Has Chillwave Gone TweenStream?


Yall might be familiar with the popular tween Disney sensation ‘Demi Lovato.’ She is basically the ‘latina Miley Cyrus’, meant to appeal to the Disney tweens who have minority bloodlines, giving them a reason to ‘dream’ that one day they can be kinda white & famous, just like Miley/HannyMontanny.

Recently, I saw her tweet about her new favourite song, Neon Indian’s “Deadbeat Summer”, possibly the feel-good hit of the former year ‘2k9.’

It seems like she massively approves of this former indie-’it’-buzzband, and will soon be on iPods of tweens all across the country. For all we know, she might ‘throw down a sweet collab’ with Alan “NeonIndianVegaBro” Palomo, then they will have an on-again-off-again relaish that plays itself out in the tweenbased tabloids.

Because of these new fans, ’s next album may or may not outsell any AnCo debut, and prove to be ‘music that tweens use to experiment with drugs.’ As we learned from the 2k0s decade and the success of Radioheadian legacy, it is important for the legacy of a band to be ‘music that an entire generation listened 2 when u first started experiment with _________(drugs/alcohol/handjobs)’ so that it can leave ur fans with a bloated legacy. People will associate ur band with positive memories of ‘feeling alive/free/open-minded’ 4 the first time.

Feel like I h8 the 2k10s already. Like I’m losing everything that once belonged to me. Next thing u know, Lance Bass/Moby will join AnCo. Next thing u know, the XX will be tweeted about by Ashton ‘PUNK’d’ Kutchers. Next think u know _________(band that I haven’t heard yet) will be blogged abt on pitchforks.

Wonder if she and the Jonas Brothers will team up to write some influenced songs in 2k13. (h8 this decade already)

Seems like Demi Lovato already lives a ‘’ lifestyle.

Recently watched her music video, “La La Land”, a song about tween alternative individuality. In the song, Demi Lovato sings, “Who said I can’t wear my Converse with my dress ….Well, baby, that’s just me…”

The song has become an anthem for girls who ‘wear tshirts’ instead of ’short skirts’ [via Taylor Swift metaphor abt the spirit of individuality].

‘Guess we lost another 1, yall guys…’ -indieBro after the Kings of Leon went bro-stream

    The reason Demi heard of them is because she was at my friend David Osborn’s apartment in North Richland Hills, TX and he showed them to her. Then she did cocaine and fucked him. No joke.

    I think we are looking at it the wrong way. Instead of seeing this as losing Neon Indian to the mnstrm and making chillwave ‘inauthentic’ I think it has possibly made Demi Lovato into the raddest tween female in the biz (though I am not surprised at all that a young celebrity with time on her hands may actually enjoy music).

    another plus – this has made the possibility of sleeping with a disney star that much more feasible of a goal…

    @jesuisanimal, It makes me sad that just because a band becomes semi-mnstrm you give up on them. :’(

    I think what we are all missing here, the main point, is that Crls is FOLLOWING Demi Lovato.
    What is with this love for tweens?

    crls. dont b so ‘worried’ abt 2k10. mayb it is good that tweens are bcumming ‘alternative’ and shedding thier ‘mainstream shells’.

    maybe b/c tweens listen to neon indian now, it means that every1 will become altbros.

    tht way the ‘whole’ world will bcum alt.

    then evry1 will mayb ‘get’ us alts.

    and the ‘mainstream’ will bcum ‘alt’

    what a head trippy.

    am i too entry level seeing the ’silver lining’ of the situation?

    @aweavvvy, authenticity is like an empire, it can only be maintained through aggressive yet selective cultural hegemony and an oppressed production population

    @prcunybcbq, i didn’t rlly touch on the idea ‘authenticity’. just the idea of mnstrm vs alt ‘culture’ and they would one day ‘merge’. you can b alt/mnstrm and still b ‘unauthentic’ or ‘authentic’. dpends on what exatly your personal brand is/how u represent urself/who u hang with/ur life/u.

    You guys are all fucked in the head. Bahhhh sheep, bah. So f’n what if some pop tweener likes a band; you’re just going to abandon someone you dug over that? Your taste is as temporary as Bubblicious. Fuck, if Dakota Fanning hears Desolation Wilderness in a preteen garage pot-party and digs “Paris to New York” then right on; music is for listening and the feelings and emotions that it evokes, not how fuckin cool it is. The majority of you are more Demi Lovato then Demi will ever be. Skinny jeans are out now, so go back to the Levi’s that you always liked – uh-oh is that true or was that an ironic joke; is just going back to your own style the new “new”. Oh wait, a website that I openly criticize didn’t tell me that, so it must be a joke (ensue nail bating). I hope that fucks your head more than it’s fucked already.

    Love,

    a music fan

    @Christopher R. Good, Definitely agreed. Although it does make me feel bad on the inside when SUMDUMBItch likes the same music, at least it’s more support for the band. Luckily though, I didn’t get into Neon Indian that much, so my time may come when Of Montreal is at the kids’ choice awards…almost plausible:( if something he wrote wasn’t sexyal. But when you find the music you like on the internet, SUMDUMBitch is bound to find it too. We all have to get over it or stop finding out about it. As a non-tween, it’s not like I even knew who a lot of these presluts were before reading this post. It might be good for them. Micachu for covergirl!

    If I were driven/talented enough to be a musician i’d be stoked to have some tweens spend their parents’ money on my music. Cause making money is cool, I think.

    Also, I wonder, if a tree falls in the woods and no one is around to hear it, does it make a sound?

    so demi lovato likes neon indian big deal, if you like neon indian who cares about other people. don’t be a poser/hipster and run around cleaning up your itune becuase some band you like is known by other people.

    @pirate, Idk who ‘Demi Lovato’ is [didn't read the post] but I definitely think u should delete mp3s by artists that tweens like if u have kewl friends who look @ your iTunes, even if u are not a poser/hipster. That’s industry standard, sistah.
