I've shared this (ongoing) story twice now so i'll make it short
>Friend listens to awful EDM bullshit (shit of the Proximity Youtube channel
>Only likes feel good shit
>More pleb than the top 40 warriors in a way
>Show him tons of music - Squarepusher, 808 State, Luke Vibert
>"what is this hipster shit?"
>Think he might like Feed Me
>"no"
>Show him Mac Demarco randomly
>He literally only plays Mac Demarco everysingle day (plays 2 and Salad Days religiously)
>I's been about 3 months since I introduced him to Mac
>He said to me a while ago "I never thought I'd be a hipster"
>He's a complete fucking retard incase you're not convinced but he's good company

>>51579124
It sort of does though. I know being contrary is fun and all that, but you can't deny the impact it had. Perhaps saying it "defined" the 90s is too strong, but if you're going to do a presentation about 90s music it would make sense to have in there.

>>51579213
>Presentation about the 90s
>Not playing second-wave black metal
Is this kid retarded?

>Talking with friend
>Music comes up
>He makes fun of me because I don't like 80's music that much

I can't hear most of my friends talk about music. they mostly love 80's glam metal

>>51578616

Good god what.

>>51579144
That's just painful.

How about a pleb story about headphones?

>know a qt
>she's really into music (though sadly it's tumblrcore trash, i let it go since shes a qt)
>calls me one day about getting some headphones
>asks me what i think the best pair for under $50
>she just wants some simple in ear ones
>i say Sennheiser since I have just a cheap pair of those and they sound alright
>she asks about Skullcandy and Beats
>"no those are trash, you can do better for cheaper"
>she says "but i want the brand"
>try to nicely and subtly say she can do better and they'll break easy
>she wants the brand and buys it
>they fuck up two weeks later
>now she just uses shitty iPod ones

>>51579498
that's terribly annoying. Skullcandy are such shit and overpriced as fuck yet tons of people buy them.

>teacher let him stand there for 45 minutes rattling on

bollocks

when we had a thing like that in english class, the class autist got in 8 minutes explaining his headcanon for his fantasy novel before the teacher had to lead him back to his seat. there's no way that guy was allowed to stand there for 45 minutes going on about memegrunge

>>51579625

how does it feel that the first wave of skullcandy scene kids are now 18-20 and browsing /mu/? i was one once. i was never convinced that they sounded good, although i was for some reason convinced that the gold-and-black went nicely with my silver hoodie and green jeggings

>>51579741
>silver hoodie and green jeggings

i hope you've discovered /fa/ since then, you need a lot of help fashion wise if you ever thought that was cool.

>>51579705
You wouldn't believe what happens in some high schools. I had this school shooter personality kid in my spanish class who did a 30 minute spanish presentation about how much he liked Dragon Ball Z. The kid was like 5 feet tall and got suspended for a long time because he had a death note thing with names in it that they thought was a hit list.

>>51579777

nah now i don't really give a shit about fashion, just plain tshirts or band tshirts and jeans, /fa/ fashion is mad expensive and way too much effort for me. also it was the "it's just who i am!!" scene phase; my scene kid friends were actually way worse. one of them had 24 oral piercings.

>>51579830
How in the fuck can you fit that many piercings in your mouth?
We had this scene kid who went complete hick and has huge gauged ears that he doesn't wear anything in so they just droop and it looks stupid as fuck.

>>51579872

you can easily fit that many piercings in your mouth, you just gotta believe in the power of dahvie vanity's angelic presence

and yeah i see lots of those stretched ears now.. mostly on former scene kids who became "TRUE HARDCORE!! HATEMOSH" types and pushed their ears to like 40mm but with no jewellery. also tons of them who got their plugs torn out in one of those limp-wristed hardcore kid moshpits so now they just have two huge lobe-flaps slapping them in the cheek as they walk

>>51579830
I always found that scene shit hilarious. They were all trying to flaunt how unique and different they were but all had the exact same music taste and fashion. And every scene girl did the whole p3nguin of le doom thing too.

>>51579741

Why? They already know what you look like

<good guitar
<favorite band is nirvana

I like them too, but the guitar playing is certainly far from the top list of reasons why.

>>51579965

also does that girl natalie still post here?

>death note thing
this seems to be a staple of autist internet stories but I just have trouble believing it. What compels these edgy kids to write all these names in fucking notebooks when nothing actually comes of it?

