Confused about what genre...
 

Hi, just wondering what genre of music bands like sneakerpimps,goldfrapp and monoke were? and if anyone knows anyother bands with that kind of trippy feeling to thier music.

I'm just a confused westchester preppy so thiers nobody near me who even knows these bands

help anyone?

:( nobody wants to tell me about more bands..total bummer...

sneakerpimps kind of fall into the category of trip hop. kind of. there's a ton of bands like this, and I love them all, except I'm at work and my mind is rotting and I can't think of them right now ;) but I'll check at home later and update the post for you..
in the meantime, check out www.audioscrobbler.com ... it's a website that logs what you play in through your music player (itunes, winamp, etc), builds a record, and then suggests other music/people to you. ... or.. www.allmusic.com also offers suggestions based on artists.

..ps... propellerheads are good, like the sneakerpimps.

Sorry man, but I've never even heard of any of them; I'm just a 35-year-old-fart with no good radio stations to learn from. But, give a try to MusicPlasma; it is a very cool tool for finding related bands.

Remember a time before emo, trip hop, rap-rock, etc. where whenever a band didn't fit the specific catagory of rock, hard rock, or metal...later New Wave, Punk, and Grunge got added but didn't fit those either so they just called it "Alternative". I remember when Radiohead first came out they called it "Alternative Rock" which seemed to fit pretty well. Now people are tryin to call em emo, and what not. I gotta say some people hate when ya put a label on something. I don't but some people do. Not to say that I love it..I don't really care...at the most it only makes it a little easier to find in a record store..I think thats the only real reason we have genre's/catagories, etc. anywayz.

Asta!!

www.allmusic.com is a good site for inquiries of this type.
