What happened to fun rock bands?

Even modern day eccentric bands like Black MIDI sound like narcoleptics compared to prime XTC?

Squid are fun though

XTC is good but I like Black Midi too.

stop looking at what is shilled. music has shifted into a very large underground. whatever you are looking for it exists out there but you have to work to find it. Stuff that enters the public consciousness is usually not fun.

posts like;

are made by anons who don't know how to use the internet and place too much importance on popularity

Spergs like Andy are looked down by the other people today to a degree that was not seen in the past, making it rather difficult to even start a similar band.
Imagine being slightly autistic, yet ful of wit and smart enough to make everyone upset by merely cracking some jokes. You're literally Hitler and a threat to "normal" people. A band like XTC simply cannot exist today. There's no more fun, no laughs, nothing at all. Everything is incredibly serious or so apathetic and lifeless that you'll be praised for that.

Radiohead happened
Rym happened
Emo happened
Take your pick

XTC is for fags only

To elaborate on this, every fucking show I go to has at least one emo band on the bill because after rock faded from the mainstream the only rock music that kids remember is modern baseball and all that third wave “post hardcore” shit like all time low

only the truth here

This though, rock can be fun without being as faggy as xtc, I’d barely even call them rock

XTC is far from being faggy. Compare them with Duran Duran. Totally different feeling

You’re right, Duran Duran probably got bitches. Skylarking is a virginity protector

Also an incredible album

Nothing's fun anymore, therefore no fun rock bands.

King Gizzard

There’s better psych pop, but I will give you that the worst part of that album is Todd Rundgrens dogshit ass production.

Jack White, King Gizzard, Psychedelic Porn Crumpets, and Kim Normal are some I can think of

So what's the point of all this quality music being out there, if no one's going to hear it? There was a time not too long ago, when you could find good music right on TV or the radio.

>all time low
>third wave "post hardcore"
wtf lmao they're literally just a shitty pop punk band

>So what's the point of all this quality music being out there, if no one's going to hear it?
Because user, believe it or not, there are some people who still actually care about music despite all the popular garbage getting the spotlight

if no one is going to hear it, then thats on them for not putting in the effort to find them. Is your mind so weak that you need to turn on the tv or radio to find what you want. Search for things, follow labels. You are the one without passion for music and you are projecting that.
