Jonas Brother tweets about awesome new band called Neon Indian


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

thexxx's picture

@bassbasswobblewobble, chillwave is targeted at a younger audience, so it's not completely off the wall

@HJ, still mourning breakup of ghosthustler, less MGMT, more oldschool synth vibe

brogan's picture

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.

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, surfer blood was never cool

brooey deschanel's picture

@anna, thinks someone is trying to 'represent' surfer blood and get those surfer faces on a billboard in dt ATX

mountain dew green label sound social media brand representa's picture

@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

brooey deschanel's picture

@mountain dew green label sound social media brand representative, 2 fggts & a funny bro

Broam Chomsky's picture

@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.

mackie's picture

@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.

@haha, guess we should all start blogging about john cage, can't imagine tweeners listening much less sitting still for 4'33'' of silence

schtoopid's picture

schtoopid's picture

Feel like chillwave is "crossing over". Neon Indian = next MGMT

brooey deschanel's picture

Dewd's picture

Neon Injun iznt relavent anymore. It only lasted through the deadbeat winter. JoBros are def in now.

lol_wut's picture

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.

thexxx's picture

shit, i was planning on going to a ni show, i feel like the nonentity levels will be higher now.

Hippiebro's picture

@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.

Nataliekbeats's picture

Oh. No.

brian's picture

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~

@crlitos guey, i heard of echo and the bunnybros. they're 1 of those 80s post-post-punk-revival bands rite?

chong's picture

@crlitos guey, yeah theyre like ni and sample straight 80s but with a darker less fuzzy vibe

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.

rapeshark's picture

my ass hurts so bad from reading this. goddammit. now another band i luv is ruined for me

JoeHard's picture

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.

HeyThatsMyShoe's picture

O.K. Chillwave is out.
Blisswave is in.
The Neon Indians: lame.
The Best Coasts/Las Roberts/Beached Fossills: kewl.
I'm 'on it'

Hippiebro's picture

@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

JohnnyPlague's picture

Demi Lovato likes shitty metalcore in addition to shitty indie rock:

BBBBBBBB's picture

blisswaves just sum smith westerns shit eh?

HeyThatsMyShoe's picture

@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.

paulina ruiz's picture

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???

paulina ruiz's picture

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

mackie's picture

@paulina ruiz, agreed. Just right it off as 'mindie.' What was alt. a while ago is now the norm, that pattern won't end.

Aww dammit. k u guise. going back to animal collective. if somebody asks, chillwave never existed.

Joe Jonas's picture

Hey people! there's this new band called Animal Collective... Your little subculture is gone, yall!

mackie's picture

@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?

dw's picture

@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

vanwynpandabear's picture

joe jonas is a hipster, he was in a vampire weekend video remember?

DisgruntledCitizen's picture

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???
