WAARRRISSSSDDEESCCENNEE????

who said rock is dead? long live Rock n Roll.. :)

@Blessthebreakdowns Hehe, spot on.

[Blessthebreakdowns]

@hassanumer999 It's weird how we're almost agreeing yet arguing different sides of the same coin. That's exactly what I'm saying, I want Pakistani musicians to look outside of their own country and take influence too! In the SAME way the early US Hardcore bands from Boston etc did at the UK. There ARE already Pak artists doing so, such as The Limitless and Talal Qureshi bringing electro-house over. I'd like to see the same in the emo/punk/hardcore genres too, that's all I'm saying! :)

[hassanumer999]

@Blessthebreakdowns Singapore and Malaysia have huge scenes of almost every type of music, from Brutal Death Metal to Retro-Hardcore to Modern Hardcore to Thrash Metal. That's because a large part of their population is urbanized and all the cities are massive urban centers. India had a lot of development in their last 10 years and they suddenly now have a good and varied underground music scene with both local and western style. Pak needs to develop as a country first

[hassanumer999]

@Blessthebreakdowns Post Rock is a relatively new form of music, all the practitioners are in our age bracket (teens and young adulthood), same goes for Pak. Point noted on neo-psychadelia however.

People in every country look beyond their own country for more music. It's nothing new. Early American Hardcore acts looked at the UK and their Oi! Punk scene. American Death Metal acts looked at UK grindcore acts some years after that. It's called globalization.

[Blessthebreakdowns]

@hassanumer999 Just because there is an aspect of diversity doesn't mean there's enough. If some of us are having to look outside of Pakistan for music that is not present there, then something is lacking! Idk about you but people my age don't really listen to post-rock and psychedelic music

It can change though, Singapore and Malaysia, for example, have recently developed huge post-hardcore/electronica scenes. I'm sure it could happen in PK if there was a catalyst to start it, I can only hope!

[hassanumer999]

@Blessthebreakdowns There is plenty of diversity here. Especially cultural. Lahore is different from Mardan, for example. The music coming from both cities would be completely different. Interior Sindh would have totally different music from Karachi. Speaking of Karachi, that place is a hotbed of modern post-rock and neo-psychadelia these days. Don't be ignorant, there is diversity in this land every 10 kilometeres and in every aspect. And let's leave it here.

[Blessthebreakdowns]

@hassanumer999 That's brilliant, and it's wonderful that this aspect of music exists, but why the music industry of a country would want to limit itself to that is beyond me! Diversity is the best thing in the arts! Cultural relevance is subjective, as is what people enjoy! I'm sure I'm not the only Pakistani to think so as SO many Pakistanis listen to just American and Western bands because they don't see that diversity in their own country's music, I'd like to.

But yeah, let's leave it there.

[hassanumer999]

@Blessthebreakdowns Something I don't want to see either. I'll stick to my denim jacket over my shalwar kameez, listening to Oi Punk from the 80s and Grunge from the 90s as I visit ShahJamal Darbaar on a Thursday night to see Pappu Saeen play the dhol. And I'll stick to culturally relevant artists like Bumbu Sauce as well. Cheers, let's not derail the comments any further.

[Blessthebreakdowns]

@hassanumer999 Well, yeah, everyone to their own opinion, but diversity never hurt anybody! I'd love to see some music I've never really heard before come from Pakistan, I wanna be proud of my home's music scene but it's hard to be when we have nothing to show because even our "prominent" bands like Noori and co sound like bands that were big in the West 10 years ago.

Pakistanis in tight jeans, making breakdowns and getting low while they play, that's something I haven't seen yet.

[hassanumer999]

@Blessthebreakdown Lol. Well opinions are like assholes, everyone has them, no one likes their stench. :P ;)
