What's your favorite Celine Dion song?

Like play in a band? Or burning a church and shooting up McDonalds?

>>73920534
Have you listened to much metal? Your taste suggests that you're right on the edge of diving in but haven't done so for whatever reason.

>>73920597
Is the purple thing a hat?

>>73920607
Did you get to many shows in that era?

>>73920661
What age are you now? Your taste hasn't changed much from when you were 20, but your 18 y/o taste makes it seem like you're now 23/24.

Nah, I dyed my hair a while back. It was really long and all purple. After a while, my roots came in and I got an undercut.

Pic related, its me.

>>73920663
Yeah and I actually just realized I forgot Dead Milkmen - Soul Rotation when I was 15

>>73920663
I played in a band, did some session work, and had a couple solo projects. Wrote stuff for limited circulation printed zines.

Was going to burn a church and then i realised that would be really try-hard and wasn't in line with my core philosophies, would have just been an attempt at being edgy without any other "deeper" statement.

The American black metal scene is pretty toxic though, I try to stay away from it these days. The european scene is much better from what I can tell. Less hedonistic. I might be completely wrong.

>>73920682
22 rn, will be 23 at the end of the year though so your math aint too bad.

>>73920661
Pretty good taste, tbqh.

Have you looked into Brendan Perry's solo work?

>>73920723
Oh, well it looks a lot better in your picture than the drawing.

You need a chin btw. You've got a transexual thing going on at the moment. No offense; would still fuck while listening to Yeezus.

>>73920743
>Yeah
Any standouts? It's quite rare to get a feel for how bands were live back then.

>>73920745
>The American black metal scene is pretty toxic though
Care to elaborate? I'm imaging it now as like a themed collection of outcasts doing the usual hanging out under a bridge thing while caring more about cosplayed drug use than the music.

>>73920775
You have a lot of albums from 11/12 in your 18 /yo list so I figured you must be thereabouts.

>>73920821
Well for starters I actually didn't get to see that Dead Milkmen show. I bought advance tickets but I was too young so they wouldn't let me in. I had to wait another 20 years to finally see them. My friends told me how great the opening band was.

Offhand seeing Fugazi a few months before Kill Taker came out was basically just like a huge party because so many of our friends went and Fugazi was pretty much at their peak.

Ween for Chocolate and Cheese was another like that. We got to meet Gene in the alley. They actually opened for Dead Milkmen on Soul Rotation as I recall with Shadow Men which was yet another Dead Milkmen show I was too young for. We all were though so I had company in my misery. We only had one one friend who was old enough and the rest of us were just beside ourselves with envy. Probably one of the greatest lineups of all time.

>>73920821
Oh I know, i'm not at all transitioning at this point. I'm still male presenting by all means.

>>73920797
Thanks, neon. No, but I know I should, got any recommendation for a starting point?
>>73920821
Yeah, those were a couple big years for me.

>>73920949
Well at the least you got to see Fugazi in '93. That sounds rad as hell.

>>73920975
I figured that was the case. If you ever do decide to transition, you'll probably make a very nice looking lady.

>>73920987
I'd hope so, thank you very much!

>>73920821
>Care to elaborate?
It has a tendency to attract addicts and other morally bankrupt individuals who oftentimes find a way to cement themselves at the center of their respective cliques. They have a tendency to use the black metal philosophy as an excuse for their questionable actions, like a crutch to justify their behavior, and then they attract others who hold the same values (or lack of values) and the cycle propagates.

But I mean, I don't know what I was expecting, black metal is a negative force at the core, so it only figures that would translate over to the subculture as well.

But yeah the main issue I have is the rampant drug use and the overall degeneracy going on, as well as the narcissistic personalities and clique behaviour. I can understand why people like Scott Connor are trying to distance themselves from the scene these days.

>>73920984
I liked Ark more than his debut personally, but a lot of my friends feel the exact opposite. All of his material is great though, pretty different from DCD.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FoQauYMEVNs
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P8mNYVPoEa4

>>73920987
Yeah I saw them for Red Medicine too.

Starting at the very beginning I could have seen Metallica but I'd never been to a concert before and was scared. So I have just about as many big regrets as I have big shows.

>>73920999
That's actually quite interesting.

There's not much if any black metal scene where I'm from, so all of this is new to me. Are the majority of people involved with the music? If not how exactly does the black metal elements of the scene come across? Satanism/anti-westernism?

