In the eternal struggle between edgelords and normies, what is today's edgelord music? What is the modern incarnation of rock that's popular among the edgy masses?
pop punk?

I graduated back in 2010. From what I can recall, screamo and metal was the edgy music of choice.
Dubstep maybe?originale post
>>27926079
Hmm you might be right, even though it's pretty normie.
Dubstep/Industrial/DnB vs House/Trance/Trap
>>27925773
Ironic Memecore and EDM.
metalcore / deatchcore vs. Pop again
I remember that it was pretty hip for local bands to become deathcore / screamo whatever and that normies listened to rihana
Any EDM and hip hop for normies
hipstershit for edgelords, go to /mu/ for further details
Op, where punk?
>>27925773
>pre 2010
Metal/screamo vs hip hop
>post 2010
Hipster indie shit vs EDM
ok i think I'm convinced, i guess indie is the modern edgelord music
hows this look?
>>27925773
Vaporwave/hipster stuff for edgelords.
EDM and Top40 for normies.
Normies: Dubstep/electronic pop
Edgelords: Indie music
>>27926253
Indie is normie shit pal, you're fairly wrong
>>27926257
Please dont lump us together with those memelords.
5 years ago indie was normie but EDM/dubstep was for neckbeards. What changed?
>>27926347
Indie is still normie and it's always been terrible in general
Probably some shit like Industrial or post-punk.
But then that's socially acceptable to normie hipsters.
Either way, normies would be EDM or house.
>>27926347
indie was always edgy music,
usually played in those weird edgy movies that normies just don't "get", gnomesayin?
But the question is how popular it is today, because indie was popular in the 2000s, i don't know if it still is today?
>>27926112
>Dubstep/Industrial/DnB vs House/Trance/Trap
shut the fuck up little kid

>>27926192
this but refined
I am a total edgelord and I listen to noise /mu/ and power electronics
but they have been around before most posters on this board were born
this e.g. is my favorite song in the world
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KjAF7D4l91M
>>27925773
I think now days the edge Lord music had died off completely. The only thing that's remotely edgy is some rap music but even rap has transitioned away from gang bang lyrics of the past.
I myself only really listen to old rock and electronic music new retro wave etc.
>>27926395
>normies would be EDM or house
"EDM" is mostly a marketing term. It doesn't really mean anything.
House and dubstep are definitely normie. Techno and DnB are closer to the edgelord side. Trance is somewhere in the middle.
>>27926474
House has been the normie choice of dance music since it stopped being played exclusively at gay bars.
If we're talking about edgelord "EDM", it'd have to be hardstyle, or hardcore. Definitely.

>>27926474
Skrillex is basically the death metal of electronic music.
>>27925773
Was Nirvana really edgelord music of the 90s
>>27926575
>turbo normie music
>the death metal of electronic music
Skrillex is the reason dubshit is popular with normies. Having a dumbass haircut doesn't qualify you as an edgy music artist.
>>27926606
Not really. Rage Against the Machine were the true 90s edgelord group.
>>27926606
I'd actually argue it was gothic rock that was the edgy music back in the 90's.
>>27926606
Nirvana was fucking gay. I even grew up in the 90s and fucking hated them. Me and my friends use to joke about how depressed Cobain sounded and how he should just end himself. The. When he actually did it we all had a laugh about it.
Back then I was into more skater punk music than anything. Greenday (before they got all political) rancid, weezer, NOFX etc etc.
>>27925773
I don't understand what you mean by edgelord but probably
Blood on the dance floor and Bring me the horizon and stuff like that. Screamo and metal is still for edgelords.
>>27926408
>shut the fuck up little kid

What are trying to say you retard? Stop polluting this thread with incoherent bullshit.
>>27926408
The shit you're listening to isn't even music. Anyone can speak gibberish while playing random static.
>>27926408

I think you need to reevaluate your life your when you're saying stupid shit like that anon.
>>27926632
>punk music
>before they got all political
>>27926606
Yes, grunge replaced metal as the mainstream alternative to pop.
The new "edgy" really is the much hated tumblr and meme feminist look. Think Dr Martens boots, oversized bomber or denim jacket, multicolered dyed hair, peirced septum and listening to a mix of indie and vaporwave and re-discovering older bands (Joy Division, My Bloody Valentine, etc.). Claire Boucher (aka Grimes) really is a good example of that, and her music appeals to that crowd too (although I really like what she makes).
As for guys it's mostly the same thing as listed before, but think undercut hair or top-knot and the man bun. Goth Ninja fashion would count in the edgy, especially the more toned-down version we're slowly seeing in mainstream fashion. Also, ketamine usage.
It's like a clusterfuck between punk and indie, mixed with a "digital" twist.
>>27925773
this is just incorrect, yo

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9axaN7IadDY Tell me how can a normie like that
Also metalstep and electronic metalcore is the antithesis of normie music

