Title: 00s nostalgia thread (whites only)
Post by: Shostakovich on April 21, 2020, 11:38:56 PM
it's one thing to have your own tastes but it's another to be a metalhead, the lowest and most insignificant species of music listener, and shit all over the tchaikovsky of alt rock, incubus. you are out of your fucking mind. stick to the viking roleplay music and let the adults discuss real bands

the lowest and most insignificant species of music listener
Battle of Los Angeles, Everything You Ever Wanted to Know About Silence, Relationship of Command, Vapor Transmission, No Words to Speak Of, Full Collapse, Stay What You Are were all 1999-2001 tho
Coming out of say the 2004-06 window were tons of peaks of bands for me: Head Automatica, Death from Above 1979, Coheed and Cambria, Thursday, AFI/Blaqk Audio, Alexisonfire, The Hush Sound, Brand New, Saves The Day, +44, Haste The Day

I think recursive once said something disparaging about the pop-punk, post grunge, and nu metal landscape of late 90's/early 00's and I'd tend to agree.

Hmm. I wasn't thinking this thread would go in that direction. I do admit I like metal. Really love black metal. I think metal fans are often their own worst enemy on the internet. The sort of elitism when discussing their favorite genre. Using arguments like technical skill as a barometer of "good" when the only thing it means is that the artist has perhaps more tools at their disposal to potentially work with due to that technical skill of their instrument, but that's still not going to make for a good song in and of itself. Music isn't good or bad based on objective aspects of skill at a specific instrument.

Going to metal concerts or festivals is usually a total sausagefest. Likely a 9 to 1 ratio split. It was funny when Devin Townsend basically took the piss out of the crowd and pointed that out when I saw him at a festival. For all the ideas of non-conformity and being yourself there sure is a lot of archetypes that show up to these shows too. I mean if you pass by a venue you can likely guess it's a metal concert just by looking at the crowd standing around outside. Now that's not necessarily a bad thing or something you should take offense to if you have that kind of look yourself. More power to you. It's just kind of amusing.

I'm not picking on metal. Like I said, I like it. There just happen to be some aspects of the fandom surrounding it that can be a little uninviting or annoying. Though if you like the tunes, great. That's what I care about too.

OK. Everclear. WTF. This I just don't understand. It's almost like the lead singer cosplayed pop punk. He's totally serious about his band and all. He's got "that" look. He seems to have big fandom for punk rock of the 80s in his blood, but his output is the most Kidz Bop volume 34 music possible. I kinda don't get how that came to be. I mean the production on their albums is sleeker than even  late 90s pop.

Some people don't like groove metal. But the only thing that annoys me about people's Pantera takes is when they celebrate their pre- Cowboys material.

Like really? Give me a fucking break. Let's pretend the band folded after that first Phil Anselmo record (yep that's right they CFH was the second and not first Phil fronted album). If that was the case nobody ever in the history of the world would spend a second on even mentioning the band. Cause it was just pure whack. You don't like what became of Pantera and how it sort of influenced Nu-Metal kind of and gave life to all the Disturbeds and shit? Fine. But you don't have to justify it by claiming their 80s work was actually good. That 80s version of the band doesn't really make any mark on that musical style of the time.

I fuck with some singles but not the discography, basically. Like I listened to Down since then and kinda enjoy a few tracks as well.
cowboys is the tape that holds up the best front to back, but honestly, theres only like ~15 tracks all told that are worth listening to across 4 albums (reinventing is garbage)

Nola is a 4.5 mic album and always will be, easily better than anything pantera did and the second best sludge anyone ever made. the rest of downs discography is gutter trash, dont bother

I can go on and on about Pantera, but I'll refrain. For a simplified take, Vulgar is number 1 to me. Far Beyond Driven last for the "true" Pantera era. I really dislike most of the songwriting on it even if it is very similar to what the band was doing just one album prior. Surprisingly, I don't mind Reinventing too much. Lyrically it's one note (not that I come to Phil for wisdom in his words, but the record is essentially about Pantera being Pantera and how they are gonna stay Pantera.) I mean Yesterday Don't Mean Shit I enjoy, but lyrically it's absolutely ignorant which of course isn't surprising given Phil's antics before and after this record. I like the production on Reinventing. Yeah I probably dig like 3/4ths of the album. Worst album cover art ever though? Maybe. I mean there is plenty of generic or cliche artwork out there, but something about this one is extra boneheaded.
For as rough as things were in the band leading up to TGST, I think that's my second favorite from them. Musically it has much more diversity that the two before it. Nice thick production. Phil exchanges his chest beating bark to a psycho wounded animal writhing in pain. I think the album closes out quite weakly, but I have a lot of love for that record.

Down- Seen them twice. Dumbest fucking crowd of roided up white trash ever. Pontiac, Michigan baby. Then I saw them some years later at a metal festival where Phil decided he was gonna go past their allotted time cause I'm fucking Phil Anselmo and what I say goes. I agree. The first Down record rips. Just wish there was more clarity on the vocals. Or maybe Phil just mumble/slurs too much in that style. One or the other. I also own their third record. Yeah it's not that great. The production on it is really flat. Three Suns and One Star is a great song though from  III.

