Is going to be leaving behind all of that emo type music. You know the kind that you listen to yearning to finally be out of high school so you can have fun or whatnot? I was just listening to "Ocean Avenue" and realizing that once I am in the real world and realizing that I am not really that important, I would be able to listen to music like that anymore, and I'll have to listen to stuff like The Pillows.

Err, what are songs/bands you won't be able to listen to after high school?
Blink 182, Dashboard Confessional, Simple Plan :shifty:

Hmmm...
Well, you may not be able to relate to those songs after high school, BUT when you do listein to them (after high school), it will likely bring back memories.
Maybe after hearing Blink 182 when your 30, poignant memories will run through your mind concerning you teenage years.
I guess there is a reason why people in their 50's or 60's still only listein to the music from their youth; It brings back memories, and at their age, it may be all they have left.
I'm just lucky that when I was in high school, rock music was actually rocking with grunge and the whole alt-rock nation.
Teens today grow up with the pussified shit, rock music with no edge.

Yeah, Grunge and alt were the bleeding edge of music. :roll:

Fact is in my time you had Nirvana, the pumpkins, pearl jam, soundgarden, live, and some other top notch shit going down, and hitting the charts. The charts have basically sucked since. Todays music that does hit highly on the charts seems to suck ass. There are still some happening bands out there today, yet they dont interest the fickle minds of todays youth.
Back in my day teens didnt care about cell phones, fashion(we wore shredded jeans and anything else you could get cheap) we weren't puppets to a mass marketing plan aimed at assimilating all the sheep.
I'll take Pearl Jam to Hoobastank any day of the week. I'll take alice in chains to sum41 any day of the week. Face it: rock music has gotten watered down. You see it everywhere. On the mtv awards shows now, at least back then they'd allow bands like soundgarden and pearl jam to play..now we get rock acts like freakin simple plan and blink. blahhhh.
It's a shame.

YEah, because pop clones of "your" times were good, whereas pop clones today suck.
Come on, Cobain's look was heavily fucking marketed, you retard. Grunge was a safe commercial rebellion.

Whoever said that rock music as gotten worse, you're wrong. Perhaps mainstream rock has taken a downfall, but as far as underground goes, beack in "your day" there was no underground, thus, the underground of today is far better.
And also, you can't say all high school kids listen to pussy shit. I'm in high school and I listen to Burzum, Uruk-Hai, Emperor, Mayhem, etc.
Varg would have stabbed any of your grunge singers in a second.

His cry is of those too stupid to look around. They end up doing one of two things: They either worship the new crap, or lament how there's nothing good on MTV anymore.
The majority of the history of MTV is crap anyway. However, the beautiful thing is that these days, we don't NEED MTV. It'd be nice if more decent bands got on the major scene, but there's plenty of good shit if you're willing to look.
Then again, most alt/rock was watered down pussy shit anyway, so he should feel right at home with newer "rock."

I'm at Uni and I've only just started to get into emo.

The music in the end meant something though, it wasn't watered down. All these bands take the style, and rip it apart. Nickelback? Creed? Three doors down? Gimme a break. Same thing with Seether.
And at the time, it was the media who looked for something to label it. The bands didn't go out of their way to just go with it. In fact they did everything they could to avoid the limelight. Hence Pearl Jam stopped going to huge venues, releasing music videos..all that jazz.
BTW, to the guy who said there was no underground back in the day. WTF?
Most everything was underground. A few bands made it big, but you still had sonic youth, the pixies, mudhoney, the melvins, tad..none of those bands made it huge.
Kane Knight
08-15-2004, 01:27 AM
The Pixies never made it huge because, while they came out with the sound first, they were said to be a ripoff of Nirvana.
As for the music meaning something, that's the same argument the Linkin Park Retards would give. What makes you any different?

The diff here is that other credible artists actually cite Nirvana as huge influences to them. Their peers like cornell and vedder, and bands before them, even mccartney, have praised them. When those guys are doing that, you dont doubt their impact and worth and validity. Linkin Park on the other hand..please..let's not even go there.
I should smack you like the guy in my sig for that insinuation.

Sorry, "grunge" doesn't give me many contemporaries to think any better than nu metal.
And a former Beatle? Hell, members of Queen have praised boys bands, doesn't mwan I give them more credibility.
Dumb fuck.
Steve tyler worked with Pink. Brian May endorsed 5ive. Bowie's backed a ton of pop acts.
So yeah, celebrity endorsements mean shit to me. You're a moron if they mean anything to you.

If a beatle can admit to Cobains talents, then you certainly should at least see some reason here. Are you denying the fact that grunge was the last viable scene if you will in music?
That was the best music of the past 20 years. Easily.

If your tastes and interest grow in life, sometimes you realize that you no longer find the shit you listened to to be interesting.
Then again, I'm generally not big on nostalgia.
