I think pop is music that's designed to appeal to a broad audience. It's usually bright sounding and covers simple universal topics that most people can relate to. It's probably going to be melodic and have an understandable structure. And it will keep the songs short (for the most part, that is obviously not a hard and fast rule) So the Supremes that I mentioned earlier would be a good example, and are probably a template for an act like banarama to be honest.

I like the part where he starts to play a song and then stops and says, “fuck it, nvm”

"Megadeath" is probably under a Raytheon or RAND corporation trademark or something so they couldn't use it.

"I mean Black Country New Road, will have the lasting cultural impact of Arcade Fire"
I hope not. I hope that was a joke

Why? Seems fair enough, neither album they’ve released so far had had the impact or success of ‘Funeral’.
Arcade Fire were a big deal for six or seven years…I’ll be amazed if BCNR outperform that tbh
They COULD be the new longevity kings like Radiohead but I feel it’s a long shot
Arcade Fire feel very trapped in their decade…again I have a feeling BCNR might sound more 2020s indie than anyone else when we look back

2020s indie :D
Most influential artists are "trapped in their decade". It's likely that bcnr will influence almost no one. And if they do, it probably won't be identifiable because they aren't saying anything too original in the first place.

The most influential artists nearly all span the decades cmon
I think I mean that if someone said ‘please save Arcade Fire’ I’d reply ‘let’s get the time machine’ - that’s the only thing that will really put the spark back in those poor tired eyes, returning to 2005
BCNR are the figureheads of the closest thing to a mainstream guitar youth movement right now, don’t get me wrong I’m non fussed by them, but head to any music website this year and their latest one is fawned over. It’ll be the ‘kids choice’ album of the year almost guaranteed barring Kendrick releasing ‘How To Better a Pimperfly’
I think you’re saying I’m understating the impact of Arcade Fire?

"The most influential artists.. "
Well yeah, duh. That's very very very few artist though.
I think you are overstating the potential impact and current popularity of BCNR, and understating how successful Arcade Fire's first four albums were.
|

Arcade fires popularity definitely transcended "music websites" at the time yeah
They'd appear referenced or discussed in all sorts of places on a far less interconnected or populated Internet

I dunno even by ‘Neon Bible’ the trajectory seemed downward and it then headed for the buffers real quick after that I thought. By ‘Reflektor’ it was ‘Bowie guest spot and they like The Clash, how quaint’ rather than world domination, all a bit niche appeal
They were a bigger deal and more ‘serious’ than The Strokes but honestly you look back and Arcade Fire weren’t a long lived thing at all
Much closer to The Strokes than Radiohead or Nirvana at the final reckoning
