Anyone fantasize going back in time and playing weird ass music to the locals?

[MisoSupper]

The title. I'm constantly watching media with that lens...like what would the 90's think of Death Grips, or what the 60's think of Dubstep, or what the 30's would think of Great White Death by Whitehouse? Anyone else do this?

I would love to go back to middle ages with a hurdy gurdy, preform an incredible live show, freak ppl out, and say "I guess you guys werent readyfor that."

 

[Combat Wombat]

If I could go back to the 50s and play 100 gecs to them I would cause the collapse of civilization

Introduce Heavy Metal to the Khans.

Introduce Heavy Metal to the Khans.

...goddamn...that'd just embolden them even more

 

[Sprate Header]

I've always wondered what the Puritans would make of dubstep growls and speedcore lol

 

[Dieter Laser]

Take some mumble rap back to 1866 and watch them repeal the 13th amendment.

another thing I like to fantasize is attempting to explain what our current culture and history is like to people from the past, but like 25% of it is made up bullshit just to spice it up and scare the shit out of them.
"Oh yeah Lorn's Oxbow B is a pop classic that every kid listens too, that is when they aren't fighting Zucc HK units..."
"Molchat Doma? Oh yeah they're like the Beatles in our time...yeah the Soviets completely won..."

God I literally had fleeting thoughts about this yesterday morning. I was thinking about clothes and fashion rather than music though. Like if you showed a current year obese model like tess or even ashley graham to someone back in the 30s or 40s

 

[Table Country]

I feel like I'd be burned at the stake for blasting TMV.

 

[DJ Grelle]

what the 60's think of Dubstep,

Musique concrete is a thing since the 50ies, they'd be confused but some french avant garde weirdoes would be extremely interested

 

[Fireman Sam]

I'll go back into the unga bunga caveman era and give those fuckers even BIGGER drums!

 

[Hypnomouse]

Duuude, I thought about it. More specifically going back to the roman empire and playing this song on the streets:

 

[Breadbear]

Introduce Heavy Metal to the Khans.

... Mongolian death metal

Edit because I'm an idiot who can't link properly.

 

[Skitarii]

They would lynch me and then kill themselves

I've always wondered the idea of going back to introduce a technology that would give a settled society a boost then coming back to read up on them. I've always thought I would try to introduce electricity or the blast furnace ahead of time.

With electricity I would go introduce the concept of electric generator (hydro and wind would be the most likely to get off the ground easily), Lead-Acid batteries for storage, and the motor which is kind of like generator in reverse. I'd probably try with the Romans as they are likely my best bet to find a people that can actually utilize the innovation and acquire the materials needed, also due to their diverse culture they are slightly less likely to lynch me. The biggest hurdle is the language barrier and obtaining the materials for your first demonstrations.

The blast furnace would be an upgrade for the Romans at the time as the higher temperatures would allow for the melting of iron much easier and move away from crucible steel production methods. This would introduce steel (if we can get flux) much earlier to the empire which did exist when they did have when they absorbed Noricum (in modern Austria) but while it was valued by the military it existed in small quantities and varied in quality.

Mostly likely I'd die though rather than achieve this.

I'd absolutely love to go back in time and show the Red Baron Sabaton's song dedicated to him. Actually just showing soldiers in WWI/WWII Sabaton's music to give them an idea of just how big of an impact fighting in the trenches is going to have on the world of modern music.

I used to research Time during 10' and I found out really weird and frankly bizarre things that even today there is no conscious explanation for how some people can experience time compared to others.

This has nothing to do with music, so I'll derail the thread a little.

Time Travel IS POSSIBLE. One leading theory is using soundwaves to bypass the spacetime spectrum, which by the way, some faggot in Russia did experiments and was able to determine that blasting a zone with a certain frequency it could, theoretically and practically, suspend that zone for up to a second.... In the fucking 90'.

And if I would time travel I'll introduce Despacito to middle age proletariats.

Franz Liszt was the OG Rockstar. Groupies would nab his cigar butts.

Richard Wagner's "Ride of the Valkyries" was the heavy metal of its day.

Showing them our obese people in general would be interesting, like an episode of My 600lb Life.
