It wouldn't be if it weren't for the meme of grunge and nirvana "see? I'm not into grunge only for nirvana".
jesus fucking christ, it was shit, just as nirvana were shit on 70% of their songs.

this is probably the worst OP ever on /mu/, good fucking job
>>72062255
this album is indeed frontloaded and acclaimed disproportionately to it's overall quality
>>72062255
what a meme am i right? epic FAIL

>Hey Joni, Candle and Trilogy are on the second half
Hmm ok
>it's another "pleb listens to daydream nation once and doesn't 'get' it" thread
It took me being in the right mood to enjoy this one fully
this album got me into indie rock, it's great. Their early stuff is really interesting too.
honestly there's a part of me that will never be able to enjoy sonic youth because they were pricks to nardwuar
>>72063289
lold because i was going to write almost exactly this
oh children
>>72062255
this bait is so incoherent, flaccid and disappointing that it's actually upsetting. wow.
>>72064098
The weak should fear the strong faggot. Sonic Youth did nothing wrong
>>72064098
>nardwuar
I'm reading about this now and I don't think I can bare to watch this. That's really fucking lame.
>>72062255
And somehow it's remained popular for 25 years.
Really makes you think.
>>72064160
by whom?
>>72064177
DN influenced and defined rock since 90s.
>>72062255
bait, but Daydream Nation was held in high regard before anyone knew who Nirvana was
>>72064147
Don't watch it if you like sonic youth.
>>72064667
I found it kinda hard to watch when I first saw it, but I can still enjoy their music. Popular musicians are assholes, it's just a fact of life
>>72064147
It's them fucking around with a meme reviewer, no idea why people get so upset about it
>>72064705
you can always tell the quality of a person based on how they treat nardwuar

>people are still too autistic to seperate art from the artist
>>72064779
i'm not saying i dislike their art. but they're still shitty people
>>72062255
Are you trying to imply Daydream Nation is grunge? If that's the case you would have an argument for Dirty and maybe Goo but definitely not DN.
And the fact is, Sonic Youth had some influence on most big indie rock bands back then. Just as a few examples, they were the ones that convinced Sub Pop to sign Nirvana, they were good friends with J. Mascis and ideas from Sonic Youth and Dinosaur Jr definitely crossed paths, and even Kevin Shields has talked about being really interested in what they were doing and having that inspire him.
I'm pretty sure that most people who strongly dislike DN are approaching it like they would approach a typical post-90s rock album and aren't listening to the guitars enough to understand the techniques the band had finally mastered from their early no wave and post-punk days and learning how to adopt what they had learned from listening to guys like Glenn Branca and Rhys Chatham in a punk context.
>>72064739
Oh yeah you can tell they're pretentious assholes but I think they have the music to back it up.
this isn't even a grunge album, what are you talking about?
Sister is better
