New Impressionism

New Impressionists are a generation of musicians reacting to their impressions of what rock music was when it was still the most viable genre (1950s-90s in all of it's forms from shoegaze to noise to rockabilly). Some might incorrectly call this reaction post-rock, but that would imply somehow being past or being "over" rock music. Though New Impressionism is different from traditional rock music, it is not about being past or "over" anything. Far from it, the unifying theme is a musical reflection on what New Impressionists perceive the reasons and influences of rock music to be, whether it be concious or sub-concious. Some may even go so far as to live their lives as rock musicians were supposed to have, and to emulate the song structures and instrumental tambres they dabbled in. However, New Impressionist music can actually be quite different or strange, as New Impressionism is about a reaction, not about directly copying - it is an impression of what rock music was, not a snapshot of its exact reality, though some artists do get literal in their reactions and interpretations.
The Black Lips, showcasing New Impressionism, emulate the recording style and song structure of garage rock and the antics of punk heroes of the past.

Mongoose impression

A degenerate bonding ritual where one friend slaps the other full across the face—hard enough to knock the dignity loose—and growls, “Do your best mongoose impression.” The victim, now trembling and shame-charged, contorts their body like a hairless ferret having a nervous breakdown in a sock drawer. Bonus points if they hiss, writhe, or emit a sound somewhere between a squeal and a suppressed moan.

Usually carries a deeply uncomfortable sexual undertone—like someone dared Gollum to seduce a Subway sandwich artist. Equal parts frail, twitchy, and submissively eager, the mongoose impression is less of an act and more of a descent into greased-up, wide-eyed desperation.
"We're at Olive Garden, right? Outta nowhere, Jake slaps Trevor so hard his breadstick flies across the booth, then whispers, ‘Do your best mongoose impression.’ Trevor locks eyes with the waiter, arches his back, and starts chittering like a horny squirrel in heat. They comped our meal out of fear."
