Originally posted by Eon BlueSaw them at Brighton Centre in 82, very good indeed. The cure were actually a local band to the Sussex area and after I'd moved down from London I saw them a lot. Big claim to fame was i actually played the chords for cool for cats (not goth but good stuff) with Defford and tillbrook at the Amersham Arms in New Cross, when I was studying at Goldsmiths, Placebo studied at Goldsmiths a few years later and played around that part of London loads
👆That’s good stuff. Sioxsie and The Banshees are another fave.

yeah i mean the posts that say "now i think they're utter shity garbage" not just "don't really like them now"and well classical music just feels insanely more emotional, way more raw emotions for me, has more beauty for me, is far broader, rock feels insanely simple compared to the scale of old symphonies
Why the hell does that matter?, nothing wrong with anyone losing interest in bands and just hating them.

i'm not saying anything's wrong with that, lol, i'm just saying what i explicitly did - that i don't really understand that; talking about not understanding things is as far from judging as possible imo
but yeah, i can imagine loving music because of specific culture attached to it, and then, well, you decide this culture actually sucks and is messed up so things affiliated to it suddenly start to stink
probably part of me having a problem understanding how largely can things change here (i.e. going from "man i love this"->"this is shit it's ****ing terrible kill me pls" not just "man i love this"->"meh it's actually boring next to new stuff"😉 is that I pretty much never cared for things attached to the music, just liked music itself
in Poland the only kinds of music that had specific culture attached to them were the types I didn't like from the start, and music I liked in here my entire life was as culture-neutral as possible actually 😆
I hate Oasis. Some of their songs when I first heard them and saw everyone singing along, I thought, hey these are catchy, but now that I've heard them played constantly in every nightclub pretending to be a student bar or a rock bar just makes me want to cut my ears off.
R.E.M. are a good group that I genuinely loved listening to, but after hearing them so much and how everyone states an opinion on them they obviously heard from a boring T.V. show like you've never heard it before just makes me want to vomit.
"Everybody hurts is the saddest song and the happiest song!"
"Losing my religion was offensive when it was first released"
"End of the world has so many random words in it, no other song had done that before"
**** OFF!
But of a weird one, but when I got Mortal Kombat Deadly Alliance in 2002 it had a song from Adema called "Immortal" which was awesome.
I became a big fanboy as Nu Metal was the big thing back then, but I stopped listening to them and Nu Metal completely by about 2008.
Now it's simply just for nostalgia reasons, but all of them, Korn, Linkin Park, Papa Roach, System of a Down, (I never listened to Slipknot) I just can't stand their whiny lyrics. P.O.D. is an odd one because they were more upbeat with religious undertones.
Originally posted by Adam_PoEI remember at university I was in a pub with a colleague and his teammates/friends from basketball and they kept trying to out macho each other by making weird pervy comments on pinks music video where she stretches her legs and shit.
A good example of this is P!nk. Her first album is R&B, and her subsequent albums are pop-rock. If you got on board with her as an artist, because you liked her debut album, then you are probably going to jump ship once the subsequent albums come out, and are nothing like the first one.
Honestly, I never really cared for Pink. Her fans seemed low IQ and don't have any critical thought other than "what's the popular opinion? Oh, seeing a woman's legs"
