Sonic Youth

I hate them all as people so much

>>73752681
one of the most consistently good discographies ive heard

Amazing instrumentals often ruined by god awful hackneyed vocal melodies

>>73752688

gimme a quicc rundown on why you hate each member

>>73752695
yeah this

fuck you other posters

>Sonic Youth
>They're all old

>>73752716
just watch their interviews. they're always either super immature, huge dicks or a mix of both

>>73752723
>They're no longer sonic
What's your point?

>>73752695
Maybe if you ignore their 90's output.

>>73752695
This, they made great albums in 3 different decades, not many bands can say that

>>73752716
the nardwuar interview is so bad it taints my opinion of them as a band and I know I shouldn't it's that bad

>>73753372

Why is Jim O'Rourke the best member?

>>73753372
How do you feel about Blur?

They're Gen Xers. Gen X cool was really fucking mean.

Like, snarky, insincere, prickish, constantly grinning and winking at each other and being arch and ironic and being really stark in who they exclude.

>>73753888

Good post. Good digits.

Lydia Lunch is a good example of everything horrible about "Gen X cool" all wrapped up into one giant turd.

>>73753952
Yeah, the punks and everyone influenced by them (Nirvana, Sonic Youth, etc) were the worst about this. Total fucking assholes. Just terrible people. And not that I judge music for that (I generally dislike most of that music for other reasons), but I dislike them personally though nonetheless.

I'm really glad Gen X aren't informing the times anymore. There were a few things from them I really liked (rave, shoegaze/dreampop) but the punks were awful and I'm glad it's all dead.

>>73753977

The industrialists were more punk than the punks when you think about it: these sorts couldn't hold a candle to figures like Genesis, Sleazy or Balance. And yet all of those guys (while they probably had their asshole moments during their big drug heydays) were never near as insufferably *cruel* as these sorts were. Truly cruelty just for the sake of it.

Genesis P-Orridge seems downright pleasant compared to a try hard like Lydia. And you could tell they were the real deal too.

Best Sonic Youth interview feat. Beck.

>>73754568
Is Beck Autistic?

>>73754588
He's a scientologist

>>73752900
What? Goo, Dirty and Washing Machine are all so damn good

>>73753977
It was a reaction against the boomers and their sunny hippie-dippie optimism. If the Beatles were the consummate expression of the boomer mentality, then Black Flag were the consummate expression of the Gen Xer mentality.

>>73752695
Literally no outright bad albums, including NYCG&F. Only weak patch was early '90s
>>73754698
Yikes!
>>73752900
My lad Washing Machine and A Thousand Leaves are some of their all time high points

>>73754761
>Literally no outright bad albums
>Yikes!
?

>>73754770
Anon chose to defend their '90s output by using their weakest albums as examples. Not that Goo or Dirty or terrible or anything

>>73752926
>This, they made great albums in 3 different decades, not many bands can say that
Judas Priest maybe since Painkiller came out in 1990.

>>73754737
Yeah Millenials are a lot more sunny and not as exclusionist as Gen Xers. The whole punk mentality doesn't translate onto Millenials at all.

>>73754782
Dirty is dangerously mediocre. Goo is good. Washing Machine is good.

>>73754807
Dirty is dangerously mediocre. Goo is dangerously mediocre. Experimental Jetset is good. Washing Machine is excellent. A Thousand Leaves is excellent

>>73753888
Kim was born in 1954, she's really a late boomer.

>>73754840
Yeh but a lot of bands comprised of boomers did have mostly Gen Xer fans. Like all of the first wave metal guys.

>>73754801
You're right. If a young artist of today said some of the things that Thurston Moore or Kim Deal said in interviews back then, he'd probably get punched in the face.

"They were our Beatles."

-- Eddie Vedder on the Ramones

Twenty One Pilots and Tame Impala really pretty much reflect the Millenial mindset.

>>73754737
Yeah, the Gen Xers traded that 60s optimism and peace/love for this angry, cold self-flagellation.

>>73753888
Just ask Billy Corgan. He's every last one of those in one individual.

>>73755052
Oh god yes, this times a thousand. Eddie Vedder is exactly the same. He was too good and too cool for MTV so he decided to take his band and hole up in a cave on Mars somewhere.

I've heard Gen Xers say Millenials are too soft and coddled.

>>73752926
RHCP did it.

>>73755205
Actually no since RHCP never made a good album in any decade.

>>73753888
Some of my earliest experiences of posting on the Internet were on alt.tv.simpsons when I was like 15. Most of the posters there were of the Gen Xer sort and wow, what a bunch of sarcastic, edgy faggots. Of course they also treated the board like their s00per sekrit clubhouse.

>>73755359
Like for example, a lot of people would ask about Lisa's saxophone solo in "Lisa's Sax" (Baker Street). This question got asked so many times that it got annoying and almost meme-tier, so it got to the point where if you asked "Aiyyo, what's the name of the song in Lisa's Sax", they'd just give you some sarcastic non-answer. Well, one time I see one of these threads and my innocent teenage self who was only trying to be helpful said "Oh, the song is Baker Street".

Man, did I get a load of flames for that. It was like I'd broken one of the cardinal rules of the group which is "Do not give serious answers to people who ask about that song."
