Princess Alice

Were you teenage Centie?

Alduin

Did teenage Centie sing Boulevard of Broken Dreams and Somewhere I Belong ad nauseum because they identified with them?

Princess Alice

I, uh, plead the fifth on that one

Salix Babylonika

of these, I'd say only Limp Bizkit, Nickelback, and MSI were actually bad

MissUtilis

showing you how unorthodox I am, I associate Simple Plan with What's New, Scooby-Doo?

Fall Out Boy's just sort of average-mediocre and Linkin Park got way better as time went on

Salix Babylonika

I will say Mike Shenoda's solo work is miles ahead of anything Linkin Park ever did

Alduin

I do like some of FOB's stuff, by the by

Say what you will about mashups as a medium, but DJ Pegasus is brilliant.

shit band

Hey, Combichrist and Rammstein have their moments.  They ain't deep, but I wouldn't class them as "shit", personally :D

Obā-san

why does rammstein need like 3 guitarists to play one incredibly monotonous riff for 4 minutes straight

at least goofy deathcore bands have changes in tempo and breakdowns and blast beats to prop up their endless chugging

Salix Babylonika

Rammstein is a band I can tell you nothing about, but I can tell you plenty of things about the kind of person who is proud to be  Rammstein fan

PatchAwful

I think I need to clean up my mp3 player

I have songs and albums on that from when I was 14

One of these days someone's gonna see that and mistake 14 year old me for 24 year old me

Odradek

Rammstein was in a David Lynch movie once.

Corvina

In my teenage years I exclusively listened to classical music. I had a friend who also listened to Rammstein. He turned out to be a manipulative asshole.

Obā-san

i listened to rammstein because it was ZOMG SO HEAVY

once you listen to slam rammstein doesnt sound very heavy

Odradek

I feel outcast on this forum, because I am not into underground avant-garde doom death screamo grindcore trap mixtapes.

sunn wolf

sunn wolf

sunn wolf

Obā-san

Odradek

muse fan: oh my god oh mygodohmygod

Odradek

I am superior to all of you, because I don't bother disliking bands.

buttercrispy

Good Charlotte was one of the first bands that wasn't a Christian band I listened to. Teenage rebellion, listening in the garage with a friend who introduced them to me so my mom wouldn't hear.

PatchAwful

Ever heard a band that doesn't really do anything for you but just makes you think 'wow I wish I heard this when I was 15, 15 year old me would be way into this'

This has happened a lot to me recently. Am I getting old?

PatchAwful

Oh yeah, the Darkness' Christmas song.

There's a bunch of bands that I only ever think of in December because they recorded one Christmas song that gets endlessly repeated that time of year. Weird to think of the Darkness becoming one of them, but I guess it was inevitable

We may be getting old, but I usually chuck them onto a playlist and send 'em to the angsty 15 year olds I know.

That is a brilliant idea and as the sister of an angsty 15 year old I'm totally stealing it

Rammstein sound good to me for about 30 seconds and then I get bored with them.

I hate how massively overrated "Creep" is since Radiohead have other material I think is actually good.

I remember being rather dismissive of pop music in general back in the late 1990s and early 2000s....my brother was a big reason, as he listened to a lot of what would now be oldies (70s and 80s pop) and downbeat alt-rock. I didn't really even know what was going on in the pop world again until 2009-2010 and Todd in the Shadows.

Alduin

Oh shit, I forgot my brief Korn phase when I was 12.

My Angry Teenager Playlist:

*My Chemical Romance

*Simple Plan

*Evanescence

*Green Day

*Lady Gaga

*Avril Lavigne

*Fall Out Boy

*Muse

Yeah, I went through the "emo" phase when I was 13/14. I threw in some Lady Gaga to try and convince people that I was not an emo. 

Note: Out of the above list, only Simple Plan and Fall Out Boy are not currently on my iPod, but I listen to them on YouTube.

I also had Girls Aloud on my iPod. That's embarrassing.

This thread reminds me of things I would rather forget.
