Cataloging Terrible Bands That Were Around When I Was An Angry Teenager

well

read the lyrics to a death grips song

any death grips song

they are straightforward, direct, occasionally humorous, and fun! there isn't much in the way of attempts at grand, unifying ideals or commentary beyond the odd bit of punk-ish "fuck everything" attitude.


in terms of the music as a whole, there is a strong emphasis on memorable hooks, and the songs tend to stick within the 3-4 minute range. i will grant that the instrumentation is oftentimes ornate and weird, but it's no more so than say, Kate Bush can be at times.

i mean, you could call it pretentious if you wanted to, but any set of criteria that would lump them as pretentious would grab almost every band under the sun.

id type more but i gots a job interview in a sec

I think the difference between you and I is that you are living in a world where Kate Bush is evidently a pop princess.

Don't mind me, I'm just salty that someone earlier today told me I "must hate music" because I haven't listened to To Pimp a Butterfly yet.

I listened to TPAB and it was good and this was still a stupid thing to say to me.

There was a long period where SA and the internet at large thought this style of humor was funny.

shit bands i liked as an angry teen:

* Rammstein

* Pendulum

* Later KMFDM

* Combichrist

Speaking of edgelord bands that I liked, did you like Powerman 5000 too?

amendment: KMFDM are actually pretty ok

also Powerman 5000 isn't really edgelord? they do self-conscious goofy b-movie sci-fi songs

'humor'

it's literally just contrarianism

like even if you really do hate all those albums, there's no wit in there

(talking about sa noone here)

not that I liked them at that age

But you can't say that without inviting the defense of "it's there, you just can't see it because you don't like the things being said".

hmph

well if they're getting a laugh out of it i guess that's what matters

Odradek

They aren't, mostly they just get angry.

Tachyon

I think this bit was funny:

I love rock and roll more than life itself, of course, but I don’t think there’s ever been a single good rock and roll band or album. There may have been a few good songs, but I can’t think of them offhand. It’s just a good concept that’s never been executed properly.

Odradek

That is funny, actually.

I would say that the Marquee Moon blurb angers me, except that's exactly what he wants out of me, so I guess I'll just go sulk in the corner for a bit.

Section42L

also, I was scrolling back on the previous posts in this thread, so I have to ask:

Why did Muse do a Smiths cover?

Tachyon

Muse seem to like doing odd/unexpected covers

thinking mainly of Feeling Good, Can't Take My Eyes Off You, Popcorn here

Tachyon

oh and Mon Coeur S'Ouvre a ta Voix

that was unexpected, albeit not a complete cover

u wot m8

pendulum are very eehhhhhh. watered down sorta dnb

that said if im drunk at the party and someone puts tarantula on i am still dancing to that

Tachyon

tbf probably if you're into the genre, i'm not massively, never have been

but Tarantula and the Voodoo People remix were the songs that got me interested in dnb in the first place, i can't dislike them

Odradek

Anything other than Kvlt underground avant-garde doom death screamo grindcore trap mixtape is absolute shit, and you're stupid if you like it.

okay nevermind I did say that I didn't think Pendulum was bad

Pendulum is gr9
