I've never been this emotional and hosed up about music before. This legitimately feels like when I found out my parents were getting a divorce. Which was ironically around the same time I found ETID in ~2003. I'm 40 years old now. The thing about "your musical tastes are basically locked in your early 20s" is very true for me, 85% of what I listen to is ETID and Acacia Strain. If TAS call it quits there won't be any current active bands I love anymore. We joke about what a generic genre of music we enjoy, but what that means is when a band actually does stand out, like ETID, losing them is a real blow. gently caress 2022 forever edit: I hope Livenation doesn't play loving games with me on this refund request. Not trying to see Underoath. Was gonna leave after ETID played anyway. Wamsutta fucked around with this message at 16:23 on Jan 18, 2022 |

I like the same music I liked in high school and I don't see why that should ever change. Branch out, sure, but stop listening to? Why? I should just stop liking things as I get older? gently caress that poo poo.

I still listen to a good bit of what I listened to in late middle / early high school. Mainly "grunge" stuff (Nirvana in particular). Korn was late high school for me. I don't really enjoy their stuff anymore, not even the old stuff. Very late high school is when I found out about *core stuff, and found Zao (name checks out, I know). It amazes me that a band that tumultuous is still putting out bangers. Meshuggah is still cranking out stuff, too. I've always kind of considered them similar to ETID in that vein of, they have a particular sound, and while each album has its own identity, they're pretty consistent and stay "in their lane" over all, regularly making music.

As I get older what I've found changed is I give way less of a gently caress if the music I like is perceived as bad. I will listen to Linkin Park every now and then without any shame and I have zero issue rocking out in the car to something super-cheesy like Ice Nine Kills A lot of my youthful tastes were driven by perception ("all the cool kids listen to Glassjaw and all the posers listen to Blink-182") so as I get older and reject that mentality more, I'm coming across a lot of music that I genuinely enjoy but ignored at the time

Just remarking that as I age, nothing seems to stand out or hit me anymore. I click on most links in here and it's usually "I could lift to this" but nothing I remember after it stops playing. It's all just so interchangable and generic, for the most part. XIII posted:Goddamn you.

Their release last year was awesome, still obviously Zao, but quite different too. Reviews of it were positive. Boy, the name of that album has a different connotation these days...

Even though like, Korn was an extremely popular band, I got poo poo for liking them in high school. I'm thankful for a local college radio station for turning me on to the music I love these days. Even reconnected with the DJ who ran the metalcore show on it recently. By college I was into the "underground" stuff, and again got poo poo for liking it. /shrug, zero fucks given. That said, Nashville's hardcore/metal scene (at least at the time) was *extremely* loving judgemental on what you liked. So that kind of sucked, too.

Yeah I still listen to 90% of what I liked in high school but I also try to listen to something new to me almost every day. I would not like to become like my dad who only listens to rock music made between 1965-75.

Right there with you, brother. While ETID is probably my "favorite" band (at least in the sense that, if you were to poll my friends, they're the band that everyone would choose as "XIII's favorite band") and I do love them a whole poo poo ton, I'm not TOO broken up about their split. The writing was on the wall. And it's not like the albums aren't still there. (or that I don't fully expect to see them again at some point in the future) As much as I love my lovely old bands, I fuckin' LOVE finding lovely new bands. Sometimes that just means New To Me, sometimes it's some obscure band with under 300 monthly listens and only a 4 track EP (these are also the best bands to buy merch from). I genuinely cannot understand people who aren't on the hunt for new tunes. I am constantly trying to find cool new music to listen to and share. Hell, half the time it's not even a band that I particularly like, but I'm like, "oh, poo poo, So-and-So would love this band! I should listen to three albums worth to find the best tracks to send to them." Sometimes a new band will wear their influences on their sleeve too much, but sometimes they manage to blend 3-4 of my favorites together in a way that hits juuuuust the way I like and it's all I wanna listen to. Or sometimes it's some wild poo poo that I can't think of an easy comparison for. Whatever it is, finding new music/bands loving rules and I pity anyone who longs for the "days of REAL music"

I love my old albums. I love it when my old fav bands make new albums. I love finding new bands. I do spend most of my time listening to newer stuff, to the point where I often think "oh man, I need to listen to [some old album] again!" but usually end up checking out some new thing instead. And I'm 40, fyi, just since we're talking about this in regards to age. Honestly bandcamp has been the largest game changer for me, and helping me discover new music. Big fan of the mathcore index FB / YT pages too. What I don't really do anymore is go to shows. I think the Nashville scene has died down a lot to begin with, and I just don't keep in touch with who is playing at what venues around here anymore. I also hate driving and parking. And the pile of cigarette smoke from outside constantly (I do not miss it when there used to be smoking inside all the time, my everything would stink). So I'm def a curmudgeon in lots of ways. But bring on new tunes.

I've just been projecting my own seemingly parallel life experiences onto them like characters in a boy band. Literal super fan. This Reddit post loving nails it, I am not gonna give a poo poo about or follow members of bands anymore, lol. Way easier if they're just faceless beings who produce tunes I like. I need some new poo poo. I enjoy ETID, The Acacia Strain, Bury Your Dead (up through Beauty and the Breakdown), Blood Has Been Shed, It Dies Today, Knocked Loose, Misery Signals, Kublai Khan TX, Counterparts. Lol at how many of those are from the early 00s and don't make music anymore. Anyway, help me. I worked out without any music this morning just because I'm loving sad about ETID. I think losing them after 2 years of the pandemic and watching the world falling apart and becoming aware that the government is never gonna do anything to help people ever, let alone address climate change, has crack pinged me. lol lmao!!!!

rule number 1: idolize no human. zero. none of them. you can and should respect people for their ideas or for the way they treat you/other people in certain situations benevolently, but every human is fallible and has ugly sides to them which become more and more apparent the closer you get.

hate5six has said that bands decline recordings semi-regularly and it's often for pretty benign reasons and usually related to something in their contracts. I don't think you should change your opinion of a band over it.

TLDR for the ETID split is Keith dressed and sounding exactly like Neil from the Young Ones walking onto to the tour bus saying "uhhhhh guys I hate to break up your bourbon orgy but I kind of need to do my mindfulness right now?"

Sounds like the brothers grew to resent each other (politics sounds like it was part of the reason?), and at that point anything the other does, you assume the worst. Keith threw some ultimatums. The truth is probably that Keith needed to leave the band a while back, and it just festered until everyone got beyond miserable. People grow apart, they tried to make it work, and it only got worse and worse.

BrooklynVegan put Steve's tweets into a more readable format. It's definitely hard to come out of this buying Keith's slant on things unless you believe that the rest of the band is outright lying constantly in public about everything now. Fuckin...every year I "There's always next year"'d about getting to Tid The Season and welp.
