This place and work have both been slow as shite today, so I figured I would honor the end of summer by using this opportunity to throw all the chillwave artists I could think of on a notepad and tier rank the shite out of them. I also don't care that chillwave was so 2010, it's still real to me dammit. Let's see what you think of this list, who you would add, move, or remove.

Tier 1:
Panda Bear
Boards of Canada
Toro y Moi
Neon Indian
Com Truise

Tier 2:
Tycho
Washed Out
Clams Casino
Classixx

Tier 3:
Memory Tapes
Ariel Pink
Small Black

Tier 4:
Pictureplane
Best Coast
Ducktails

people still listen to chillwave?

And one more pithy condescending comment:

Panda Bear is not chillwave

I wouldn't call Wavves chillwave.

Move Ducktails up. Move Com Truise up.

Memory tapes is in tier 1.

neon indian is in tier 3 (due to their sucky live show)

I wouldn't say panda bear or boards of canada are chill wave, same for tycho.

Dreampop > Chillwave


That being said, Clams Casino and Washed Out should be Tier 1 (for me).

Youth Lagoon is probably Tier 1 or 2 (once again, for me). Year of Hibernation was probably one of my most listened to albums of that year, and it still holds up, imo.

Weird to see him/her/it listed under this subgenre.