>>51580084
>tfw dating all those emotionally damaged qt's with daddy issues and shit in highschool

It was the ultimate time for getting laid bro. Scene girls were always the easiest because od the special snowflake shit and the whole YOLO thing (even though YOLO wasn't a thing yet).

alright i posted >>51579929 as a joke but then this guy >>51580032 comes in and gets actually creepy

>>51580084

same except for the fact that i had an infected tongue piercing. do you know what that feels like? hint: it's not fun

>>51580107
bc it's the main plot point of the manga/anime. kid picks up a note that lets him kill people by writing a name in it because some death god follows him round i think.. it's been years since i read that though

>>51580050
Rock mag lists always list Cobain as one of the best guitarists ever just because Nirvana are super popular and he's the one who played guitar, but Cobain really did have a distinctive style of playing. I ALWAYS know when I'm listening to Kurt Cobain play guitar, like Tony Iommi or David Gilmour. He wasn't a great guitarist, and there's a thousand metal guitarists who can technically play better than him, but he had his own style.

>>51580000
quad 0s the binary apocalypse is upon us.
But seriously, how can someone be sheltered that much. Like I get if you aren't into the culture or anything but references are everywhere, and there was a movie recently that was heavily promoted.

>>51580119
>It was the ultimate time for getting laid bro.

nah thats after high school

>>51580107
Look I have no fucking idea. The kid was beyond weird. To give an example, he stole my friends pencil every day. My friend never spoke to him, never made a friendly gesture at him, no contact at all. Eventually he called him out on it and he said "You got me!" and dumped a bag of penicls out on his desk. it was going on for months.

I cant get the thoughts of gay anal sex out of my head when this song plays though.

>>51580184
Not really. After highschool things slow down and you just end up dating and not really caring about sex at all. I honestly don't even fap or watch porn as much as I used to, I maybe only do once a week or less.

I'd honestly pick listening to music over sex or fapping any day.

>I was talking to this indian about music and I ask him if he likes folk punk
>He said didn't know what that was
>I said "okay"

Do I fit in yet?

I bought Skullcandys for my gf as a gift when we were ~15 and scenekids. Good times. She still uses them in emergency-situations though, so they still work.

>>51580204
That's actually pretty funny.

>>51580243
Are you in college? I;m in college and not to sound like a brofag or something, but sex is really easy. Maybe cause I'm in a big liberal arts college.

>>51580243
I agree, i dont even really get excited about sex anymore

>>51580260

i'd use mine as throaways but they are the shiniest shiny-gold texture you could possibly imagine

>>51580280
Yep. I get that sex is easy but I'm more interested in actual long term relationships and actually having someone rather than just banging a lot of different women.

>>51580134
I'm aware of the plot of death note. My point is, if anyone ever asked these kids about them, their only choices would be to say "my death note doesn't work" or "yeah I pretend to have a death note because that's cool." It seems stupid to do it all in the first place.
>>51580257
he was pretending because folk-punkers are annoying as shit (according to my experience with like two of them)
>>51580260
My dad bought me them when I was in highschool. They broke after a few months, but you get full credit for their online store when it happens. For this reason I have been cycling through sets of them for years and am still a semi-proud owner of skullcandy headphones for emergenciesq

>>51580000
>I go to school with a girl that hadn't heard of Star Trek

That's just impossible.

On the subject of overlong/strange presentations, we had to do presentations for a literature class once; basically just writing an essay in the form of a powerpoint or whatever. Anyway, this girl did hers on The Stranger, right? But she brought a boombox to play a loop of "Wake Me Up Inside" throughout. Her presentation was easily 45 minutes long.

>>51580366
I went to highschool with a guy who thought that Star Trek 09 was the only ST, hadn't seen it because he assumed it was a Star Wars ripoff, and hadn't heard of any of its characters.

>>51580357
>folk-punkers are annoying as shit
I was acting causal and not sperging out but he did seem tense and nervous.

>my -BANDMATE-

i need to get a new band

>>51579949
No one should hear Metallica, so that's half-good.

>>51580262
Another good story.
We were doing this assignment and the weird kid sat across from us, because the desks were divided all weird. Anyway he wasn't in our group or anything, in fact he was sitting alone. He just starts giggling under his breath. A really attractive girl sparts freaking out because her phone that was on her desk was gone. I see a pink iphone poking out of his pocket. Eventually he places it back where he found it without anyone noticing. but when she opened it her selfie gallery was open.

The weird thing is he just kinda disappeared one day. Nothing was said and he just kinda never showed up again. Nobody knows what happened to him.

Good fucking god that Dragon Ball Z powerpoint in spanish set to dragonball z soundtrack though. I still don't understand what that was.

>>51580398

why's it so surprising to you guys that someone wouldn't know how many star trek series there are? if you've never looked into that stuff then you obviously wouldn't know. i couldn't tell you when the original star trek came out or how many episodes or movies or whatever there are.. bc i've never been interested in it

>>51580471
I guess. But it's a little strange that someone had never heard of it in the first place, don't you think?

>>51580471
Well you would at least have an idea that it's not new. Idk most people seem to know it's an older series.

>>51580398
Shit like this blows my mind. I'm an oldfag (33) and when I was in high school, everyone was familiar with all major aspects of pop culture at least relating to the 20th century. Even if you hadn't seen a Humphrey Bogart movie, you still knew who he was.

