SOPHIE - HARD (OUT ON NUMBERS)
British take on KPP.

It's pretty terrible.

[Bamyasi]

Yeah that's one of my favorite song/videos but couldn't all Vocaloid stuff already be considered Post-modernist?

【初音ミク】Hatsune Miku-"Gene-Revolutionary"【MK Vocal Edit】

[Bamyasi]

That and the imagery in most of the videos. Watching that one again though, you're right, it's got some pretty clear Dada vibes going on.

The Bug - Catch a Fire (Official Video)

[Stu4U]

a chiptune of which i can't find its source.

[Sef]

for the 0-2 other [black / atmospheric] metal fans on tba...

Agalloch - Limbs

Cipher you're cool or something

tofubeats - No.1 feat.G.RINA

[Ayyyyy]

Kate Bush - Army Dreamers - Official Music Video
Denis Leary - Asshole (Uncensored Version)

cool, it did it automatically

[Bamyasi]

QT - Hey QT
The West can't into cute culture.

[rtil]

sounds like the fucking chipettes

[Gilthwixt]

The 90's called, they want their gimmick back

Aqua - Barbie Girl

[Bamyasi]

Except Aqua and Toy-Box are actually good. I kind of like that new Sophie song compared to his other stuff but it's definitely not the kawaii takeover I'd hoped for. Pop music really needs saving right now.

I totally thought you were introducing me to my new favorite band until I looked this up. Guess I've been #chiprekt.

Also I don't really like her videos' aesthetics but this song from FKA twigs' album is pretty alright:

[crackers]

i think as far as mindless pop goes it's actually quite catchy. It's better than anaconda

[Bamyasi]

Yeah I guess I like it okay. I watched the video for Anaconda and it's basically porn.

For anyone wondering, this is how you do electronic music in 2014:

Objekt - Ganzfeld

[naturally]

The Uncluded: Bats [+lyrics]

[Bamyasi]

New AFX:
Aphex Twin - minipops 67 [120.2][source field mix]

[crackers]

if we're doing Aphex Twin then

Aphex Twin - Alberto Balsalm

[Gilthwixt]

Hey Bam, does this count as cute enough for you? I didn't even like it at first but it grew on me with the album, and I realized it wasn't that different from what you posted when you take away the 8-bit.

Anamanaguchi - Japan Air (ft. m33sh)

They also did this song recently, and I hate it.

Anamanaguchi - Pop It

[Bamyasi]

Yeah, but the difference between those two Anamanaguchi songs and QT is that their production is actually good and the song structures are exciting and professional sounding, whereas everything outside the chorus of Hey QT sounds god awful. I'm going to have to disagree about Pop It, though. Is it the lyrics you don't like? Take those away and it's a top notch song if you ask me. It's the kind of thing we should be hearing on the radio by now. Take away the silly lyrics in QT and it just sounds like the terrible mainstream EDM.

Thanks for posting it. I did some digging (meaning I went to Fact) and there are actually a few PC Music tracks I find almost tolerable:

Most of it sounds like Happy Hardcore repackaged for millennials though. It's like every previous trendy tumblr microgenre combined. Yep, it's that bad. Not the internet-inspired dance scene I wanted.

Hope I can be forgiven for breaking the 1 song rule. These are all from the same label and none are good enough to post individually.

[Gilthwixt]

Yeah its the lyrics. I just can't sing along to something so inane.