Best thing is that I used to think Phl was a cool dude. His take on masculinity was appealing to me at like age 16. Then I saw a little more of him and was like "ehh... this is kind of bad what he's saying. White Pride stuff?!" I quickly reverted to my soyboy brand of masculinity. But yeah man. Nobody in those 90s crowds even questioned his shit which is nuts. Of course it comes to bite him in the ass in the era of Trump. I get that he isn't the most educated dude. That's not a reason to kick someone down for. It's when you don't try to become better. Case in point, Axl fucking Rose. I mean One in a Million? Phil never wrote lyrics as imbecilic and bigoted and those. But Axl also being a white trash simple boy put in the effort to better himself. Phil. He's out there blurting "white power" with the sieg heil for shits and giggles like a 4channer in the year 2016 or whatever.

I can go on and on about Pantera, but I'll refrain

Oh, whoops.

-----

Also wanted to touch on Alice in Chains. Big fan. From my perspective they have fallen off after having a great comeback initially. That's fine. At some point bands get old and the songwriting creativity just evaporates. No shame in that. You tour with your catalog that has plenty of great tunes. That's quite alright. Happens to nearly all bands that at one point were firing on all cylinders.
But yeah. That debut album. Very 80s underneath it all. Always said it and people kinda brush that aside. Just listen to the drums. The production on the drums reeks of 80s hair metal bands. It just does. I swear then even use that weird backmasking on the snare drum that was super popular for 80s hair metal bands. Think Scorpions song Rock You Like a Hurricane. It has that snare effect where it sounds like a big sweeping wind comes in before the drummer smacks the snare. I want to say before going into the final verse on that song. But anyways you will know what I mean when you hear it.
Yeah that first AiC album has a lot of hair metal aftertaste to it even though I would never classify it as that type of record. But it makes sense. They weren't a punk band. They weren't coming into the 90s with that sound mentality. they were coming in with 80s metal being what it was. And I think that debut record is strong. But right after that I think they really created a defining AiC sound starting with the SAP EP. Then Dirt is a completely sonically different sounding album compared to the debut. Jar of Flies? Probably my favorite EP ever. Straight up. By the time you get to the 3rd record (Tripod/self-titled/3 legged doge) you can tell things are wrong with Layne. His voice ain't the same. Lot's of doubling on his vocals or using an effect to sort of mask it. He's still strong vocally, but not at his 100%. It's sad. Jerry was a such a trooper for putting up with Layne's addiction. I mean it ended up tragically (and for Mike Starr too all those years later), but Jerry and the rest of the band stayed so respectful to him and giving him all the chances in the world to get himself together. Of course that didn't happen.

I hope I'm not misremembering but I don't recall him being alt-right or anything like that, he was always just a regular hillary voter who was annoyed by the army of bernie supporters online and also the pepe-pocalypse turning 2016 into (what was then) the worst election in human history. luckily for us 2020 is worse in every way
yeah, he’s definitely not himself alt-right. but he’s got that ‘everyone’s chance opinion deserves a hearing’ shtick that leads to him putting sargon and the million dollar extreme guy on and empathizing with them at the exact moment they probably shouldnt be empathized with. he’s anti-idpol without being socially conservative, adamant that people are worse off now than they should be because of corporate capture (this is where i think hes moved left since 2016), and a free speech warrior

hes since walked back his warmth toward sargon specifically (indicated that the initial warmth was there b/c of ‘authoritarianism on the left’ :lol) but i dont hate myself enough to wade through this beef. in any case, if anyone takes one glance at sargon and says to themselves ‘yeah this guy’s definitely worth listening to’, they are a total fucking rube

Just one little more nugget for Shosta.

For a popular band that fit well into the mainstream as a alt-funk/alt-rock/alt-metal band, Incubus could really stretch their arms out (is that an actual phrase or am I mixing things up. It's almost 1AM. Cut me some slack dammit).

they could do something like:

Summer Romance (https://youtu.be/U80VQpqWojU)

Sick Sad Little World (https://youtu.be/LZaogUD-g_4)

or 4th Movement of the Odyssey (https://youtu.be/A0N7_NJfs9U) (I don't recall if the tracks they wrote for the Halo 2 ost were actually used in-game. I don't think so? I know the Breaking Benjamin song was in the game. Speaking of bands I don't care for)

So I mean I understand if one doesn't like the band. I just don't think they are a soulless band that particularly should be derided. I think they moved into the "old band whose new material can't compare anymore" phase, but that's a separate thing.

Sorry, sorry. Sorry. I don't know why I'm getting so defensive.

OK so in the same vein as say, MILF's who wouldn't let go of the 80's flashing their tits at motley crue concerts, do emo MILFs exist? Are they a thing? And if so, where can I find them?

