[4/2/2013 11:23:19 AM] Ruben Melendez: ballinn
[4/2/2013 11:24:11 AM] Ruben Melendez: uh this isn't even chillwave bro
[4/2/2013 11:24:24 AM] Ruben Melendez: this is so shoegaze, like that mid 90s, slowdive shoegaze.
[4/2/2013 11:24:43 AM] Ruben Melendez: I gave Pete Souvlaki on vinyl a few years back go listen to it
[4/2/2013 11:25:19 AM] Ruben Melendez: yeah not even chillwave
[4/2/2013 11:25:24 AM] Ruben Melendez: this is chillwave http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4sEqjB2YGhA
[4/2/2013 11:25:42 AM] Ruben Melendez: hear the difference in vocal style and mix? chillwave keep that ethereal feel of shoegaze but often can be seen as dance music or even downtempo beats. brahevnbeats?
[4/2/2013 11:25:47 AM] Ruben Melendez: like the first toro y moi album or bilinda butchers stuff (the chillwave jank not the hottie from mbv)
[4/2/2013 11:25:55 AM] Ruben Melendez: where as the shoegaze you and I like keeps a distinct sound, chillwave OH MY FUCK IM THAT GUY

I'm definitely that guy. I do it and don't mind if my friends return the favor. I wouldn't do it to shame anyone but simply in an effort to educate.
Although I'm not really sure what that education goes towards. I just think attention to detail is important in all things music.

In your defense, no one should listen to "chillwave."

ILF totes draws "that type" kind of guys. We're ultra discerning, intellectual and like to discuss these things in detail.

We're cool, guys. Just as long as we stay in our little enclave we've got going.

I always feel like a jackass when trying to describe music to anyone.
Participating in genre debates blows too.
