I don't get it What type of person do I have to be

The entire album is a bit heavy, it must be digested via repeated listens.
Lateralus itself as a track is extremely easy to get into and is probably one of the best things Tool has ever made (this will probably be called a pleb opinion because it's so popular it's "Radiohead best track is Creep" tier, but whatever).
So basically just listen to Lateralus over and over until you can get into the rest of the album, it's your key into the rest of their shit.

it is somewhat cheesy and lyrics are edgy, but music is p good and production is top notch

same goes to pic related, but despite it having even edgier lyrics, /mu/ still is all over it

>>75108083
4chan?

TDS is a concept album, it's about a person losing their faith, then getting into heavy addiction of drugs/sex/self harm and eventually killing themselves.

It's not literally telling you not to have faith or that religion is stupid, it's meant to be seen from the point of a person that HAD faith and wanted to believe, crashing down when being faced by the horrors of reality around us that seem incompatible with the idea of a loving god.
If you think making an album like that is "edgy" then "edgy" as a term has become a meme at this point and doesn't mean anything anymore.

Niceee

tool are trash

if you were a teenager really into metal lateralus might be the best thing you've ever heard. everybody else knows that metal is corny as fuck.

this is a pretentious album for pseudo-intellectuals who are REALLY self conscious about their critical incompetence :^)

>>75109384
But Tool isn't even metal.

Frankly i find the new generation of "i don't give a fuck about anything, i don't stand for anything and i'll never take strong opinions about anything" even more aggravating.

It's even worse when you get kids that act completely neutral but then they go online and act like alt-right shitheads, -only- online, never having the balls to actually do anything about it IRL.
Hell, most of the time they don't even believe in half the shit they say on the internet and they're just bored/want to feel unique.
I'd take some idiots that wants to smash up a store because he believes in something and wants to act, over some sedentary "jaded" neckbeard any time of the week.
The punk kid might be an idiot but at least he's trying to do something with his life and leave some kind of mark.

>>75106940
not a pleb

>>75109922
What no. Im not saying dont have beliefs or taste in music im just saying dont be a faggit about it.

>>75106940
fuck it, I'll be the one to say it:
a tool

>>75109922
Also fuck you with trying to leave a mark with your life. You want to do that pick up a hammer and get an apprenticeship. Smashing stores and punching old women is just fucking retarded.

>>75109922

>Frankly i find the new generation of "i don't give a fuck about anything, i don't stand for anything and i'll never take strong opinions about anything" even more aggravating.

Oldfag here. I don't see this at all. In fact many 4chan guys are just like the goofy punks in that picture: they're fringe people.

It's the normies that coast through life simply agreeing with whatever is in vogue. I see a lot of young fringe types in all political camps being very keenly aware of geopolitics and ideology - granted they have better utility to do so these days, and the internet is very steadily laying waste to the Gutenberg mind and the overall quality of discourse in a way that I find alarming - yet to say that this newer generation is more lacking in that same spirit is simply not the case. It's just been codified through more abstruse means due to the newer tech that they use.

It's a form of expression, violence, creativity and being constructive have the same energy behind them, the raw energy typical of the youth.
It basically comes from the same place, it's just processed in different ways.

Some kids grow up to build shit, other smash shit, as far as i'm concerned both of them are expressing themselves, what i personally can't stand are the kids just shitposting on their PCs 24/7.
That's not building nor breaking anything, it's just this flat, tasteless blob of gray where nothing changes.

It's been this way for a long time now, same with "pretencious". They are just buzzwords.

>>75109988
Anon shitposting on /pol/ and twitter all day isn't political activism, that's what i'm trying to say.
Everyone has "strong political opinions" these days that they just enact on the internet, and not in real life, that's the issue i'm presenting.

Using the internet as a means for discussion and getting your opinion out there is normal, ONLY using the internet and acting like a scared little bitch IRL isn't, it's not healthy at all and it's warping this entire generation's mindset.
They grow up spergy, socially autistic, and don't understand nor accept certain responses to stupid shit they might say in real life that they normally spout online, expecting the same consequences.
They end up being unable to actually interact with other people IRL when talking politics and different points of views.

>>75109992

Shut the fuck up. The only reason the youth of today act like this is because they are too lazy to work and they just do random shit instead. The youth of today are forever kids trapped in adult bodies. For shame.

Just fuck off.

Stop hanging around numales and get an apprenticeship. The world isnt as cucked as you think.

>>75110091
The world is exxactly as cucked as I think it is, when you think about the fact that most people migrate to the cities in order to find an easier way of living, therefore becoming lazy, which only becomes more pronounced the further in the future you go. I seriously think no body is going to work in 2 generations from now.

>>75110110
Thats not a bad thing though, carpentry has royally fucked my body. Woodworking and fishing will never fade away.

>>75110024

>it's not healthy at all and it's warping this entire generation's mindset.

You can't blame these kids for this. That is a gross over-simplification of the matter to the point of naivety.

>It's even worse when you get kids that act completely neutral but then they go online and act like alt-right shitheads, -only- online, never having the balls to actually do anything about it IRL.

Because "-only- online" are they free from the insidious fascist reproaches of the so-called leftists who will literally ruin a person's life as a means of "education". There is no free marketplace of ideas, it has been strong-armed by faux progressives who act through fascist silencing as they purport to speak out against it.

The truth is at the higher strata the left/right dichotomy no longer exists. It did once, but not anymore. They play one side off the other to keep people chasing symptoms instead of paying attention to an international banking collective that is actively working against all of them for later goals; it's all a ruse.

Just give it some time, it will become automated too.
You should be proud of your brokeness. At least you tried to be something other than a manchild.