Sounds like you're much better off being out of it btw.

>>73921050
Mad jealous. Fugazi are great.

>I have just about as many big regrets as I have big shows.
We all do, unfortunately. I wish I stopped giving a fuck much, much earlier.

>>73921041

Most are involved with the music, whether that's playing in bands or booking shows or writing for zines, etc. I didn't know very many "fans" who didn't actively participate in some way or another.

Honestly I don't/didn't associate with very many people outside of the metal and/or extreme/dark music scene, and if I do they're only peripherally aware of black metal. A lot of people tend to associate it with satanism more than anything else, but in the current landscape that's more a metaphor than anything which is something a lot of outsiders can't seem to grasp given the imagery and aesthetic.

I feel better now that I'm (mostly) out of it, moved to a rural area in the past few months, but I've been involved with it for so long that I'm not sure where to go or what to do next. Hence my interest in production.

Thanks for sharing. I've always liked black metal so it's nice to learn more about it. Good or bad.

>>73921121
Yeah and at least it's not like anyone asked me to go. My dad just said they were in town and I just said "oh" despite being a huge fan.

The first concert I asked to see was The Cure for Disintegration. I actually saw Love and Rockets a few months earlier but I'd never heard of them. Good show but especially cool for me in retrospect having become a Bauhaus fan.

Saying, "I can't listen to an album with such bad art" is shallow as fuck and suggests you use music as accessory for your personal image rather than actually enjoying it. If you are an actual fan of music and want a glorious shoegaze/post-rock epic featuring dense Christian imagery then listen to it.

RIP in millenial newfag

>>73927289

>>73925351 here & nah I was a complete normie throughout the entirety of highschool. Partied every weekend, got drunk, bunked class, had girls. You name it. Everything fell apart at college though.

>>73927907
So you were the normie type of dubstep fan, not the creepy and gross one. What happened at college

>>73927923
yeah, got into it from a friend who was the kinda weird creepy fan. with UKF and all that. Moment I hit 18 I was out at MoS and Fabric whenever I could.
In college my insecurities just caught up with me and I crashed out. Not much to say, was out of my element and something snapped.

>>73927991
I can't cope with overexposure to social activity. Too many parties and events really drain me out, maybe you experienced something similar.

I don't know if it's me but a lot of things you're supposed to do in your youth don't appeal to me that much. I'm just tired of getting drunk out of my mind on weekends and fucking around with my friends or with girls. It's boring.

I'm graduating highschool in a couple months and I don't really feel like going to college, I've been working as a graphic designer for 5 months now but I don't want to follow an "artistic" career because it doesn't pay too well and is more of a hobby for me.

btw, did Fabric ever reopen?

>>73927712
i dont think its that shallow desu
the art is meant to represent the music
but i was only half serious in saying it, and I'll probably check it out cuz it sounds really interesting

>>73928094
yeah fabrics back. think it's like 19+ on weekends now or something? i spoke with the manager of xoyo about the whole thing that went on with london clubs last year or whatever and he said the council really really pressured them to make anything aggressive at least 19+ and some things even higher. I remember the Andy C residency was 21+ and a bunch of younger college friends were mad about it.

But yeah I definitely did. From like 17-19 I was drunk like, 4 days a week. College days was more like every day. Just do you. I couldn't cope there in the end and I dropped out, I don't really regret it. I couldn't even learn anything because I was so wacked out I didn't remember shit.

>>73920607
>Possum Dixon
FUCKING BASED
why are they so underrated? Their s/t is an 8.5 at the least

>>73928198
I wouldn't ever study in an American school, wouldn't pay the insane tuition prices.

I don't really know what I would even want to study, and don't see why I couldn't pursue that or learn it by myself.

>>73928240
depends what the end result is
traditional jobs are gonna ask for a qualification to prove you can do it, and then ask for experience after that.
art-y jobs might just ask for a portfolio though.
i mean really it depends what you want to do.

>>73928301
That's the problem, haven't figure out what I want to do.

My taste is probably shit by /mu/ standards. I sometimes listen to bands from my edgier years too, and there's a lot of shit not included, simply because sometimes I only liked an album or specific songs of some bands. Generally listened and still listen to various older metal/rock bands, classical, instrumental stuff, and other random shit.