We got this new 19 year old girl at work who never heard of Mick Jagger. Is it a millennial thing?

>>51580471
I don't really know shit about Star Trek but I know there are a tonne of movies from the 70s and then the 90s and the recent ones. And of course the old TV show from the 60s.

They didn't even find out through pop culture references? Even the second episode of Family Guy's first season did a Star Trek reference heavily.

>Yep. I get that sex is easy but I'm more interested in actual long term relationships and actually having someone rather than just banging a lot of different women.

Same situation p. much. Don't have a strong sex drive and sleeping with someone who I don't like just isn't appealing anymore.

>>51580491
ehh maybe, honestly i only know of it because my dad watched/watches it. if he didn't, i'd probably only know that something by the name star trek existed at some point in time, but nothing else.

>>51580521
probably, there's a lot of media out there. if you're just not into tv shows/films/etc (like me) you would have no way of really knowing these things. i could act equally surprised that my friends haven't heard aphex twin or something

>>51580418
Alright cool.
Those kids still piss me off though.
>have one in 12th grade english class
>he starts humming an AJJ song
>I ask him which of their albums it's from
>"It's a song by Andrew Jackson Jihad buddy"
>I'm aware of that
>he looks at me like he doesn't believe me
>couple of weeks later, he's talking to some other kids about music
>comes up to me and asks if I've ever heard of "crust punk"
>tell him yes
>He says he likes it because "It's like folk-punk except the songwriter never showers and he gets all crusty. It's definitely the most fun kind of punk"
>Just say "yeah definitely, it's great"
>Later hear him talking shit about the Ramones for not being punk enough
Fuck that guy.
>>51580429
I'm pretty sure I'm a total weeb but ok
>>51580471
My implication is that this guy had not heard of Star Trek at all until 2009. That should not be believable.

>>51580561
Same feel bro. Just a little while ago I spent the night with my qt gf just listening to music and watching an old TV show we love.

Not to say we don't still bang like crazy though, we've broken my bed twice, but I'm just saying it's nice to have a closeness like that with someone. Love is pretty fucking great and in no way overrated.

>>51580561
I don't like saying friend with benefits cause that sounds sleazy, but honestly it's working out well. She's into somewhat kinky but not weird stuff so it's usually pretty fulfilling.

>>51580611

>My implication is that this guy had not heard of Star Trek at all until 2009.

occasionally these things happen :/ i hadn't heard of frozen until like two months ago

>>51580630
Any chance of a real relationship there though bro? It can take a damaging turn if you stop doing it or one of you finds somebody. I'm not trying to discourage you, I'm just saying becareful.

>>51580619
>Love is pretty fucking great and in no way overrated.
right now.
savor it.

>>51580619
I honestly wish I knew how to have a relationship. I can't click with anyone because I can't get over shallow appearance issues, but I want someone who is deep and interesting, and I have no idea where to begin to fix it. I'd say I'm reasonably attractive, like a 7, but I don't seem to be able to relate with most people on a relationship level. idk any suggestions?

>>51580611
You should have made him a mix of your favorite GG Allin songs.

We have flirted with the idea, but I honestly it's like she doesn't want the commitment, but she's with me if that makes sense? We aren't really dating, because neither of us want to say it, for whatever fucking reason, but we kinda are in a relationship.

>>51581004
I thought you said you didn't listen to pop.

>>51581033
I don't use pop in the sense classical music fans use it ;^)

>>51581004
So when does the actual music start?

>>51581045
no, you're worse than them

>>51581108
Classical music fans disregard entire genres as pop.

I disregard bands, not genres unless it's shitty genres such as metal, crunk, and so on.

>>51581115
>being this pretentious

>>51581115
They disregard entire genres because they fit the definition of "pop music," and it's not even necessarily disregard because they fit the wikipedia definition of "pop music" in a non-derogatory way
"pop music" for you just means "bands I don't like" because you are THAT committed to not liking "pop" without having to listen to classical

>>51581167
Pop music to me are bands that are popular, and it so happens that most pop music is simple with catchy melodies and generally upbeat sounds.

There's plenty of stuff I don't like that I don't consider pop music.

>>51581209
>>51581209
>popular, catchy, with upbeat sounds
I listened to Freak Out! the other day.

wow anon, you seem to have a really informed opinion that is clearly founded upon a profound interest in the compositional value of a piece of music which you clearly understand deeply.
Yep, you're clearly a real knowledgeable guy who both knows a lot about music history, theory and culture.

>>51581535
Why are black people so pleb? Even when it's good hip hop, they hate it and want awful shit. And lawdy lawdy forbid you play any other black music besides hip hop, because it's white music.
Jazz? White music. Blues? White music. Ragtime? White music. Soul? White music. Funk? White music.
Seriously, I don't get it. Even the non-ghetto, college blacks do this shit.
