>>66465947
>daft cunt
This is how I know you are new
>>66465951
calm down. I don't see whats wrong with calling it pop?
It's a good pop album. you're the one being pretentious
do you hate pop music or something? stupid hipster
It's alright
Dance Yrself Clean and You Wanted A Hit are God tier
>>66465924

Where does it say pop?
>>66466005
do you actually not know what pop music means?
>>66466005
In what way is This Is Happening 'dance-punk' and not just dance pop? Why don't you explain to me instead of reading from wikipedia?
I heard someone on the radio say that when she lived in NYC and LCD soundsystem came out that they were like, "oh it's this new thing," and she was like, "No, it's just what Le Tigre has been doing except now it's accessible for straight white guys." That sums up LCD Soundsystem for me so so much, and it sums up my perspective on a lot of indie dance stuff.
>>66466030
>>66466005
aww is this straight white male mad. that his "indie" album is pop. It's clear you don't know anything about music besides copy pasting wikipedia articles.
>>66466049
good
now click on that wikipedia article and actually read it, dumbo
>>66466040
With the exception that LCD Soundsystem's music has some feeling to it and is not utter garbage
>>66466070
>Dance-punk
>electronica
Point proven already.
>>66466093
both of those originated from pop music you retard.
>>66466071
Wrong.
>>66466093
so are you suggesting that dance punk and """electronica""" aren't pop genres?
>>66466116
And all music originated from some cavemen banging a stick on a rock. Your point?
>>66466136
no point just facts. it's obvious you're a child who holds on to petty things like genre labels. it's a good pop album. idk why you're getting pissy about that.
James himself would tell you

Oh so why don't we call him on the phone and ask him?
Not guy you are arguing with but pop music just means popular
What defines on how popular it is
>>66466049
Pop music is eclectic, and often borrows elements from other styles such as urban, dance, rock, Latin, and country; nonetheless, there are core elements that define pop music. Identifying factors include generally short to medium-length songs written in a basic format (often the verse-chorus structure) as well as the common employment of repeated choruses, melodic tunes, and hooks.

The album debuted at number ten on the Billboard 200 in its first week on sale, selling approximately 31,000 copies.[17] It also topped Billboard's Dance/Electronic Albums chart the same week of its debut, which dethroned Lady Gaga's The Fame from its five-month reign on the chart for one week.
>>66466194
>dance
Except, the album in question is literally a fucking dance album. No pop involved.
Something like Hissing Fauna, or Foster the people is pop music.
9/10 to me senpai, only weak track is Somebody's Calling Me. Sound Of Silver is still their best tho
>>66466174
Pop music does not mean popular. If that was the case then Lulu could be considered pop
>>66466298
The two things aren't exclusive. Even then, songs like One Touch and All I Want are closer to straightforward pop than dance music.
>>66466369
I meant I Can Change, sorry. One Touch is the closest to actual dance music.
>>66466369
>>66466383
Whatever nigga. It's still not pop music
>>66466435
It's pop music lol.
>>66465901
just reminded me it exists so i started listening to it again for the first time in years
i love it, the first track is insanely good and so is the rest of the album
>>66466443
Say that to my fucking face faggot.
PUT YOUR LITTLE FEET
DOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOWN
Would be literally perfect if Drunk Girls weren't on it
>>66465924
Calm down, summer it's indeed not pop but dance-punk but I think your statement considering non harsh noise albums is far from being true
>tfw you will never listen to Dance Yrself Clean for the first time again
I CAN CHANGE
I CAN CHANGE
I CAN CHANGE
I CAN CHANGE
>>66467105
whats wrong with Drunk Girls
>>66465918
I'm pretty sure it's a reference to Off the Wall by Michael Jackson.
>>66467105
true
>>66467566
>>tfw you will never listen to Dance Yrself Clean for the first time again
>>66468171
It's a reference to Lodger
>>66468042
Nothing by itself but it just does not fit into the album at all
They should have released it as a stand-alone single
>>66469517
Makes more sense
