I'll never forget the day that Disney tween sensation Demi Lovato tweeted about Neon Indian [link]. Can't believe a Jonas Brother (Joe Jonas) who has half a million twitter followers 'officially endorsed' Neon Indian. Wonder if this is 'bigger' for Neon India
'Look at those mad retweets.'

Seems like the reaction amongst tweens was 'overwhelmingly positive'

The whole world loves Neon Indian

oh sorry. u already know abt them.

Does n e 1 know what Neon Indian looks like in real life?

What are the best Neon Indian songs that a tween would enjoy?

'u should check out Terminally Tween, bro.'
Will the Jonas Brothers write a chillwave album in 2k12?
Will Alan Palomo of Neon Indian 'produce' the next Jonas Brothers album?
Feel like it seems more likely that a Jonas Brother/Disney tween will hire a bunch of indie / chillwave producers to help re-brand their sound them after they are done with their Disney contracts, kinda like when Hillary Duff dated that Good Charlotte bro.
Is chillwave 'the perfect genre' because every1 can pick up agreeable vibes from it?

Has chillwave gone mainstream / tween stream?
Is this endorsement more important than a high Pitchfork review, or even a performance on Jimmy Fallon?

i thought chillwave was nvr supposed 2 get into the hands of the tweens. this was nvr part of the plan.
@brohan sebastian bach, that's why ICPcore is the best genre. they've created a genre that will never be popular. they've invented a genre that no one will like but them. they get to keep it to themselves forever.
@gucci mane, ok reevaluating my whole life may just start listening to ICP
@bassbasswobblewobble, chillwave is targeted at a younger audience, so it's not completely off the wall
@gucci mane, hahaha.
@brohan sebastian bach, worried bout tweenz taken acid yall
@brohan sebastian bach, i called it bro, face it this music was kidz bop from the start
it's okay i'm already bored of chillwave anyways. bye 2k9 forever.
@advil, 4realz
vega is better i think neon bro finally figured that out 2 so lets all move forward amicably
@HJ, still mourning breakup of ghosthustler, less MGMT, more oldschool synth vibe
its offically not cool anymoer
Feeling sad for that chick 'Just1Dreamer'. Like, she's afraid of riding the chillwave by herself and she needs a Jonas Bro to tell her which NeonIndy mp3 is good.
@a, jonas should recommend (AM), beats mad.
Hope the tweens start taking acid with me...
@\\\\\, hope they start buying acid from me...
@!!,
my acid sales have had a 29% marginal increase over the last 12 hours
@\\\\\, feel like taking acid w/ tweens = 'bad trip' [via acne]
justin bieber vlogged about caribou the other day. I think it's pretty clear what we're headed for. surfer blood will get a show on disney channel and cool will officially die
@mountain dew green label sound social media brand representative, you think surfer bloods cool, bro?
@brooey deschanel, I think what music blogs tell me to think
@brooey deschanel, but not cokemachineglow that site sucks d
@mountain dew green label sound social media brand representative, surfer blood was never cool
@anna, thinks someone is trying to 'represent' surfer blood and get those surfer faces on a billboard in dt ATX
@anna, my friend went to high school with some of them and they were a dick to him so I'm "supposed" to hate them. but two of the dudes are gay and one is hilarious that is a winning combo to me
@mountain dew green label sound social media brand representative, 2 fggts & a funny bro
@mountain dew green label sound social media brand representative, i like your joke about the surfer blood disney show. it's scary how easy it is to imagine them on that channel.
@mountain dew green label sound social media brand representative, I hate how I'm upset that other people might actually be informed that good music exists.
find a new buzz genre asap ppl
@haha,
have u heard abt this band called the Animal Collectivities?!! THEY ARE BLOWIN' MY MIND RIGHT NOW!!!1 I can warmly recommed this song they made about some girls and slabs! s000 g00d!
@dakota, so glad/sad they are impossible to crossover to tweenstreamers
@dakota, where have you been dood? i gots my pawz up on a leak of their next album!!!!
DEF BEST RECORD OF NEXT DECADE YALLS
@haha,
have you heard of this band called Genesis? Have you heard of prog-rock? Have you heard of Syko Sam?
@haha, jandek is finally going to go mainstream[ via desperate alts]
@jambajewce, i'm 100% in support of this
@haha, guess we should all start blogging about john cage, can't imagine tweeners listening much less sitting still for 4'33'' of silence
what would happen if neon injun bro tweeted about the jonus bros? would that make them cool?
also just heard the surfer blood goes jesus lizard band. much better than that surfing blood
