Best Coast is a fuzzy buzzy artist who is in the process of 'crossing over' / being marketed as an authentic female artist since she makes music that is better than 90% of many female indie artists.
Recently, MTVU debuted her video for "When I'm With You" and in their terrible blurb, they called her a chillwave artist:
Lo-fi? Glo-fi? Gorillavsbearcore? So many names were bandied about for this ever-popular distorted indie trend. But when the New York Times weighed in after this year’s SXSW, bloggers seemed to settle on the phrase “chillwave” to describe the genre. Whatever it’s called, I’ve always been a fan and I’m sticking to my guns on that one.
Speaking of SXSW, Bethany Cosentino of Best Coast emerged as one of the highlights. A singer who has embraced the chillwave sound, Cosentino intersperses the buzzy feedback with pop-orientated lyrics for a delightful combination of sarcasm and sun.
It seems like Bethany Cosentino got all confused by this genre name, then tweeted about it. Maybe she doesn't spend enough time reading music blogs since she is in a van that probably doesn't have a 4G wireless network.
In addition, she made a 'silly joke' about chillwave and Jimmy Buffet, the songwriter of the hit song "Margaritaville", a song about a foreign country where they have an unlimited frozen margarita machine.
Is Best Coast the Jenny McCarthy / Sarah Silverman of the indie female circuit?
R u disappointed that she doesn't know what chillwave is?
Should all indie artist buzzbands be required to attend an annual seminar where they are educated on trends that percolated on the internet while they were 'on tour'?
