Hey fuck you blink 182 is (was) the shit.

Blink 182 is coming of age stuff. Their st is one of the only things I like by them anyway. These guys are what, like 40 years old? And still making music like this lololol

Album Rating: 4.5

40 year old dudes rocking like this? hell yeah



look what blink 182 is doing now... yikes

Most bands tend to evolve tho. Look at Swans

most bands stop or decline after 3-5 records. terrible example you duck.

Age is relevant when the lead vocalist sounds like he's a teenager and is making music geared towards teenagers about the same tired themes as always.

Relinquished: fair point. Let me rephrase: most GOOD bands tend to evolve their sound

Would you say that Deftones is music for adults?

Yes

And also no. Sometimes they miss the mark in exceptionally embarrassing ways ("Phantom Bride")

I don't get Gyro's age argument. This particular style of post-hardcore (being the early 2000s style) was popular with a bunch of young teens in the early 2000s because that's just when the style started. The audience grows and evolves, yes, but so does the style of music. It's why we see so many formally "teen" bands readjust their image and lyrics and songwriting to reflect more mature mindsets as they age. This band has done just that, same as many others. Not to say I ever thought this band was "scene", but you realise that with 00s post-hardcore being such a young genre 15 years ago, it is now pretty simply able to resonate with people with decades of age differences due to the fact that it's been around a bit now and has had that time to simmer and reach the wider appeal through age and multiple, "generations" so to speak?

It's not really rocket science, it's pretty basic shit. You don't just stop liking music of certain styles just because you grew chest hair and you matured enough to have a video game boss on your sputnik avatar. The music has been around long enough now to simply grow from its niche and appeal to more people. You can't truly be this stupid, can you?

Album Rating: 4.5

that answer to that last question is self-evident if you read the thread

I mean so many genres were "teen" genres in their infancy. It's that was for a reason.

Early rock music adapted by those young whitey teens. Black metal in the 80s. Hip-hop started by the black youth of America. A bunch of genres in their infancy are based in teen audiences and musicians. But when they all age enough, they don't just abandon it for life, it just stops being "strictly teen" music and becomes music for everyone.

There's nothing about this album that is definitively "teen". Where are the coming of age lyrics? What does "vocals for teens" mean? What do YOU actually mean?? How do you know the target audience is children? Where are you getting these ideas??

"there it goes let the hate flow through you"



I have another path you can all go down...let the five/ flow through you...

It's just baffling me how one person can be so stupid Wolfe! And I've seen Snide!

That's obviously untrue. Do you still enjoy nursery rhymes? Nickelback? Korn? Things definitely appeal to a particular demographic. The juvenile lyrics typical of this genre are usually pretty immature and dumb and overdramatic, as is the music and especially the vocals. So, yeah, you do stop liking certain music. People's opinions change literally all the time

astral you have taken up a futile argument for futile purposes

If anything this genre was at its best at launch. Look at these dime a dozen generic piece of shit bands these days. One of the most stagnant genres ever. Laughable that you think it's been evolving for the past 15 years