i hrd that neondian bro is actually the oldest bro of the jonas bros
Feel like chillwave is "crossing over". Neon Indian = next MGMT
jonas tweets abt injun. injun tweets abt ariel. who is ariel tweeting abt?
@brooey deschanel, scared of the rabbit hole youve opened up brooey
all of the mnstrm celebs at coachelly signifies that indie as a whole is truly dead
time to move on folks, hop onto the ternative bandwagon w/ carles
@feh, ride the carleswave
@bro noir, post carlescore
don't worry guys we'll just tell all the tweens and joe bros that we liked them first and keep our indie cred
chillwave suxxxxxxxx
Neon Injun iznt relavent anymore. It only lasted through the deadbeat winter. JoBros are def in now.
psht. if i was a celebrity, i'd troll blogs for buzzbands to namedrop, too. nothing like using the ol' series of tubes to make yrself look indie/cool/relevant/forward-thinking/bandwagon-hopping/tweenstreamy in 2k10.
shit, i was planning on going to a ni show, i feel like the nonentity levels will be higher now.
@thexxx, You're going to have to be tripping balls or getting a tug job from a questionably legal age raver chick to actually enjoy the show...Neon Indian shows involve watching Alan Palomo awkwardly zoning out while adding cliched psychadelic overtones to his beats that sound 1/10th as good.
Oh. No.
I remember the first time I heard "shouldve taken acid with you bros" on HRO circa 2k9.4 and got 'really stoked on this chill sound'. feel like the magic is gone ~1 year later
@brian, ~just like being in love, the chillwave fades in time~
shit happens
chillwave is s000 2k9
Bros I think it's way freakier that he tweeted about loving sleigh bells right b4 that one
@mattgcn, JonasBro tweeted about Sleigh Bells?! Fuuuuck. I'm bouts to be done with music 4good yall
@James Cameron, sleigh bells sounds like justin beiber + distortion.
@bro noir, never heard just beeber but sounds pretty good
@bro noir, let me show u what ur missin: PARADISE (via mad decent production)
chllwv has died
chllwv is risen
chllwv will cum again
totes saw this band "echo and the bunnies" while waiting for vampy weekend at coachella...theyre gonna be huge yo! should check them out
@crlitos guey, i heard of echo and the bunnybros. they're 1 of those 80s post-post-punk-revival bands rite?
@crlitos guey, yeah theyre like ni and sample straight 80s but with a darker less fuzzy vibe
heard they were inspired by donnie darko
i can't breathe
what's up with the furry creatures above his eyes?
ugh - what does it matter who listens to neon indian or any other artist/group? damn, get over it.
Neon Indian = mainstream chillwave
Washed Out Bro, Toro y Bro, Memory Cassettes = Still relevant chillwave
@Sheep, 2tru, h8 neon injun, he is lk dave matthews of jam bands.
Sent from my iPad
@Sheep, completely agree
Announcing my retirement from listening 2 music yall.
It will be ___ months until NeonIndie Bro gets a 'Making the Band' show on VH1/MTV.
It will be ___ months until JoeBro3.0 metaphorically 'offs himself' on the internet/in real life.
my ass hurts so bad from reading this. goddammit. now another band i luv is ruined for me
Meh, don't worry guys, songs about dropping acid and etc, the kids will never get it. I doubt Jo Bro gets it either. He just wants to seem like a hipster.
O.K. Chillwave is out.
Blisswave is in.
The Neon Indians: lame.
The Best Coasts/Las Roberts/Beached Fossills: kewl.
I'm 'on it'
@HeyThatsMyShoe, The evolution seems logical.Very similar asethetics and sounds..Though the key difference is that blisswave transcends the one dimensional party element evident in chillwave that makes me just wanna do coke/drugs and burnn up the dance floor
Demi Lovato likes shitty metalcore in addition to shitty indie rock:
http://www.metalsucks.net/2009/07/24/demi-lovato-loves-metal/
blisswaves just sum smith westerns shit eh?
@BBBBBBBB, Blisswave was invented by Wavvvves, in California/for bros, and The Vivian Girlz, in Brooklyn/for girls, in ~2008.5. The Smiths & Westerns are 'kind of' blisswave but 'not totally': they're more fuzzy/buzzy than blisswave.
The most authentic blisswave acts of 2K10 seem 2 b the Best Coasts and the Beached Fossills, also The Dum Dum Girlz, The Gauntlet Hairs, Zola Jesus's, and ~80-90% of the mp3s Gorilla Vs Bear posts. But it's still 'O.K.' to listen to the Smith & Westerns if u like and not be totally unhip.
@HeyThatsMyShoe, lol@ Zola Jesus [via chocolate syrup album cover?]
@HeyThatsMyShoe, kinda feel like NO AGE are the forefathers than
JONAS BROZ are hipsters via chillwave. neon injunsz now relevant 2 tweenz via jonaz broz
feel justified to take more drugs now
nooooooooooooooooooo
alan, i luved u.
i still luv u.
i smile with luv everytime i walk past I <3 VIDEO goddammit.
but i just can't take bunchez of tweenziez listening to ur music thru white ipod earbudz.

