alt-left music/culture

i feel like there was an insurgency of genuinely transgressive, "alt-left" music in the 2010s with post-internet music spawning out of memetic counterculture and 4chan cyber-magick like sophie, death grips, jpegmafia, 100gecs, machine girl, arca, vaporwave, nightcore, cloud rap, new amalgamative industrial/noise rock sounds, etc. that have since fizzled out into the aestheticism of the hyperreal mainstream. i don't see any of that kind of imaginative deterritorialization anymore now that the internet has been been totalized by capital and the poltards won.

i dont know half the soykaf but pretty sure >vaporwave, nightcore has zero political leaning. Especially nightcore is just speed up songs. Seems you got left/right brainrot

>>87804 the internet is deader than it's ever been. the death grips target audience can pretty much easily be found IRL now at underground venues. in fact as far as I can tell that cloud music dominates small venues these days.

>>87805 vaporwave is marxist and nightcore is queer >>87806 i feel like irl is equally dead, theres nothing really new and transgressive thats actuallty culturally potent in any of the irl scenes around me

>>87806 i dont believe internet translates to IRL music because you cant replace a band with ai gen music. The newest online soykaf is also just remixes with meme lingo. No way that finds appeal among normal people.

when i was feeling sad about a year ago i felt like this trend has gone the place all trends go to die: heavy metal with the HEALTH tour last year and all. that being said, I like what cel genesis is doing now. their shows remind me of the noise shows i used to go to in college, except they have actual songs and are a real band that tours, which, from what ive seen at shows cel is doing something transgressive with. Also, I was able to find some actually good shoegaze bands a few months ago. i dont know how 「online」 they might be, but i went to an amazing show with rabbit, a place to bury strangers, pop music fever dream, and sunset images. all of them were good.
