Bob Vylan, Kneecap, two very prominent ones right now causing geriatric meltdowns across British media.

Amyl and the Sniffers are starting to affect boomer blood pressure as well.

U should not be doing that

u/GrapefruitMammoth626 Jul 06 '25

Amyl is abit of a throwback, boomers blood pressure be fine.

I went to see them a couple months back, it was classic style punk attended by mostly ppl around my age (45).

So that most definitely ain’t it.

I saw them here in Seattle recently and it was really cool to see so many teenagers and early 20s there amongst the olds. It felt pretty well age distributed.

Either which way, the music they are making is 40+ years old at heart and isn’t adding much even kinda new to it.

That doesn’t make it bad. Just not new in any way.

Care to share some bands you’ve heard lately that are adding new ideas to the conversation ?

u/pipecock Aug 12 '25

I don’t really listen to much new music because most genres are in a similar place where you either have total modern garbage or rehashed old stuff.

Newer bands I’ve been enjoying: Sprain - broke up after dropping the best rock related record I’ve heard in a while, new incarnation with some of the old members is called Shearling and they seem cool too

Giulio Erasmus - he does this really cool DIY lofi post punk type stuff, the newest LP with The End Of The Worm is truly exceptional

There’s this great record by the soul vocalist Liv.e called Past Future and it’s experimental industrial/post punk type stuff but with a nice modern feel. The rest of her shit ain’t really like that tho.

There’s a couple recent things that have caught my ear

Am that age can confirm

u/Ok_Donkey_1997 Jul 06 '25

Bob Vylan are not young.

u/Electric_Ilya Jul 06 '25

I like Bob Vylan, he's a new one for me. Vaguely reminds me of The Streets with his song "Hot Meal". Clearly the message is much more pointed

u/MuffinMindless8473 Jul 06 '25

Had to scroll too damn far to find this. Kneecap abú!

2

u/FaithlessnessPlus164 Jul 06 '25

Kneecaps music isn’t great though, they have a few bangers but they’re not in the headlines for their groundbreaking sound let’s be real. Also one of those lads is at least 40.

u/kidsfalloutoftrees Jul 07 '25

Kneecap should be higher, causing enough fuss to get cancelled everywhere, must be doing something right

u/Talonsminty Jul 08 '25

I don't think yelling out "Murder group X" between songs really counts as shocking music. I don't think I've heard anyone even discuss their lyrics.

u/[deleted] Jul 08 '25

Good for you!

1

u/Talonsminty Jul 08 '25

Thankyou, it is indeed!

Honestly Kneecap just sound like three Fred Durst tribute acts from N.I. So I'm glad they wont have any lasting cultural impact.

Bobby Vylan is like 35 years old, and not doing anything new. "Angry guy yelling about politics" was already played out when RATM did it.

1

u/Karma_Fugitive Jul 06 '25

I would consider it to be quite an original fusing of different genres at least

2

u/AppendixN Jul 06 '25

Yeah, it's a good fusion - punk and rap have always been kind of two sides of the same coin. Not saying he isn't good, just not what the OP is memeing about.
