It's gone bad, throw it out!

Speak for yourself, I've still got a running list of early morning songs that'd play on the school bus radio from highschool.

[tankovayadiviziya@lemmy.world]

Only because the passage of time declared Backstreet Boys to be no longer a cringe!

[klemptor@startrek.website]

I love the Crash Test Dummies. Give Yourself a Hand is probably my favorite album but I also really like A Worm's Life. Their records are all so different from each other too, which is nice because their sound evolved but remained recognizable.

[wjrii@lemmy.world]

I'm pretty basic. I liked The Ghosts That Haunt me and God Shuffled His Feet the best, and unironically enjoy almost every single track on both albums. Once they started drifting away from that wry and/or jaunty folk-pop-rock, I wasn't as interested, but I can appreciate that Brad in particular wanted to explore other ground and give his lyrical notions more space to breathe.

And then they're stuck in your head for weeks like a fucking mind virus.

[smoogs@lemmy.world]

Not from what I experienced unless… oh, right… millennials …mmmmyea. Throw it out. Something happened with music around then.

[socialmediarefugee@lemmy.world]

Me listening to old punk stuff I liked in college. "Ok, this is just noise."

[klemptor@startrek.website]

Oh I also enjoy both of those albums a lot, especially Here I Stand Before Me and Comin' Back Soon.

[knock_knock_lemmy_in@lemmy.world]

Oh, Backstreets back alright.

[lotrorc@lemmy.world]

Idk there are still quite a few artists and songs i can listen to from when I was in high school

There are also quite a few that I can't listen to anymore. Guess it really depends

[positivewhat@lemmy.world]

By Alternative you mean an assortment of punkish rock?

[positivewhat@lemmy.world]

The mainstream is so small and the ocean of music so wide that "not mainstream" isn't a meaningful term.

[odigo2020@lemmy.zip]

Right on, that all sounds like my jam. Thanks for the tip!

[ech@lemm.ee]

It wasn't a disparagement. Just explaining why it's not as seemingly ubiquitous as it once was.

[ech@lemm.ee]

Sure thing! Fwiw, I found most of those just digging through the bandcamp discover page. gglum I heard on KEXP, a great indie radio station based in Seattle who do internet broadcasts. Lots of good stuff coming from them.

[teslasaur@lemmy.world]

Dunno what kind of meh you listened to in high school.
Iron Maiden, Queen, In Flames, Ozzy, Dream Theater and At the Gates still slaps the shit.

[teslasaur@lemmy.world]

Nothing wrong with avenged, still brilliant to this day.
Staind was never good to begin with.

[anticorp@lemmy.world]

I still love everything I listened to in highschool, except One in a Million by GNR.

[anticorp@lemmy.world]

Me listening to old punk stuff I liked in college: "FUCK YEAH!"

[anticorp@lemmy.world]

Where's the real Slim Shady? Can he please stand up? Please stand up? Please stand up?
