2006/2007 music scene

LCD was just getting more known around then, created a wave of “indie disco” artists that carried on into the 10s

>2006/2007

My "crowd" was probably the last generation of mallcore nu metal kids who were getting older...the last albums I remember being new releases that were a big deal to people I hung around were SOAD - Mezmerize/Hypnotize or whatever

All the younger kids I knew were totally wrapped up in scenecore shit, metalcore, deathcore, post hardcore, hardcore dancing, skinny jeans, all that crap

Seriously what the fuck is wrong with him

Blue Cheer/MC5/The Stooges becoming the defacto hipster band sound when?

MGMT introduced indie pop to the mainstream in 2007 with three big hits.

Name other indie disco artists of the time

Yeah I think these three hits are some of the most influential songs of the century so far desu

Mgmt, the rapture, the bravery, killers kinda did it

These were more mainstream though

Literally all of this is wrong what the fuck. 2006 and 07 were like the peak years for mainstream rock bands, which back then were mainly various mixes of pop punk, emo, etc. Scene was already dead or dying by then.

In fact 2006~07 was probably the last time rock music was relevant on the mainstream. 08~10 is when artists like Rihanna, Drake, Wayne, Chris Brown, etc. pushed Hip Hop/Rap into the mainstream power that it is today. This is also around the time when indie rock bands like MGMT and AnCo made all of the early and mid 2000s rock seem like cringe boomer shit.

>Pop punk wasn't really dying, it was just starting to get big again with all the bands that are now considered "canon" for the genre just starting Wonder years, Transit, Title Fight, Fireworks, Set Your Goals, etc.

I'm pretty sure hip-hop was a mainstream power since the Beastie Boys. And there was absolutely no hip-hop in 2006-07 except in underground clubs I'm sure.

06-07 was when music blogs really took off.,
you could find new stuff on blogs like discobelle, pandatoes, gorilla v bear etc. everyday. it was new and fun at the time.

Not true, it was ringtone rap like T Pain and this

I'm 30, and I graduated high school in 2007.

Like you alluded to, Emo-Pop was starting to get big on MTV, with bands like Fall Out Boy and My Chemical Romance playing a lot.

There was a commercial "indie" thing happening with the garage rock revival bands that were still around, like The White Stripes and Yeah Yeah Yeahs, as well as just random indie bands like Franz Ferdinand, Modest Mouse, TV On the Radio, and The Shins. It was actually a good time for indie, and there were good popular indie bands around like Ambulance LTD and ...And You Will Know Us By the Trail of Dead. There was also some shitty pseudo-indie, like the Postal Service and The Decemberists.

One thing I wasn't as aware of, but definitely became aware of later, was that it was an amazing time for the post-hardcore underground, with bands like Planes Mistaken for Stars, Fall of Efrafa, Have Heart, and stuff like that.

It was also a great time for mainstream hip hop, though OutKast and Jay Z were pretty much the kings, as they had been for many years by that point.

Nah a lot of rap but it was earlier 2000s shit like Black Eyed Peas and shit who aren't relevant anymore
Still Kanye though

A lot of rap here. Hell dude Soulja Boy was this year.

Time To Pretend, Electric Feel, and especially Kids ended up being some of the most influential songs of the decade if not the century. Artists like Kid Cudi took direct influence from MGMT and subsequently influenced trap rap and cloud rap of today. I definitely think the current rap scene wouldn't be the same without MGMT desu. And more obviously they influenced popular indie pop groups like Foster the People, AWOLNATION, Grouplove, and other electropop acts

Then they came out with Congratulations in 2010, which I think will be considered a classic years from now desu

why whats so good about it

The mid-2000s was an absolutely dire period for hip-hop though, just the worst.

Scott Pilgrim is based around the 06 era

It can be compared to 1976-77 when the last gasps of hippiedom were around and the new kids were getting into punk and New Wave.

Yeah in 76 everyone still had long hair and mustaches and within a year and half they're shaving and donning skinny ties.

Post Strokes indie boom (garage revival and post punk revival) was dying down in the mainstream and Pop-emo bands like Panic, FoB, and MCR started getting a good deal of airplay. The central aesthetic movement to reflect this more upbeat eccentric take on the pop punk/ emo genre was indeed Scene, which probably peaked in 2008 as far as it's countercultural influence as seen in Myspace and Warp Tour screamo/metalcore acts.
Hip hop on the other hand was pretty popular, still, but manifested itself in shitty Crunk / Ringtone Rap probably reaching it's logical conclusion with Soulja Boy in '07 (who actually laid the blue print for viral rappers like Lil B and thus the entire Sound cloud scene we see now). Lil Wayne was also very popular around this time, and it was right before he signed Drake.
Pop was interesting if not a bit boring, IIRC Amy Whinehouse was pretty popular, aswell as shitty post coldplay adult alternative like the Fray.
It really was the last years before the cultural shift other anons have already alluded to: pop guitar music being trivialized by post-Kanye Drake-era pop rap boom that preceded the meme rapper era, the rebirth of pop divas like Taylor Swift, Rhianna, and Katy Perry, and the indie pitchfork explosion kicked off by Animal Collective and subsequently MGMT who brought indie electric pop into the mainstream, setting the groundwork for this decade's popularity of EDM and dancepop

So, in britbong land: ARCTIC MONKEYS
in amerifat land: FOB, MCR, PATD ect
It's weird how polar opposite the music was

>It really was the last years before the cultural shift other anons have already alluded to: pop guitar music
Pop guitar music didn't go away, it just turned into buttindie.

MCR and PATD were Kerrang bands
Artic Monkeys and Kaiser Chiefs were NME bands

I've seen plenty of praise for it on Yea Forums since LDA came out so you're probably right.

Lot's of Trilby clad posers jumping up and down to The Kooks and shit like this

>Postal Service
>shitty
Take it back.

>arctic monkeys, kaiser chiefs
THey got play here in the USA

2006 was the year when i started to really delve deep into music. my taste at the time was mostly post punk revival stuff like interpol, arctic monkeys, franz ferdinand, we are scientists etc.

Listen to Pigeon Detectives and you've got the idea, basically. Indie rock died down at the end of the 00s for good reason, it's just unfortunate there was nothing better to take its place.

>2008
>MGMT
>Glasvegas
>Vampire Weekend
things will never be the same, lads

>2006
I was 17 and going deep into prog- post- and stoner-rock. I discovered most of my favourite albums around that time, but was completely oblivious to what was happening in the mainstream.
I think house and bling rap were quite big? I dunno.

yeah them too, but at that time they were considered a scene band. More for looks than sonics, and because of the other bands they palled around with.

While there are similarities there they weren't really part of like a scene, they were kind of just their own thing from England that happened at the time. White Stripes, Strokes, Hives, Vines, etc. was all prior and had all wrapped up or largely changed styles by 2006.

i was tired of listening to nu-metal and pop acts of the early 2000s, and by 2007 had replaced them with post-hardcore so stuff like Thursday. i was collecting a lot of post-rock bands and expanding my taste in electronic music at the same time. it was also around the time dubstep was becoming a popular thing so i was collecting vinyl rips of that too.

2007 onward was a really liberating time of my life because i'd just graduated high school, got my first job, first pc, TF2 had come out and i was playing the shit outta that, and it was really formative for my tastes in music.

'06-'07 was the PEAK of the dirty south with acts like UGK, 36 Mafia, etc taking over. This was the song of the times:
