What music did you use to listen too, that you cant stand nowadays

[Nice Comoesta]

It hurts to say, but Run the Jewels. Nice Comoesta used to be able to scream every single lyric, but they just…dont do it anymore. I get a slight pain in my left temple when I hear them.
Close your Eyes and Count to Fuck still goes dummy, though.

 

[MF-690T]

KMFDM. Used to love their stuff in middle school but it's just cringey as fuck now.

 

[Super Malario]

Red Hot Chili Peppers and Foo Fighters, used to listen to them a lot on my teenage years but I eventually got sick and tired of their music, also both Kiedis and Dave are just annoying cunts who deserve an ass kicking.

Grunge and post-grunge.

Imagine signing onto major labels and then whining about selling out. Imagine acting like being a strung out junkie to the point you shit your pants regularly is the peak of enlightenment. Imagine 20 years later getting pissy that the wrong people like your music. Imagine pretending to be an intellectual and only having one hit because people get tired of your shit just a few months later. I’m sure people can surmise which bands I’m talking about but the whole genre has been poisoned.

Thing is, that whole genre is entirely unnecessary. If hair metal was such a bad thing, bands like R.E.M. were huge and growing. The hair metal myth was bullshit because Metallica’s Black Album, Red Hot Chili Peppers, and Guns N’ Roses’ Use Your Illusion were huge. Grunge was just the shit faggots listened to while the cooler kids listened to those other albums. While all that was going on, Country music was exploding in popularity. Grunge was just shit and it’s a shame it’s overhyped.

Was big into nu metal in high school, find it pretty unlistenable nowadays. Specifically Deftones/obvious 'tones worship bands, which have been thoroughly ruined by TikTok e-thots and were never really that good to begin with. I maintain that Korn with a better vocalist/lyricist than J.D. would be a solid band. S.C.I.E.N.C.E. by Incubus is a good album and the first two Limp Bizkit albums are also a fun time. Nu metal went to shit when it dropped any identifiable funk-elements imo.

Immediately following that era was the 2016 explosion of SoundCloud rap/"trap metal" garbage, which I must (shamefully) admit I was into. That stuff has aged like absolute milk, out of hundreds and hundreds of reposts on my old sc there's maybe one or two worth listening to today.

Had a brief but intense phase with Grunge post-HS, still enjoy some AiC now and then but for the most part I do not care about this music (or rock in general) today

90s Memphis rap was also big for my friends and i back in HS and i've got a pretty sizable cassette collection (biggest gem being an official signed Tommy Wright III Ashes to Ashes tape) and I believe that the majority of this stuff is still good (90s only, not including revival), even though I don't listen to much of it now.

 

[Pargon]

Guns ‘n Roses. I thought they were hot shit when I was 10 (because Slash) and I could get past Axl’s vocals. After some years I’d learned about what an utter cunt he is and now I can’t stand his yelpy singing.

I lost interest in the Dave Matthews Band during their meteroric rise in the 90's because I went to a concert and hated their fans.

What were the fans like?

Slim Shady LP and Marshal Mathers LP are both still great. I like The Eminem Show but that was when the cracks first started to show that

When the music video of his first big song came out, I remember specifically thinking to myself, "Ohh, this guy isn't going to catch on. This will be a one and done situation."

That's how terrible and out of touch I am at judging what's going to resonate in popular culture.

 

[Not A Bunny]

What were the fans like?

Aside from the stoners (which were kids in their front half of high school...this was Northern New Jersey, and you best believe the kids were rich, bratty, and fall-down stoned), you got the frat crowd that was big into O&A, and what was big in 1999? "Whip 'Em Out Wednesday".

A LOT of the crowd had signs, shouting for Dave to acknowledge WOW (he didn't). It was obnoxious and even back then as a college student, I was pretty tired of those kinds of antics.

So, it was all the bad kind of stoners and guys who thought that a DMB show ("Baby's First Jam Band") was the right place for shock jock humor.

I'm certain that DMB never set out to attract kids, especially not obnoxious ones that had no chill, but because they were marketed to, that's the crowd you got, and like any time you encounter a thing you like and the crowd it attracts being a running pack of assholes, you distance yourself, lest the abyss turn you into an asshole as well.

Dave's probably like me, more of a Howard guy. They maybe should have tried shouting Bababooey instead.

It was obnoxious and even back then as a college student, I was pretty tired of those kinds of antics.

I remember a few people in high school who were Dave Matthews fans, but it was after high school when I began noticing that there were a whole lot of people my age with "Dave Matthew Band" bumper stickers on their cars. That''s the age range I associate with them. And they were typically upper middle class types, in college, preppy, and usually no older than 22.

Tech N9ne. Used to listen to this nigga 20 years ago. A few kids in high school my age liked his song I’m a Playa but after getting a couple of his CDs I thought it was a cut above what was on the radio at the time, which was the peak of crunk, so like Lil Jon, Ying Yang Twinz, etc. I stopped listening to him around 2005 or so. There was a single that did decently, Worldwide Choppers, that sounded decent. I tried listening to his stuff again recently and it was bad. Maybe when I was a teenager the pseudo horrorcore rap was more interesting but it’s awful now.

I liked the song he sang in Alleluia: The Devil’s Carnival.

I fell for the Death Grips meme, but I also feel like not liking them anymore is also a meme that I'm falling for. It might even be the same meme.
