They had time to incubate and develop into something resilient before exploding onto the mainstream.

;)

Yes but Soho needs to be saved as its the entertainment capital of the UK and has all the musical heritage and history of this country in its streets. All of it is getting replaced by rich kids opening bubble tea and korean bbq restaurants.
YWN be a A&R exec living and working in 90's/early00's Soho
JDIMSA
All the venues getting shut down and young people not being able to afford to go out is also a major issue that needs resolving.
