"Stomp Clap Hey" is a made up genre, an inaccurate descriptor and a shitty meme invented by zoomers who were barely even potty trained when indie rock/folk was popular.

There’s a difference between The Lumineers and a band like Temper Trap. They were both indie bands popular at the same time, but one of them is obviously stomping, clapping, and hey-ing. It’s an apt description of the genre. Just embrace it.

Stomp-Clap-Hey was the capitalistic vomit of a good movement. One that valued a greater emphasis on personalization. One that valued raw experiences over manufactured.

Macklemore's Thriftshop music video sums up this movement nicely. In a world of so much stuff, why follow the lastest trend? Go to a thriftshop. Buy an old record player. Buy some retro clothing from the 70s. Get a broken bicycle from the 60s and fix it up. The past generations made it all. It's all there. Its cheap. Its your choice. Its also very anti-capitalistic. Very anti big-brother. It's very about personal expression.

Thats my view at least

Nah I think the roots of SCH are in the 90s.
Remember, the 90s were all about alt-rock, fluid melting riffs, raspy vocals.
Then Nirvana did the unplugged and accoustic became very popular among normies. Cobain even wanted to do an accoustic album, because he had no idea what to do next, after noise-maxxing with In Utero. Then he dieded and his legacy was buttrock.

But there was a counterreaction to all that buzzing alt-rock riffage and a growing sympathy for accoustic, heartfelt music, inspired by unplugged shows. It was also a way to reconnect with a streak of music that wasn't so fake and oversold, like how alt-rock's degenerate offspring buttrock had become.

So then you get Neutral Milk Hotel that tried to reconnect with Americana vibe, though it's more on the instrumentation level, because the songs were very subtle blends of multiple disparate influences. Like ITAOTSA the song has this rigmarole rhythm but with a minimalistic guitar that reminds a bit of Nevermind's Polly.
There's also a weird vibe all throughout that album, that goes from wailing, nostalgic, hopeful, triumphant-thru-pain. And the multi-instrumentality of it gives it this lofi grandiose feel, like the whole assembly of weird noises suddenly conspire to participate in this flow of feeling and singing.

It might have influenced both stomp-clap-hey, but also the indie resurgence that started with the 2000s. Vampire Weekend's first album also had this lo-fi instrumentation with crudely played drums, 'improvised' jangly guitars. Yeah, so the roots and influences can come from very weird unexpected places.

Fleet Foxes was good

>inspired by unplugged shows
I wonder if lowkey Johnny Cash reviving his career with minimalistic singer-songwriter ballads and an "alt" Rick Rubin production didn't bring this 'authentic acoustic roots' influence back in the 90s.
There weren't many prominent musicians doing this before Cash early that decade.
And with him it was more a question of necessity, country music was seen as very uncool, so he had to come up with some tricks to make his new stuff stand out in that time.
I guess the fact that he stripped down his country style of all violins and twangy phrasing and focused on having a golden barebones melody, much in the style of what made alt-rock successful did the trick.
