Had /mu/ existed in the 80's would he have been a shitposter

i used to hate him until sonic youth praised him

am i a drone

>>70090201
How the fuck are we supposed to know that? Fuck you

>>70090201
I can picture him being more of a lurker.

>>70090201
Yes. He'd have posted the then-obscure bands he liked in rec threads, he'd complain about synthpop and glam metal sucking, and he'd have shilled Bleach.

I think he would, yeah.

>>70090236
yeah, and he would deny coming here like he pretended his first concert wasn't van halen

>>70090201
No. He would have a tumblr though.

>>70090245
This.
He would also make a bandcamp threads all the fucking day.

>>70090201
well if we had internet in the 80s his music career wouldn't have existed

I imagine he would talk about Daniel Johnston a lot.

and later, people would treat Nevermind like they treat Blurryface now, which would be a minor contributing factor in his suicide

>>70090201
No, he'd think 4chan is "the big bad" like most liberals of his type do.

>>70090201
him? no. courtney would in secret tho

His first concert was probably Kiss, he had their logo painted on the side of his tour bus.

>>70090201
nah , he wouldn't have got on well here.

Have you seen all the stuff he wrote about hating jocks and cheerleaders?

He probably would have found /r9k/ and never even bothered to make anything.

I lurk here from time to time, sure.

"And I'd just like to remind you all. If any of you hate women, homosexuals, or people of color, then stay the fuck away from us. Don't buy our music and don't come to our shows."

He would've probably posted on /daily/.

It has more to do with the fact that it is an obvious attempt to illicit cheers and support for the band. I'll admit is jarring when your listening to live event that just a second ago was far from politicized.

No, he was easily offended and likes to portray himself as someone that "fought for the rights of the oppressed"
He was a lot more suited to Facebook and Twitter.

When did he say he was liberal? Genuinely asking because as far as I know he's never made his political views known. He has stated opinions on certain issues, I guess, but I don't remember him saying he was liberal.

Nevermind [DGC, 1991]

After years of hair-flailing sludge that occasionally achieved song form on singles that no normal person ever heard, Seattle has finally produced some proper post-punk in the person of resident genius Kurt Cobain. Riff-verse-bad solo-chord change, the kind of sloppy, tuneful music that represents what hard rock was generally understood to be before metal moved in. They make it seem so simple, and it's a shame the lesson will all be forgotten again in a few years. A-

I'm not disputing whether he was an SJW or not, just whether he was a liberal or not.

>>70096964
Is Nirvana really considered edgy? I can only name one song that could be said to be edgy. I do understand most of their fanbase consists of 13 year olds

>>70096999
nice trips, I think the line is kind of blurred. there weren't and still aren't really any far left candidates for a lot of SJWs to get behind so they just say they don't have convictions, but they likely would if there were candidates that represented their beliefs

>>70096996
from someone that hunts liberals on the internet that's hilarious

Simmons and Stanley were among those interviewed in "The Decline of Western Civilization: The Metal Years", but since when have Kiss ever been metal? I think most people would consider them as hard rock.

>>70097806
I always thought so too. Hard rock is blues based and usually has power chords, not riffs, also it doesn't have sci-fi or fantasy subjects. Metal usually also relies on various scales found in classical music like Aeolian and Dorian. Hard rock usually has blues scales, and tends to stick with 4/4 time while metal can have odd time signatures.

Kiss are definitely hard rock, their music doesn't have the technical complexity of metal or go off of basic 4/4 time, also they seldom used riffs. Their heyday in the mid-70s was a boomtime for hard rock, incidentally--Kiss, Aerosmith, BTO, Montrose, Rick Derringer, etc.

>>70096800

>>70098518
nirvana isnt punk though

>>70090222
Sonic Youth sucks too anon

No, and Kurt never claimed such either.

"Punk rock is dead and buried. We're just giving it a proper funeral and honoring its memory as best we can."

>>70097990
>Kiss are definitely hard rock, their music doesn't have the technical complexity of metal or go off of basic 4/4 time, also they seldom used riffs

Correct. Ace Frehley was no shredder and Paul Stanley was strictly a chord guy. Classic Kiss rarely had riff-driven songs and the few they did do (like Parasite) were Ace's compositions, not Paul's.

>For a long time I had this theory: the impossibility of a female Kurt Cobain. What he represents, leaning against the system and yet supported by consumers, there was no woman in the world that could command the masses so utterly. The music industry wouldn't let her. This thing I've been stewing about since I saw Grimes play to 20 people in 2011, and started reading her Tumblr, and then really starting feeling when "Oblivion" came out, is that Claire is the closest thing we have to a female Kurt Cobain, smart enough to understand the system but righteous enough to wall-jump away from it. But also, interestingly, what an inversion her approach is to Kurt's. His pose was anti-establishment, her pose is post-structural. He was rigorous, she is always looking outward, game for genre-experimentation and hilarity. I feel like even if I don't like her music, and I do so far, I will always feel like she's several steps ahead of me, several books ahead of me, and that makes me feel really fucking good. Anyone who gives her grief about anything can kick rocks as far as I'm concerned.