i think this is a sigh that chillwave is shit lets all go buy the new ariel pink record and go on a man hunt for neon indian.Most of u guys are yanks so gussing u have guns hence all the crime and nwa rap music?
'boycotting' Mtn. Dew yall.
I'm Just1DreamerGirl askin the cutest jonas what r the best Neon Indians songs I can legally purchase off itunes.
whats is this CARLESWAVE question-mark question-mark question-mark
chillwave is dead. will be back in 2k40
i dont know how to feel about this, i guess that once it hits joebros i cant help but want to leave. thought im sad to say it i am pretentious, and sad that this is happening.when things like this happen i guess its time to move on to the next thing, trying to stay one step ahead of the rest of the world and i guess disney too now? dammnnnn what is our world coming too???
jonas bros and other disney charecters need to shut the fuck up and leave real music alone.i guess we couldve seen this coming tho. i guess its time to move on to something new. thanks alot jo you ruined my day. one step a head of disney and the rest of the teen world
@paulina ruiz, agreed. Just right it off as 'mindie.' What was alt. a while ago is now the norm, that pattern won't end.
and i agree with chris^^^
every1 please go 2 my youtube channel 2 listen 2 my owl city/ratatat mashups.

2.1)who is the latest witchhouse act?
2.2)why is house music called 'house'?
thanks,
sincerely Michelle
Aww dammit. k u guise. going back to animal collective. if somebody asks, chillwave never existed.
Hey people! there's this new band called Animal Collective... Your little subculture is gone, yall!
@Joe Jonas, Dang. The only solution to preserving our subculture is by destroying the tween one. You're first on the hit list.
@Joe Jonas, do you spit or swallow?
@Joe Jonas, is Ezra hot irl?
@Pvmntsucks88, via wiki "88 is used as shorthand for 'hugs and kisses' when signing a message in Amateur (ham) Radio," not sure Jonas bro aware of this ref either
joe jonas is a hipster, he was in a vampire weekend video remember?
oh god that freakin joe jonas asshole! god that tween heartthrob i hate him so much why did he have to take our music and defile it!! that flat iron obsessed mickey mouse buttboy camp cock loser!
wow and all us hipsters were just so in love with chillwave, i guess since the mainstream has managed to obtain another of our precious loves, we should recklessly and ruthlessly abandon it like everything else we claim to love, once it has been assumed by the mainstream. and i thought we still had a few months of exclusionary enjoyment of chillwave.
so what should we be superficially enamored with now guys???
just 'threw up' a little bit
just 'threw up' a little bit in my mouth
post really got my hatred of the mnstrm 'burning up' y'all [via the bronas joes]
