I used to listen to THIS?

I think the darkest page in my musical history is liking Linkin Park.

But wait there's more.

Linkin Park music in fan made Final Fantasy X montages.

I may have won this thread, I'm not sure. =/

But in all honesty, a band being musically crap is one thing, but said band's fanbase and overexposure is usually the killer (and frustrater).

There's nowhere I can't reach.

Hey! I'm ashamed of my emo music, not my teeny pop collection. Catchy stuff = awesome. I have no shame.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

Anyway, I was obsessed with the Beastie Boys from about age 10-15.

Perhaps I'm musically retarded, but I've never thought of the Beastie Boys as a band to be ashamed of. I could definitely see drifting away from them, particularly with their new stuff, but I think I would always be able to appreciate their talent in the end.

In the early 90s I used to New Kids On The Block.

I seem to tangentially know a large number of women (girls) who have freaked out over the fact that the (old) New Kids are having reunion tours. Apparently that love never dies for some folks.

Personally, I think I'm more in Tentacle's camp, where there's not a lot I would say shames me regarding what I used to listen to. There's a good amount I've become bored of, but little I would think of as rubbish. Then again, I'm still listening to grunge, and that ship sailed years ago.

Room on that boat for me? I'd like to add Loretta Lynn to the good list, as well.

Now, keep in mind I grew up in the 70's, so, that pretty much answers the question for me, doesn't it?

Long live disco!

How ya doing, buddy?

No. No it doesn't. Like not even a little. LOTS of music was around in the 70's. It's the particular tripe you may have listened to that may place you in the "cool for cats" or "bee-geers" categories.

We await your answer.

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

In my darkest days of musical incompetence, I went through a brief Linkin Park phase during my latter years of high school.

Another low point would be my middle school fascination with Insane Clown Posse. If you really listen to some of their songs, they're fucking awful but hilarious. Bugz on my Nugz is one of those. It's exactly what it sounds like.

FELIPE NO

I used to pilfer my brother's Creamfields CDs when I was about 9 or 10; 90's commercial trance, oh dear lord.

moves in for the killing blow

Sum 41's Half Hour of Power album was a big one for me. Every year or so I stick it on for the nostalgia value. This was back when I was 11, not that there's much excuse. I got into metal when I was 12 so the former obsession faded pretty damn quickly.

What, you don't want my bikini-clad body?

I DID answer it--with my long live disco comment....

Okay, okay....

There's nowhere I can't reach.

I used to be big into metal music. Stuff like System of a Down, Marylin Manson, Cradle of Filth, Deftones... how I even tolerated such trash is beyond me. Maybe there's a few Metallica tracks I'd consider sparing, but the rest can remorselessly be disposed of.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

I was going to post about Merle Haggard; he is an exception. I saw a concert of his about 2-3 years ago at a casino, and even though he was so drunk he could barely stand up, he could play the slide guitar, the fiddle, the harmonica, sing, etc. etc. very proficiently. I guess it's pop-country I really have a problem with.

I was speaking idiomatically.

I got into Drowning Pool during 10th grade or so after hearing a couple of their songs on the Cooler's Revenge dvd. I tried listening to them again a couple years ago and strongly considered tossing the cd out the window of my car. I also went through a phase where I would listen to nothing but video game/anime music. Which probably wouldn't have been too bad, but on the bus ride to school I would listen to remixes of Megaman themes on repeat.

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

Cradle of filth. Stupid whiteboy music.

I was never that bad, but I certainly owned all their albums up to that point.

What, you don't want my bikini-clad body?

I got into the whole nu-metal thing back then. We even played (I was on drums) Limp Bizkit, Deftones, Korn, and some other stuff of the same shitty kind.

Then I got into the whole Marilyn Manson anti-christ thing, and then the gay vampire stuff Cradle of Filth goes with.

But waaay back, I even used to listen to Backstreet Boys. And I danced too.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

We get it vemp. We don't have an award for winning the thread but we get it.

This. There's nothing I'm really ashamed about liking except for Linkin Park in my middle school years.

I think in general with everyone I've spoken to about where their rock/metal roots stemmed from, Linkin Park were like a bridge into better music. At least they're good for one thing!

Your friends have shitty taste and must be around 10 if linkin park was a bridge to good music.

I was speaking idiomatically.

Limp bizkit!

rollin rollin rollin rollin rollin rollin rollin rollin rollin rollin

and stuff like papa roach. I was in a class with only blonde swedes and that was all they listened too so i had to do it too, peer pressure at it's worst, i know.

no homo

ain't it a shame that you can't say fuck
fuck's just a word and it's all fucked up

Clearly the best of Fred's rhymes.

I'd have to dig through my old CDs to find something more embarrassing, but this is a likely #1:


I asked for this shit for Christmas.

FELIPE NO

I'd consider my taste from five years ago to be about the same as it is now it's just that I've engrossed myself even more in the sub-sub genres of metal exploring black, folk/viking and death even further.

When I was in seventh grade I used to listen to Puff Daddy and Notorious B.I.G. Biggie Smalls at least had some decent tracks but P.Diddy...fuck. And I even went to a concert of Puff Daddy's.

I even got a Macarena mix CD for whatever reason for Christmas one year. Yeah that was fucking terrible. After that, when I entered high school I descended into the madness of nu-metal with Korn, Limp Bizkit, Slipknot, Mudvayne, Static-X, Spineshank and the like. But if it wasn't for that then I wouldn't have been introduced to Pantera, Slayer, Death, Meshuggah and other real forms of metal.

I do listen to Korn, Mudvayne and Slipknot a bit nowadays but they don't dominate my playlists and I don't think they're the greatest bands in the world.

I think it's more that people begin to realise just how crap Linkin Park and the rest of the music they listen to is at a certain age. Definitely not a bridge to better stuff, but it provides a good basis of what NOT to look for when exploring the realm of music.

Most amazing jew boots
