Vagabundo posted:And Kathleen Hanna and Rammstein, but I suppose they weren't really in the mainstream. Rammstein is pretty mainstream. Basically you have to ignore a lot of artists to come to the conclusion that Greenday made the best protest music of that era. The point that it's pretty lovely to ignore the suffering of others because you're getting some good songs still stands though.

My high school graduation song was "Long Time" by Boston. I still think it should have been "Don't Look Back", but what do I know?

Green Day played at both my elementary school "graduation" as well as my high school grad. As far as I'm aware it hasn't gone away.

My first CD was a Green Day album. But 20 years later, they're just... there, in the past.

I remember a person who I did not care for otherwise admittedly going on and on about how deep Boulevard of Broken Dreams and I wanted to yell at them to listen to like any other song ever about how life doesn't work out how you want.

There was a comment on the protest song video about how the hard-hitting abrasiveness of emo music served as a release for teenagers who could see they were going to inherit a world run by idiots and assholes that doesn't make sense. Despite being an avid emo listener, I can't say I'm the best example of that because I tended to be lost in my own little world instead of using it as an outlet for my frustrations over the political climate at the time.

I love American Idiot and 21st Century Breakdown and it’s only partly nostalgia. But I also love Vocaloid music and think The Black Parade is actually a solid album in retrospect, so my taste is pretty suspect.

MCR is a good band. Black Parade still holds up. Actually going back, their other albums are good as well. Even their debut.

I guess, but expecting markets to promote the most 'sucessful' piece of art perfectally is a notion I'm highly sceptical of.

watho posted:don’t lump in vocaloid music as a concept with mid-2000s pop punk Ok but what if I said that I was mostly thinking of my recent revelation that despite what middle school me thought, most of ryo’s stuff is actually pretty solid. But also friend my love of vocaloid music is completely unironic, as demonstrated by my decade+ collection of 50 GBs of stuff and my decade old still active UTAU cover channel.

I dont know if it' s just this nerd thing or that I really was disconnected from pop culture in high school or something. There was just...so much stuff I missed because...*shrug* MCR and Green Day were the most mainstream bands I listened to. The rest of my musical taste was Anime stuff, obscure ska bands older music that my parents listened to.

no yeah fair but it’s mostly that thinking pop punk is emberassing is kinda fair since it’s very much filled with suburban teen melodrama and most of it is the same while vocaloid is absurdly wide and varied i totally get where you’re coming from tho and i relate strongly

This is a great video and it's honestly kind of amazing the scene is still getting new blood even today. The guys who beat the impossible level are a uni student and a 14 year old. Like I watch speedrunning docs sometimes and so often it's a cadre of people into the game since release all the way. The fact this has giants less than half the game's age is rad as hell and says nice things about the community.

i’m not gonna pretend that homophobia wasn’t extremely rampart in the mid 2000s but i really wouldn’t say that’s one of the main reasons people didn’t like emo bands. especially considering homophobia was pretty loving rampart in that culture as well

yeah it wasn’t so much people not liking it because of their homophobia as it was manifesting their dislike of it through homophobia, just as the emo kids did the same with what the preppy kids liked
