BuzzersonKillwell Posted February 10, 2014 Share Posted February 10, 2014 I feel like if you take the idea of "Heartcore" seriously you might as well take Blink-182 seriously. Though I've never read the article so maybe AP makes a compelling case to the contrary. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dominic252 Posted February 10, 2014 Share Posted February 10, 2014 I think Billy hit the nail on the head there. Tumblr has this huge effect on bands now, for better or worse. Look at Neck Deep and Being As An Ocean. Balance & Composure. And no-one can forget the mighty titan that is La Dispute. When one "cool" kid puts lyrics on top of a picture of nature, that's all it really takes. Agreed. What Tumblr has done to music is both good and bad. It's amazing how popular being As An Ocean has gotten and that's awesome for them, but I hate seeing them on there constantly. That and I saw them a while ago and they were just awful Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

3arl Posted February 10, 2014 Share Posted February 10, 2014 Deja went gold before tumblr was a thing, so i don't buy that it's the reason ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ and stl_ben 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dominic252 Posted February 10, 2014 Share Posted February 10, 2014 Deja went gold before tumblr was a thing, so i don't buy that it's the reason I don't know, I see them a lot on there. I had no idea Deja went gold. I'll admit, I was kind of shocked that they seemingly got crazy popular out of nowhere Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

billya Posted February 10, 2014 Share Posted February 10, 2014 I am going to clarify my point about tumblr. I have been a fan of this band since 2003. Lots of people were. I know that they were a band with a push from AP (and even Rolling Stone) and landed TV spots before TDAG came out. HOWEVER, the burst of people who obsess over this band from the new generation came from tumblr. Recent fans who weren't fans before Daisy became all about Brand New because of tumblr. I didn't pull that out of nowhere. I am a Brand New fanboy. I've seen them live 15 times since 2010, and I can tell you that since maybe 2011, the younger end of generation has definitely picked up on the hype, because of tumblr. Of course that isn't the only reason. Them being mysterious helps. Them influencing bands who later got big helps. But to simply deny that teenagers get into bands (in mass) via tumblr is simply incorrect. Man Overboard, La Dispute, The Story So Far, etc etc etc all got most of their buzz from that site, and even though Brand New has been a popular name far longer than tumblr has, it definitely helped introduce them to a new audience. dominic252 and knifeparty 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
