Cool Is kevin parker responsible for the rise of bedroom pop?

I would welcome opinions on whether Kevin Parker from Tame Impala has been the main influence behind the rise of musicians self producing their own material

I doubt it. That’s been going on since the dawn of recorded music.

And modern DIY certainly has earlier roots

yes that is true but a lot of press hype about it at the moment - do you think it is a good thing?

What press? What musicians cite him as an influence?

NME, The Guardian, Billboard, Pitchfork, Rolling Stone and a number of mainly Indie Artists I guess. Not saying I agree but just keen to hear people's opinions

Then added to that he is being sought as a collaborator by Lady Gaga, Mark Ronson, Kanye West, Alex Turner etc. Obviously it is a small niche -

You should know about K Records and that scene, it’s important.

I get that Tame Impala is influential but the relevance of their influence is negligible because that path is so well travelled. If Samsung makes a new washer that people like it’s still just washes clothes. Tame Impala is the Samsung washing machine of psychedelic music.

I like Tame Impala but they’re not important beyond that. And that’s ok.
