Not a punk/hardcore/grind band, but if you haven't seen Cerebral Bore live, you need to! That chick is badass!

You're welcome to dislike it, I don't plan on picking up their album either, but it's got more in common historically with Minor Threat or Black Flag than it does with Black Sabbath or Judas Priest.

This is true.

I'm 60 and I liked it. The girl singer, er screamer, was perfectly in genre.
I never paid much mind to this type of performance but after engineering a few demos
for similar bands I get the whole vibe.
And yes, a lot of kids like it also.

BTW, I had the mic input down to "1" to avoid distortion from the singer's screams only to have the band complain, "There is no distortion"

That's an entirely different can of worms. I'm 80% fingers, and not an anti-pick snob.

Here's another nugget:

My son used to play stuff like that. When I said that I couldn't find any structure or definition in it he said he COULD. Sheez, what does he know that I don't. I have a degree in theory, and couldn't have learned any of it. It's just rubbish music to me. Am I old? Hell, yeah! 63 soon. I'm still stuck in the 50s through the 70s.

Most of the originals bands in my area play that style of music, and the members tend to be in their late teens and early 20s. For awhile, I attended some multi-band shows because my students were playing and I wanted to support them. Try as I might, I couldn't get into the music. I also noticed that band parents aside, I was usually one of the oldest people there.

At one event I ran into a 17 year-old guitarist who I had briefly played with and said to him "I must be old, because I don't get it." He replied "You're not old. I don't like it either."

I guess that as with many things, liking certain musical genres is associated with multiple factors. Age is just one.

I'm not sure what to make of this. I couldn't resist checking out "Punch" in some other UT videos and the OP video seems to suffer from extremely poor recording/acoustics by comparison. Not that the other Punch videos will be much more palatable to the blues/jazz/rock/classical players here about (myself included), but there is definite song structure and some of the "lyrics" are recognizable as English words.

Even the OP video contains brief moments (e.g. around 4:20) of recognizable rhythm. Elsewhere, even the distortion is distorted.

I'm definitely not a fan of this stuff - "thrashcore", I'm told - but there may be more musicianship here than is immediately obvious. At least it's an improvement over Justin Bieber and the like.

I wonder what MC5 sounded like to my parents back in '69 (I was 14).

5 pages of just hate and mislabeling, I thought musicians were supposed to be open minded people.

obsidianbass · #88 01-01-2013, 08:41 PM

I'm not really a fan of this at all. And I'm a guy that breathes metal and plays in a very heavy band. Ah well, to each their own. The crowd seemed into it!

I'm very surprised that older musicians today are still repeating the type of closed-minded rhetoric that their parents did about new music when they were younger.

This type of music was around was I was a teen. It SUCKED then, it SUCKS now!

Herrick · #91 01-01-2013, 09:45 PM

Maybe it would've sounded more coherent in person. Youtube isn't the best way to listen to live crazy music like that. Some stuff that I enjoy like Nile, sounds like a big mess when I look up live videos on Youtube. Anyway, I'm not a fan of the kind of music linked in the OP.

That seems like poor attitude to have towards music to me. Clearly there's people who enjoy it. So what deems your opinion superior to their's?

I know this wasn't addressed to me butt...

It's his opinion and that's why it's superior to him. What does it matter how many people like that kind of music? It still sucks it Ubersheist.

It might be a matter of training, or what one grew up liking. I would respect the opinion of a trained musician over the proverbial hot chick, but will play my cards correctly, with both.

pklima · #95 01-02-2013, 02:02 AM

This is a video from 2010. The neon scene era was not quite completely dead at that point, but since then hardcore has gone all serious, djenty, 50s dad haircuts, brown plaid shirts and so on. In other words, it's basically turned into respectable old guy music.

pizzazombie · #96 01-02-2013, 02:19 AM

i'm 15 years old and i like metalcore/death metal/.... but this band sucks

Russell L · #97 01-02-2013, 06:18 AM

There isn't always an age gap. For instance, when I was a teen in the '60s I loved the music from the '40s. And my Dad liked some of the new stuff we were playing then, as well. These days, though, no matter what the age of musicians there just seems to be a rash of bad music. Or, maybe it's in vogue to try to make as much nonsense as possible.

Nowhere near as accurate, or musically talented as my all time favorite band Oh Sleeper. Oh Sleeper in this music video are this good live too. ^^ they are an example of amazing music in this genre. Your video...lol, is not.

And another amazing example of an amazing band that is similar in this genre..Periphery. I will grow an old old man and always listen to music like this. But then again....it's not for everyone. I find music like this is almost like tattoos....they aren't for everyone. I'm also a full time tattoo artist too...lol

It might be the quality of the vid. This music is defenitely not my cup of tea, but it's cool if you dig it. To each his own.
