How do you classify Stereolab?

In iTunes (yr preferred meeja player)?

Alternative Rock?
Alternative pop?
Indie pop/rock?
Avant pop/experimental?

I can't decide.

Re: How do you classify Stereolab?



I have a genre titled Stereolab!

Besides Stereolab, it includes High Llamas, McCarthy, Monade, Turn On, all the split singles, etc.

It is big enough to warrant it's own genre, no?

Re: How do you classify Stereolab?



Yes, nice idea.

I need to get the Project. Is it still available for a well thought out gift?

Re: How do you classify Stereolab?

generally aren't they defined as "post-rock" the most?

Of course I think WAY more of them. More than words can say really.

Re: How do you classify Stereolab?

I've always carried a grudge against record stores that divide their stock into too many genres - as though a strict line of racial segregation needs to be maintained between Justin Timberlake and R Kelly, or the first Caribou/Manitoba album belongs in one aisle, while his latest belongs in another...

Out of spite, I classify the vast majority of my music into a single "pop" genre.

Re: How do you classify Stereolab?

Agreed. Though I don't mind, if they feel the need to segregate, having a special section for "Indie" labels.

Re: How do you classify Stereolab?

The best term I've heard is "postmodern pop". Although simply "art pop" sounds better to me.
