I don't know how much of it is the modern media landscape and how much of it is being a 40 year old man with small children, but I have a hard time telling exactly how "big" a group is. I think it's a bit of column a and a bit of column b, and at any rate this may be obvious but Turnstile is either already huge or about to be huge. Their last album Glow On was really big, they were direct support on Blink 182's world tour in '23/'24, and their new album Never Enough has been heavily anticipated. It feels like one of the most heavily talked about albums in recent years at least in terms of my friends, my music people, my algorithms.

I like hardcore, but I've always been into pop and so Turnstile has only gone farther up my alley as they've evolved. Anyways, discuss.

 

 

 

I also have a huge soft spot for Turnstile for doing the pop punk banger in the ITYSL shirt brothers sketch

I freely admit I have no fucking idea whatsoever anymore. The media landscape is so fractured it's almost impossible to tell. I have arguments with my son because he wants Alexa to play some super esoteric video game song which isn't on Amazon music, and I take pains not to say it isn't real music and undercut his feelings, but it's a bitch to articulate to a 9 year old what media consumption was like and what is mainstream or not.

Well, it's definitely changed, so what it was doesn't really much matter any more.

I'm not entirely sure things haven't changed for the better.  I think the "platinum" hits going forward are more likely to be the streaming hits that land artists on main stages at festivals.  Any given festival becomes a gumbo of a few artists one knows about and a whole bunch of stuff that is off the radar for any particular listener.  I don't think we can put the genie back in the bottle.

I’ve been listening to them since the first album. Nice to hear some actual rock is hitting the “mainstream”, whatever that means now. 
 

I said it on another thread, but I am super pumped for the neo-grunge movement with bands like Dark Sun and Return to Dust.