I always like how Dexter was some math nerd or whatever who was like "I enjoy punk rock the same way I enjoy doing math".  :)

Quote
Holland attended Pacifica High School in Garden Grove, California, where he graduated as class valedictorian in 1984. During high school, Holland was the best student in mathematics in his year, and he found it "just as exciting as punk rock."[4] He then attended the University of Southern California, where he earned a B.S. degree in biology and an M.S. degree in molecular biology, and was a candidate for a Ph.D. in molecular biology.[5] However, after the success of The Offspring, he suspended his candidature to focus on music. In an interview in 1995, Holland had said when he turns 40, he would rather be a professor at a university than play music.[4]

Holland was a doctoral student at the Laboratory of Viral Oncology and Proteomics Research, Keck School of Medicine, where he was supervised by Professor Suraiya Rasheed.[6] In March 2013, Holland and co-authors published a paper in PLoS One regarding microRNA in HIV genomes,[7] titled "Identification of Human MicroRNA-Like Sequences Embedded within the Protein-Encoding Genes of the Human Immunodeficiency Virus".[8] The original academic paper describes the use of computational molecular biological (in silico) approaches to identify microRNA-like sequences in HIV. These sequences are suggested to have evolved to self-regulate survival of the virus in the host by evading its immune responses and thus influence the persistence, replication, and pathogenicity of HIV. Holland was awarded his Ph.D. degree in molecular biology during the USC Commencement on May 12, 2017.[9][10]

The first rock band I got into was Muse. Before then I only listened to jazz, hip hop, r&b, soul. I was basically a normie black person when it came to music.

When I thought of rock music I thought of wack music like this.

https://youtu.be/xGytDsqkQY8

The most boring music on the planet.

Then a friend from the UK on a Squaresoft fansite kept talking about these bands. I wanted to know what the hype was. So around 2002/2003 I got into 00 rock. I thought most of it wasn't good tbh but found it interesting. I really, really liked Red Hot Chili Peppers. By the Way was a jam. And I started to really take a liking to punk. Mostly around 2003 when Joe Strummer died. I got into classics like The Clash. Still think the Ramones are amateur hour in compsrison. Eventually, as my music tastes developed I dumped it all and started listening to classic rock, which is still a mainstay over here. Rock from the 70's and 80's is still considered an ol' reliable for me. The equivalent of a PB&J sandwich.

I still really like Muse though. The Origin of Symmetry era - the one that got me into them - was beyond rad. I still love the album.

https://youtu.be/wBlcOR3WMAU

https://youtu.be/9o6Ga3Nad3s

I'm not big on the post-OoS/Hullabaloo era.

These days I'd listen to Radiohead, Placebo, or Alice in Chains instead though, but it's still my opinion that 90's rock was the beginning of the genres twilight.

Full confession: I never really got grunge. I know it's sacrilege but I don't "get" Soundgarden beyond their singles and vastly prefer Smashing Pumpkins. If it counts, some of the few alt rock acts I fuck with are Sonic Youth, Pixie's, and subgenres like shoegaze. But grunge. I don't get it. It's a wannabe metal. Hell, it's even considered a metal subgenre and I still don't get it.

My 00 sins:

My friend that got me into Muse was REALLY info a band called Feeder. I liked them. I went back to them the other year and think they're trash. Odd experience going back to music you liked and hating it.

https://youtu.be/Zc1ljqKNEMk

As a metal fan, I have to admit the idea of most alt rock is utterly repulsive. Sufjan Stevens doesn't count  though does he? *Holds copy of Illinoise tightly*

I listened to my local alt rock station the other month and the whole "I'm playing soft and building up to a very loud chorus" thing is still a thing. Such a horrific genre for lowlifes. Then they got the gall to wonder why rock isn't popular anymore. Nevermind how alt rock is even considered "alt" in 2020. An alternative to what?

The real question is where we place bands like Metric? :tocry

Late 90's Early 2000's pop punk is music that I didn't really like much at the time, but whenever I hear it I get a lot of nostalgia tings since that was such a fond era for me and it takes me back.

That early to mid 2000's emo was hugely popular around here (Brand New and Taking Back Sunday are both from the island) but I never got into it. My girlfriend was a huge fan of that kinda stuff and like... I just can't recognize any songs or any bands, none of them were really memorable for me. I couldn't even recognize a Nickelback or a Foo Fighters song either tbh.

2000's was the decade when, thanks to fast internet connections, sirius XM, joining forums and discussion groups for my favorite styles of music, the death of MTV, friends' whose music tastes stagnated and stayed in the 90's, I got pretty isolated from anything non-electronic.

Early 2000s I was mainly listening to and spinning prog:

Mid 2000s I was listening to and spinning electro:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nlehQxMRIvQ

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j4mp2kl5C7I

I tried to get into minimal techno since around 2007-2008 you couldn't escape that stuff. I binged on it to try and find stuff I liked and ended up with very few tracks. Such as these (even though Solomun is a punchline nowadays):

Then the end of the decade was when minimal finally died out and deep/tech house got big, I fell hard for this and still love it.

Not to mention, at the end of the decade, electronic music was finally starting to get popular in the states. People wouldn't look at me all confused when I told them what I liked anymore...  though the first half of the 2010's is when the stuff really peaked in the states - Deadmau5, Avicii, Skrillex, Calvin Harris, David Guetta, Martin Garrix, etc.
