I'm sure many of you who, much like myself, believe we've matured a lot over the course of our lives, might be able to relate to this anecdote.
My first real experience truly enjoying music was with Green Day's American Idiot. I remember, it must have been 2006 or 2007 -- my older brother came home with the CD, rented from the public library, with cracks in the jewel case, hiding it from mom to show me the explicit content label and explain to me that Green Day's name is a reference to marijuana and that "this CD has the f-word in it." We popped it in the old laptop and burned the CD, all the while fearful that the government would track us down and arrest us for burning a CD we checked out from the library.
Weeks later, I was still obsessively listening to the album. I remember inviting my friend Aaron over to play LEGOs and putting on "American Idiot" saying "wait for it... wait for it... he's gonna say the f-word real soon!" The library's scratched copy had a skip in "Homecoming" right before the "Jimmy die-yed, too-day" section, and now every time I hear the song it just sounds wrong without it (it doesn't help that my brother would always insist that the song was /supposed/ to have that skip in it).
A few years later, I began my descent into music for real. I started getting into bands that I thought were so profound (Nirvana, Weezer, Stone Temple Pilots, etc.) and getting deeper and deeper into indie music, getting more and more pretentious as I went along. Feeling that I needed to mature, I absolutely spurned and rejected American Idiot. I would repeatedly tell people of how much I hated the album, how stupid and meaningless and cheesy it was, how I once almost bought a copy from a second-hand store just to smash it on the ground (seriously). It was a rite of passage to hate American Idiot. I needed to do it to grow up.

Green Day wasn't cool and they still aren't cool. But, what I've been finding recently is that the next step in musical maturity (and just general maturity) is to reject notions of what is and what is not cool and listen to -- genuinely -- whatever it is that sounds right, feels right, or has whatever energy you might need in the moment. I discovered this when, at work, I heard the song "Asthenia" by my most hated band, Blink-182, and fell in love with the cadence of Tom's voice, the post-hardcore structure, and the (literally unbeatable, I'd like a counterexample if you have one) bass tone. I decided to go through Blink's discography and found much to love.
To continue the pattern, I went back to American Idiot for the first time in years. I had heard that a film about the album (Heart Like A Hand Grenade) was actually really good from a friend of mine, and with an open mind watched the film and realized that, deep down somewhere in the id, I still love the album, and I'm not ashamed to admit it. In fact, since Green Day is and was so uncool, I'd convinced myself that I hated the album's sentiment, tone, and sound, but in coming back to it, I've found that not only is it extremely well constructed with powerful, energetic, and SMART lyricism, it is ABSOLUTELY CURRENT. People right now, in this day in age, really, really should be able to vibe with American Idiot. Like, I think many people NEED this album right now. It's arguably more poignant in 2016 than it was in 2004 when it sold those millions of copies.
I urge you all to do two things:
1. If you're feeling lost in our country or struggling with any identity crisis, I recommend you listen front -to-back American Idiot and pay attention to what he says and how he says it.
2. Take another look at your childhood favorites and give an honest, open-minded judgement. Eliminate the phrase guilty pleasure from your vocabulary.
Also, Billie Joe seems like a really cool dude. With that I digress. Thoughts?

this is the mark of a tryhard retard. things like this just stifle your taste in music in arbitrary ways. You were pretty much what this board is right now.
>I needed to do it to grow up
no you didn't. maximum cringe.
At least you came to your senses by the end.
For indie rock / general music, I go to Pitchfork.
For experiential music, I go to tinymixtapes.
For house / techno, I go to Resident Advisor.
For hip-hop, I should go to... ?

Hey, I recorded a short audio of me singing a piece of pure narcotic of porcupine tree.
Would be awesome if you can leave a critique of what do u think of my singing
Thanks.

I can notice you've never had training since your control is pretty bad, you're not using your diaphragm.
>>69766725
Thanks for respoding.
I've never had any training, what do you mean by control, and what exercises should I do to improve it?
>>69766725
This desu. I don't like negatively criticising people because it sounds like you enjoy singing, but you are not singing from your stomach, you're just kind of breathing out the lyrics. Next time you try singing, for practice, do it standing up, back straight, shoulders back, and try to really feel the emotion of the words.
Post an underrated Bowie track.
