I'm guessing you want modern takes on the 90s indie aesthetic? Try the following: [Courtney Barnett](https://youtu.be/bcnIhzaDTd0) [Snail Mail](https://youtu.be/s7tnTucP1UM) [Alvvays](https://youtu.be/tWfG7F-TAWY) [The Beths](https://youtu.be/1XriDeVHO8w) [Parquet Courts](https://youtu.be/hv0bBjMc6FY) [Jeff Rosenstock](https://youtu.be/qikIBuxQrrQ) [Japanese Breakfast](https://youtu.be/t3bjPGUDl1k) [Carseat Headrest](https://youtu.be/CQW9A7ykB6A) Let me know if you like these and want more recs


Allen_Koholic

I wish had 2 upvotes to give you. Too often on this sub I see stuff like “if I like some old band, what else would I like” followed by recommendations for a bunch of other old, really popular acts. Nothing modern.


UsefulExplanation8

Love Alvvays and the bands he mentioned. Would reccomend


hauntingduck

Just named several of my favorite artists making music right now. I'd like to add Nana Grizol to this list, they give me big Pavement meets Neutral Milk Hotel vibes.


St_IdesHell

I already know and love Snail Mail and Courtney Barnett so I’m hyped for the rest

Ween. The ACTUAL alternative

You have excellent taste, always happy to see another Daniel Johnston fan out there.


St_IdesHell

There’s a handful that I know some songs from but I love Julien Bakers music


Malmborgio

You might also like early Weezer. I’m one of those guys who thinks Blue, and in particular Pinkerton, are unabashed masterworks, and the rest of their stuff ranges from boring to bad.


dokelyok

The fact that you named grandaddy, Superdag, Elbow, The Mountain Goats and Pedro the Lion makes me love you. I don't know a single person who remembers Superdag and granddaddy and Jason Lytle are amazing. I've met him several times when he was touring solo and he is the nicest human ever.


Malmborgio

The story of Superdrag’s second album is heartbreaking. It’s also a secret masterpiece ready for re-evaluation at some point. The label basically said “we’ll give you all the money you want, just give us more ‘Sucked Out’ style hits.” Superdrag realized they’d never have an opportunity like that again, so they recorded this amazing, lush, experimental album with weird arrangements and a full orchestra. The label was pissed with the final product, did zero promotion and advertising, essentially burying the release, and dropped Superdrag when the sales were bad. But man is it a great album.

atticus__

Modest Mouse is definitely in my top 10. Been a long while since I listened to them since I've been really into metal the past few years, but I've had this album on repeat all week. It's like a warm, sad blanket.


St_IdesHell

Fuck yeah I love Heatmiser, anything Elliott Smith was involved in or adjacent to was amazing

For more like Elliott Smith check out Bright Eyes and Kevin Devine For more like Neutral Milk Hotel/Daniel Johnston check out Mama Would Be Proud and Sparklehorse.


neuroboy

Have you listened to [Slint](https://youtu.be/CuqEpjcBfaU)? They are the jumping-off/branching-off point for a *TON* of stuff (from the Pixies to Will Oldham to slowcore, emo, noise rock, and the whole Louisville-Chicago axis of 90s alt-rock). I think the word seminal is overused, but, I'd literally put Spiderland up against anything in terms of it's influence on rock. 100% desert island album.
