(no subject)
So the header on ap.net when I launched Firefox right now was this:
Every year, some of your favorite bands release new albums, you find out about great up and coming bands, you find out about great bands that you missed the boat on, and you find that some band you once loved has lost its luster. Over the past year, how have your musical tastes evolved?
Has the return of Blink 182 ushered in a new found resurgence of pop-punk love for you? Maybe it gave you a realization that you feel too old for their music these days. How you've changed over the past year is going to inevitably be different than any other person. Maybe Eminem's new album reminded you how much you've missed rap. Perhaps The Gaslight Anthem have inspired you to check out Bruce Springsteen and that pushed you into a whole new world of music you'd never before experienced.
Whatever your story, we want to hear it. What are the newest bands to rock your playlists? What bands are you shying away from more than ever?
-------------------------------
and being ap.net it was filled with omFG I haTEZ the fucking Maine. and Fearless bands. How dare they saturate our music scene and yet, I was intrigued by the prompt and hence writing about it here where I won't get cruified.
It's kind of ingrained in me to like shitty music. My brother is 7 years older and since he was old enough to listen to music has been trying to tell me what's good and what's not good and what I should listen to. So naturally I ran the other way from were he told me. There will never stop being glee at rubbing in my shitty music in his face. Don't get my wrong - I do love Green Day, I did love Collective Soul, Nirvana, aerosmith, Operation Ivy, Mighty mighty Bosstones, shit he picked out for me. I tried to hide it from him, blasting my N Sync and avril lavigne proudly, but I still grew up with the basic staples of my generation.
This year hasn't changed anything yet, it's only half over and just about every band I listen to has been in the studio lool. That being said, there is this weird feeling when I go to shows now. I'm starting to be older than the bands I'm listening to, or I'm the same age, but the crowd is seriously younger. I can't even legally drink yet {so close}, i should be allowed to enjoy concerts without feeling like a loser.
That being said, newest bands to rock my "playlist" - a rocket to the moon and the friday night boys.
Bands I'm shying away from - fucking Blink 182. I hated them during 6th -7th-8th grade gigs and I still hate them now. Cobra Starship sadly enough, they kind of went from fun to.... just sad. all time low i'm on the fence about. They do make such great summer music, totally rocked out to SWIR while stuck in traffic today, so maybe their new album will be worth it.
It's just, I don't know - I spent so much of high school, buried into deep, angsty, rock bands that I just want a break from that. I don't want to listen to the Used, or Disturbed, I've just started being able to listen to 3 Doors Down and Our Lady Peace again. I haven't listened to Linkin Park in months. Taking Back Sunday is another one I can't decide if I want to venture listening to or not. Hawthorne Heights I haven't listened to either, but that's more to do with Casey than it is shunning of rock music.
-------------------------------------
I don't know. See the problem that I have with this, and I know for most of you its the same way, it's that we stumbled upon these baby bands nobody knew - because all bands start that way. Whether it was WTK or The Cab or MCR, you got attached. You follow that band even if its not your scene anymore because you have history with them. and part of that history leads you to support their friends / labelmates and suddenly you're completely in this scene with no real way to leave, because now suddenly you've grown attached to all these other bands and new bands are being introduced and you're just fucked.
I enjoy the scene, mostly, sometimes... I have met decent people out of it, I enjoy the music, and most of the time I enjoy the guys themselves, but sometimes i feel silly being surrounded by 13 year olds in Glamour kills. When a 13 year old can get in my car and know all the words to all the bands I listen to... it makes me wonder if i'm missing something, some cue to grow the fuck up.
and now my hh button is fucked up. I hate this fucking laptop so muchhh, but i hate my desktop more. FML.
But I don't know. I don't think I'm missing out on any boats right now. I mean, two years ago i was discovering panic for the first time and feeling like the biggest loser ever, but c'mon, i was an MCR girl, patd were pansies. I was too young to realize they're really fucking pretty pansies who fail so hard they win.
anyway, this is turned too long and i'm all upset my keyboard's crapping out. So good night. Feel free to post your own musical revelations, I'll try and edit this into something coherent, sometime.
