Youtube suddenly recommended me some music I listen to some 14 years ago. Unlocked some memories that didn’t need unlocking
Shouldn’t it be the other way around? I was very ashamed of liking Avril Lavigne, today I blast that banger whenever I feel like it 😎
I wouldn’t say I am ashamed, but I cannot believe I liked Insane Clown Posse and thought it was legitimately good music.
I thought Hollywood undead was the greatest band for a while…
Woop woop
Check out American Juggalo on YouTube if you haven’t already
Cinematic masterpiece
Edit: actually this one is the cinematic masterpiece. I actually do wanna go to the Gathering
Same video I think, but yeah I’ve never been an ICP fan but I would def go to the dark carnival if I had the opportunity just for the experience and people watching.
Well it used to be slipknot/KoRn/Limp Bizkit etc etc, but now nu metal is cool with all the zoomers, so I’m no longer embarrassed of being a nu metal kid. It’s been pretty cool to reconnect with that stuff without fear! Tbh there are a lot of KoRn tracks that slap, and you can hear their influence in a lot of the underground metal music I listen to. The band chat pile that’s pretty popular right now cites KoRn as an influence. Limp Bizkit is still preeeeeetty fuckin bad though. I fuck with some tracks off of 3 Dollar Bill Y’all$, but so much of it is just corny as hell. System of a Down was always considered dope so they don’t count
I just saw Korn live for the first time last year and it was a great show. They played a lot of their old stuff and really made me appreciate some of the early albums again. Don’t care for their new music much, but then again and don’t like most new music. I prefer stuff I already know. Must be an age thing.
Chat Pile has been my newest obsession! Hope to catch their show sometime soon
I got to see them perform with Lingua Ignota, weirdest combo ever.
I loved aqua. Barbie girl is obviously relevant with the movie out, so it’s reminded me. However doctor Jones was also great for me at the time. I then went online and downloaded all their songs. It pretty much introduced me to mp3s. As an adult I still like it for the nostalgia and some of the lyrics are quite funny. Life in plastic, it’s fantastic or You can brush my hair, undress me everywhere.
However, O would not be breaking out the aqua for a party or dinner with friends.
I have a giant playlist of songs that are cheesy and fun but not intolerable to listen to for me, to play when my kids are playing. It’s got vheesey stuff like S club 7, which is probably more embarrassing than aqua, but don’t stop movin is amazing. It also has upside down by the a*teens. I pick songs that have words or concepts that help learn music appreciation or language skills.
Things like ROYGBIV by public service broadcasting teaches colours sits beside Gwen Stefani Hollaback girl teaching spelling.
And b*witched for the denim.
Simple Plan. They had some popular songs, but looking back, their lyrics were/are cringy. But on the upswing, they had good intention in them.
Oh NO. I recognized the name even and was like “I know that song…don’t I?”
Ugh. Yeah. I do.
I literally can’t listen to that video now without cringing into a singularity, but way back in the day it was my jam.
Vanilla Ice and Milli Vanilli.
Just realized I did actually buy the Milli Vanilli album on tape when it came out. Then the Grammys happened and it was shameful.
And then 20 years later the industry was like, hey, that actually worked, let’s just make that the standard now.
I used to think Static-X was the heaviest, most badass band out there. I loved all of their stuff and bumped it daily up through high school. It’s funny, because there was like a ten year gap where they were very un-cool to everyone after that, but now they seem to be having a kind of resurgence with a new front man. Saw them live a few months ago and the venue was packed with a 50/50 split of zoomers and old farts
Lol thanks for the memories of listening to Static-X in art class on my headphones. I forgot about them. I also thought they were so cool.
Static-X and Powerman 5000
I was a huge limp bizkit fan back in the day. Honestly didn’t hate their newest album either.
fair, but I feel old Limp Bizkit is still kinda fun, I ust feel weird knowing I unironically listened to bands such as Black Veil Brides
let’s really show ones age…not really embarrassed, but it is not something i listen to today. Top pops - Mammy blue
I’m browsing lemmy from Memmy (iOS app), and had to triple-read your post before my brain would register it as Mammy.

Early 90s eurohouse and/or hiphouse. I listened and still listen to many genres, but the kind of music I refer to, is not even worth being a guilty pleasure.
Oooo I wanna check it out! Who should I search for?
Confetti’s, T-99, King Bee, 2 Unlimited, Quadrophonia, LA Style, To be fair, even at 14 years old, 2 Unlimited was too cringey even for me.
Hahaha sick I’ll try to check them out, so curious about the sound
E-Rotic is still worth a listen…right???
The last top-40’s song I memorized after listening to it so many times was Mr Big, be with you. A basic unrequited love song without much depth. I was 14.
It was around that time that my neighbor introduced me to Nine Inch Nails,and changed the course of my musical taste forever.
For a long time I was very focused on just industrial, grunge, ska, and electronic. I eventually started expanding into prog-like music from across genres (complex melodies and instrumentation, but not just rock, ie newgrass, IDM).
Eventually I met my now-wife and, while she already shared much of my taste spectrum, she also listened to pop charting stuff, and over the years I opened back up to it. Some of its not bad if you give it a chance. Bruno Mars is a legend!
No shame in Mr Big. Paul Gilbert is a guitar hero!
Ok - almost no shame…
Ha! I don’t know enough about the band to have heard of that guy! I’ll take your word for it 😜
“Waited on a line of greens and blues (waited on a line) Just to be the next to be with you”
That line just creeps me out.
What does that even mean
It’s not as old as some are suggesting but I used to non-ironically listen to pink guy, the musical spin off of Filthy Frank. Not my proudest moment but I guess I still follow George Miller because I listen to Joji. Very different vibe now.
Mumford and Sons. Their first few albums were unique, and a nice change from everything else. Then they turned around and shit on everyone that liked their music before turning into Coldplay
Their first few albums were already just generic folk pop but if they were your first generic folk pop band I can see it being a pretty novel sound. And I’ll agree that their earlier stuff was better than their later stuff, but it still wasn’t very good or very original
