a couple of examples:
Dukes of Stratosphear "Chips from the Chocolate Fireball" - psychedelic, 60s garage rockSlowdive "Souvlaki" - shoegazer

Bows - Blush (trip-hop)

Shouldn't this really be divided into two categories? DoS were working in a 20-year-old form, whereas you'd say Slowdive were just late getting on a recent boat.

Hm. Well it was my impression that showgaze was pretty much dead by 1994 when that album came out. no?

but still, usually you'd say that the best-of-a-genre is either produced at the beginning of a genre's introduction (it perhaps being the introduction) or by one of the progenitors of the sound. For both of those albums I mentioned, it's not really the case.

Souvlaki = '93, FWIW
― Pillbox, Sunday, 2 November 2008 01:38 (seventeen years ago)
my copy says '94 on it.
― Pantheism F. Mohair (res), Sunday, 2 November 2008 01:43 (seventeen years ago)
ok, US release was 94.
still, what other notable shoegaze albums came out that late?
― Pantheism F. Mohair (res), Sunday, 2 November 2008 01:54 (seventeen years ago)
lol good shoegaze albums have come out more recently than 1994

Lush - Split (1994)
― Paul in Santa Cruz, Sunday, 2 November 2008 01:57 (seventeen years ago)
i mean, there hasnt been another loveless, but to say the genre is dead is pretty stupid.

xp
sorry for being stupid guys

then psychedelic rock isn't dead either, and neither is disco. shit, even big band is still alive and well!
― Pantheism F. Mohair (res), Sunday, 2 November 2008 05:08 (seventeen years ago)
in its pure form, sure. but those first two especially have HUGE influences on a lot of current music.

Genres don't really die out, they just disappear from the mainstream.
Anyway, several albums by The Flower Kings to thread. Their two most recent ones are their best ever.

Powerpop had more or less died out when Matthew Sweet released "Girlfriend" although he helped revitalize it.

Mahogany - Connectivity! (2006)
(the dead genres being shoegaze and Stereolab)