What happened to the 60's
Pretty much this orugunal
>>27926614
>>27926631
These wouldn't surprise me. I was born in 1995 so by the time I found out about Nirvana and Pearl Jam and Alice and Chains and stuff it was like 2010 so I have literally no idea what the 90s were like
>>27926253
>2010's
>EDM is normie tier
>not remembering the height of MDMA that was 2000's dance, house, nerdcore, trance etc
either way EDM is pure degeneracy
>normie tier right now is whatever future, wiz khalifa, A$AP rocky, drake are. rap and hip hop with feelings in the mix.
>>27926716
I think you're right. I guess that's why i love that look on women. But then again i hate their male counterparts, i hate that male hipster look. I much prefer old school edgy.
>>27926730
Tell me where have you seen anyone resembling neurotypical listened to dark dnb, and I don't mean the pop remix shit, pendulum or faggots like nero

>>27926793
New Wave was pretty fire, my parents have some old cd's/cassettes lying around the garage (my parents were huge normies in their time though)
>>27926727
The name "EDM" was invented by marketing shills to appeal to normies. Original fans of electronic dance music just called it "dance".
And dubstep is 100% normie. It's basically slowed down DnB, and slower = normier.
>>27926720
what's incorrect m80m8?
>>27926859
>And dubstep is 100% normie. It's basically slowed down DnB, and slower = normier.
Please don't talk about things you have no idea about.
>>27926859
Dubstep never became truly normie unlike house or trance. Dubstep is too heavy,hard and technical sounding to normalfags unless its specifically made to be lighter and more cheerful like pop dubstep remixes or chillstep. The latter two are the only dubstep types that appeal to normies. Even skrillexe's crap is compared by 90% of normies to "two robots fucking"
>>27926792
WTF is that? Happy sounding synths starting at 1:29, this is not even slightly "dark".
This is the kind of DnB I used to listen to, and it was definitely edgelord:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6Sw0JJNjIN4
>>27926859
Electronic dance music was great before "EDM" shit ruined the scene. You thought top 40s music was repetitive and uncreative? Holy fuck the entire genre can be summed up as Martin Garrix - Animals. Fuck sakes, talentless hacks, all of them.
I love electronic music but I'm pretty much done with electronic dance music. Hopefully IDM and breakcore doesn't become a race for making a quick buck off mindless normans.
Everyone is an effeminate faggot so there is no true edgy meme music for this era
Biggest normieshit is either indie or nigger ooga booga beats or whatever garbage house is currently playing at mollyfest2016
>>27926961
when I mean happy sounding I mean this:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K35nFONmgx8
>>27926925
That's why it's basically the metal of electronic music...
Skrillex is literally the Metallica of the 2010s.
>>27927002
It's like a shit version of oldschool happy hardcore (back when they still used breakbeats).

deftones and powerman 5000 circa 1994/95 are the only not normie music
>>27927070
>that feel when I like Disturbed
Do I need to get off this board now?
>>27927070
Same tbqh familia. I wasn't even part of the edgy crew of kids since my mother was overprotective and didn't let me near them.
Normies: Dubstep (although even they are starting to realize how stupid it is)
Edgelords: Anything obscure as fuck
>>27926925
Dubstep never became mainstream but Brostep certainly did, normalfags love that shit.
>>27926961
That particular set isn't even that dark and is the sort stuff people used to listen to when D&B was mainstream, the most edgey sub-genre of D&B is definitely darkstep and not many people listen to that.

You should probably listen to more stuff if you think this.
>>27927044
Sure, it's "harsh", but it's lacking that feeling of potential violence which is so important for edgelords. You can be sure most of the crowd at that event I posted think they're badass and a fight might kick off any moment (they aren't, and it won't, but they think it might).
>>27927092
That's part of the reason why you are here.
I'm pretty sure my shit taste in music and edgy attitude are part of the reasons why I never got laid.
>>27926727
Dubstep is literally the most normie music there is.
>yo bro that drop wuz sick pass me a natty lite bro
Normies that want to pretend they aren't normies actually go out and pay to watch someone press a button to play album.
>>27927130
Why do people have to classify music as edgy or normie or whatever
Can't I listen to it because I think it's catchy or something
>>27927135
That sounds more like a house festival
>>27927148
Not if you want grills.
Grills don't want no edge Lord.
>>27926965
Can you recommend me some of this pre-EDM great electronic music anon? Serious request.
>>27927183
Grills just latch onto whatever's popular, they don't care about what you listen to.
>>27927099
I'm just tired of the 4 to the floor to be quite honest. Hardstyle/hardcore/gabber used to be my go to, but that has sort of become pussified to attract normies with dumb anthems.
Psy/Goa is my go to nowadays.
>>27925773
>normies
indie music, oh my god look I am so alternative!
>edgelords
deathcore, djent
>>27927197
Basically anything from early 90s.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8aDE6rVxELE
>>27927180
It's both.
House is just marginally better.
>>27927197
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XpgE6VrDANM
Later famously sampled in this.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dnY5q-IYqfw
>>27927200
I don't really listen to any Gabber or Hardcore that isn't from the 90s anymore desu, was never massively into Hardstyle but I occasionally listen to some of it that the Japs make. Same with Psy-Trance but not into that either. My main genres are Breakbeat Hardcore (which is dead), Jungle (which is mostly dead), Drum & Bass (which is alive but not great on the whole), UK Garage (which is dead) and Grime (which I wish was dead).
>>27926751
The only right answer. But from time to time a good rock song comes out and everybody
>>27927089
those are an admirable pair o tits, my friend
>>27927197
I was a hardstyle faggot back in the day so;
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XHbEjkoU1uY
>>27927280
Breakbeat Hardcore and Jungle I do enjoy, but yeah they're kinda dead. Was never really a DnB fan, maybe just never lurked hard enough because it all just sounded like lazy attempts at sampling the amen break. Never got into UK Garage or Grime either.
Really at this point, I'm just a "braindance" faggot that listens to the likes of Autechre and Venetian Snares.

