- brudgers 4y agoBlack MIDI is post-punk since MIDI came in the 1980’s and Black MIDI only became possible years later when computers became much more powerful. And of course, Black MIDI has a formalism consistent with academic music and modernist composition of the 20th century. Which is to say, Black MIDI is avant-garde and insiders sitting at computer looking at notes on a screen. There’s no outrage and nothing outrageous.
- agentwiggles 4y agoI was referring to these guys (who I assume are named for the MIDI phenomenon you're referencing): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ebrpRKUMcss https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ebrpRKUMcss I get the sense that I won't be able to post something you won't manage to find derivative and un-punk, but these guys are among the more unique modern guitar driven music I know of. YMMV.
- brudgers 4y agoI just don’t think punk has been relevant after Thatcher and Regen, which means I am giving it more than a decade. Certainly by 1990, rappers had take the mantle of “that’s not music” outrage, and sampling was becoming what was considered the talentless noise not at all musical. I mean I know a few people who have been into punk for forty years. Some have grandkids. There’s nothing wrong with guitar driven music. It is just old fashioned.
