Slacker rock


 

A term coined mainly for the purpose of describing seminal indie rock band Pavement's lazy yet intelligent sound, the slacker rock ethos involves music produced without superficial frills, and is described by some as music played by people who don't know or understand their own instruments. Despite their supposed "amateurish" presentation, Pavement enjoyed great critical success and a large indie fan following with their lo-fi debut Slanted & Enchanted, a recording best known for its harsh sounds, poor sound fidelity, lead man Stephen Malkmus's off-key but charming vocals and brilliant lyricism.
