I have absolutely no idea how influential any of these bands are. I just find them highly suspect of being influential.
(The genres mentioned are not to be taken too seriously. I'm not saying they invented any of these styles either.) The genres are there to show what style of music that particular band might have been responsible for advancing further to the next generation of bands - like passing the baton.
- Pram - Left Field. They started out as Post-Punk and segued into other areas but always reaming like their coming out of left field. (I see other people claim they were Post Rock before Post Punk.)
- Stereolab - Avant-pop
- Add N to (X) Electro-Clash
- My Favorite - Synth Pop and New Wave. A band from Long Island, New York that keep 80s going while everyone else went Grunge. Toured a lot, and probably influence bands somewhere.
- Broadcast - Hauntology
- Sean McBride - Minimal Wave (he records under the name Martial Canterel and is 1/2 of Xeno & Oaklander)
- Crystal Castles - Witch House
- of Montreal - Neo-Psychedelia
- Rites Of Spring - Emo
- Cinema Strange - Goth
- Weezer - Geek Rock
- The Strokes - Post-Punk Revivial. Their music contains various styles of the 70s like Power Pop and Post-Punk mix with their idea of music from the future.
