  • The Lost Generation How UK Post-Rock Fell in Love with the Moon, and a Bunch of Bands Nobody Listened to Defined the 1990S by Nitsuh Abebe
    Pitchfork | http://pitchforkmedia.com/features/weekly/05-07-11-lost-generation.shtml 11 July 2005 The Lost Generation How UK post-rock fell in love with the moon, and a bunch of bands nobody listened to defined the 1990s by Nitsuh Abebe his decade’s indie-kid rhetoric is all about excitement, all about fun, all about fierce. TThe season’s buzz tour pairs ... with Soundsystem, scrappy globo-pop with the kind of rock disco that tries awfully hard to blow fuses. The venues they don’t hit will play host to a new wave of stylish guitar bands, playing stylish uptempo pop, decamping to stylish afterparties. Bloggers will chatter about glittery chart hits, rock kids will buy vintage metal t-shirts and act like heshers, eggheads will rave about the latest in spazzed-out noise, and everyone will keep talking about dancing, right down to the punks. Yeah, there are more exceptions than there are examples—when aren’t there, dude?—but the vibe is all there: We keep talking like we want action, like we want something explosive. The overriding vibe of the s—serene, cerebral, dreamy—was anything but explosive. Blame grunge for that one. Just a few years into the decade, and all that muddy rock attitude and fuzzy alterna-sound had bubbled up into the mainstream, flooding the scene with new kids, young kids, even (gasp!) fratboys. Big kids in flannel, freshly enamored of rock’s “aggres- sion” and “rebellion”—they were rock jocks, they tried to start mosh pits at Liz Phair shows. So where was a refined little smarty-pants indie snob to turn? Well: Why not something spacey and elegant? Why not sit comfortably home, stoned or non-stoned, dropping out into a dreamier little world of sound? It had been a few years since My Bloody Valentine released Loveless, and there were plenty of similarly floaty shoegazer bands to catch up on.

Introduction “I belong to the Blank Generation, and I can take it or leave it each time,” sang Richard Hell. Those words would quickly galvanize the nihilism and rejection of the mainstream that defined punk rock. Richard Hell is an American musician and writer, known for his involvement with the early punk movement in New York City in the 1970s.