I unironically like eurobeat. Everyone thinks I'm pulling their leg, but I legitimately like this craptastic music.
Too bad the genre has been taken over by furfaggots and mlp freaks.
>>27927654
>>27927821
I feel genuinely ashamed that I liked Eurobeat but I can't stop listening to it.
>>27927821
>furfaggots and mlp freaks
Fucking hell anon, where did you first listen to it?
When we say Eurobeat we mean the Super Eurobeat that you stick in your car and run in the 90s with.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wv0iUKb80C8
>>27927889
Way back in the early 00's dude. As of recently, mlp has been trying to adopt it as their genre (from some searches of dank eurobeat did I stumbled across it)
>>27927889
I can vividly imagine sound of this stuff playing on my tape recorder from an actual tape.
I used to listen to such music in late 80s early 90s. that tape gave it this special sound that I am not able to describe. lots of mids and no treble at all.
>>27927821
>>27927889
>>27927654
What's wrong with eurobeat? It's normie as fuck.
Is it because it's retro?

All of that is normie music. The 50s should be so!getting like Free Jazz or something more experimental.

Actually bretty gud music in my opinion familio
2010s: Metal v Trap
>>27926403
Indie is pretty normie now desu. I still have my foot in the hs door so I know whats what for the most part. Edgy music today would probably have to be harsh noise or any non entry level act
>>27925773
Synthwave.

>go to Carpenter Brut concert
>basicly a cyberpunk rock concert
Yeah, I can get behind this
Seriously guys, what do edgy teens listen to these days to be hardcore and rebellious? What is the CRAWLING IN MY SKIN of todays teen generation?
Obviously it was metal in the 80s
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SRwrg0db_zY
I guess maybe this is the only right answer>>27926751
No matter how lame numetal was at least it was original and new. These days it's all electronic shit.
>>27935242
Metalcore probably.
There were two emo kids at my highschool that I graduated from a couple of years ago, both of them were neck deep into bands like Asking Alexandria and As I lay dying.
Just so you know, metalcore is basically a mixture of hardcore punk and metal, it a bit like Djent, but with more emphasis on the soul than the crushing heaviness.
It's shit.
>>27935242
as I said earlier deathcore, djent...
for exaple https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=47Plg93oJ1M

metalcore is out imho, not hard enough + those pussy ass breakdowns do not help it as well.

>>27936384
that's underground stuff
we're talking mainstream here. I'm not gonna list every single genre in existence.
>>27936837
In that case, probably pop punk / emo / garage rock usually lumped into "indie"
In the US today the only publicly visible """"subculture""""" is the thrift store-core/*listens to Mac Demarco once*-core, pic related
I use the """""s because in today's internet-based society, subcultures skip the initial phase of being ostracized and often feared by the mainstream, and go straight into the commodified, publicly available phase.
>>27936384
wasn't darkwave more of a 80s thing, dungeon synth more of a now thing, and neofolk more of a pleb thing?
>>27937325
I guess dark wave is more 80s
Dungeon synth started in the 90s and its best stuff is from then. It's gotten more popular nowadays just because anyone can download some shitty free digital audio software and make it pretty easily
What do you guys listen to? I mainly listen to instrumental rock stuff like this nowadays. Probably has to do with listening to game OSTs like the plebian I am.

UK can be edgelord having whatever bracket emo revival, hardcore, pop punk, shoegaze, grunge revival, math rock, post-rock, mathcore, etc. come under.
Normie can be house music, i.e. deep house, big room house, tech house, tropical house, future house, bass house, uk garage, uk house, etc.
Normie: Fem & Ass (Vevo shit).
