@darkshineess I feel this way about a lot of overplayed radio rock songs. Imagine hearing Hotel California or Wont Get Fooled Again for the first time with zero context?
@DefendNoWave I can remember interviews with mcr from back in the day where they literally said this. They hated being lumped in with emo because they wanted to be a band like Queen
@HereticPrevails Younger people would be shocked just how hated nu metal was from the mid 2000s through most of the 2010s before it became a nostalgia genre same goes for emo and butt rock
@Etanarachel Each new generation goes against the values of the generation that came before. The progressive culture of the 2010s was a direct reaction against post 9/11 right wing patriotism and “edgy” Gen X humor. Now the opposite is happening
@FranziaMom The way a lot of chronically online younger people picture 2010-2014 is actually 2002 and the way they picture 2015-2019 is actually 2012 and they have no real concept of anything pre 2000
@celinedionysus_ A lot of these and other similar bands were always more rockin/guitar heavy live and I wish that was showcased more on the studio recordings
