It seems like these bands are too busy playing and making $$ to come on Forums to defend their choice in music.

Therein lies the rub.

awful, just awful.

Man I'm pretty tolerant of most heavy music, but it's like "hipster thrash" or something.
THIS IS WHAT'S WRONG WITH AMERICA

She went to the "throat punch school of singing", and I use the term "singing" veeeerrrry loosely.

I can't stand that stuff. But I'm sure it's great for getting out any pent up aggression.

I wonder if that's what Black Sabbath sounded like to my parents when I was 16???

Not for me... I'm old.

I actually know a hipster whose whole hipster clique is all about music like this. They don't really call it anything, but the term for this style is Powerviolence, IIRC. He used to always try to impress me with Charles Bronson (the band) stuff along with a bunch of other bands whose names I can't remember.

One time I asked him why he doesn't listen to any music with rhythm and groove, like Intense Hammer Rage or Pig Destroyer. His response (he didn't catch the irony) was that those bands are too mainstream. LOL

Personally I'm of a newer age parent that doesn't believe in corporal punishment (spanking), thus promoting freedom of expression and praise over punish.....that said I would like to suspend my current beliefs, seeing what horrid path this method has apparently brought us down. Someone needs to slap some silly, pull a Clockwork Orange and flash force feed some Beatles/Presley/Cash/Zeppelin/Clash/Beach Boys/Doors/Nirvana/Public Enemy/Depeche/ACDC/Halen/Motley Crew in to these miscreants.

That had to be a joke. Right?

Its not just you. My 17 year old son said this today: "The more I learn about the 70's, the more I wish I had grown up then."

He was referring to music, the golden age of home audio (before ipods, 3 inch speaker-docks and earbuds) and the like.

He sort of took it back though when he realized we did not have video games.

All the good classical was made in the days of Mozart, Bach and Bethoven. All the good rock was made between 1960 and 1980. Of course there are exceptions to both and not everyone would agree.

But that video aint rock and roll and it aint music neither.

You're not old, you've just been oblivious to the hardcore scene for the past 30 years.

Oh please. I'd rather listen to this garbage than Justin Beiber or Rebecca Black any day of the week.

Could Be. My wife and I never had any kids so I might not have had the chance to be exposed to it. BTW, I just showed the first two minutes of this video to my wife and she smiled and said she had no regrets.

This could be the start of a very interesting discussion.
Recently I became interested in the mythology of "extreme" music, thanks to a pupil who introduced me to the world of black/death/thrash/and-so-on metal. What attracts me is the universe that lies behind it, or at lest the part of it that survives after the music business.
I must confess: I'm 44, I'm a classical-trained double bass player, "my" music is jazz and classical, but I also play and listen to blues, funk, and MPB (and other genres I don't like but it's job).
I really love classic r'n'r, from Chuck Berry on, and that old-school hard rock that's still rooted in r'n'r, like Led Zeppelin, AC/DC...
I also like classic punk like Sex Pistols, Clash, early Jam, Ramones: they had energy, but also music.
That's the point: why can't I hear music in many things of today, like "powerviolence", or extreme subgenres of metal?
I ask "old geezers" and young kids: would you help me?

[plankspanker13]

D.I.Y. taken to its' ultimate degree meant that music got abandoned; it's just organized noise that passes for "music," now.
