Quark Posted October 22, 2021 Report Share Posted October 22, 2021 As someone who enjoys listening to a little bit of all of these things, this is particularly entertaining to sit and watch. I feel like Switzerland, only less....you know......yeah. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Punksnotdead Posted October 22, 2021 Report Share Posted October 22, 2021 No problem with people slagging off a musical genre they don't like. But I don't like the inference that all punks were walking around wearing swastikas. None of the punk kids that I hung around with would have dreamed of it and would have got a slap if they had.

Punk gave us Idles. Although I do tip my hat to any punk fans who made it through Idles' bit of Live On Worthy Farm without spontaneously combusting out of embarrassment. We can join together wincing at idles cringey nature, at least it got an actual reaction from us. Disco has limped along, picked up randomly by pop acts out if ideas (even, sadly, Daft Punk). I see decent, raw, upcoming acts perform every week. Funny how you don't see anyone in their late teens/early 20s limp through a disco set it's for boring oldies. There are no exceptions. My horizons are perfectly broad. I am right. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The DIY scene it created went on to have a massive impact on the dance and rave scene. Imagine being talented and deciding to play... Disco? Better than dressing up as a wizard and doing a 10 minute keyboard solo to be fair. Is this why all the bands you post in the new music thread are shite and sound the same 😂😂😂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I was but a child, my sister had a party in our house that included a bunch of French exchange students. They all went mental to this, including one who pogo'd into my mother's very fashionable ceiling lights and nearly knocked himself out. I will forever love that song just for the memory of that but it is indeed a banger. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some of the best, most exciting sets from DJs I’ve seen over the last few years are disco ones. Certainly plenty of exciting stuff in the genre and it’s loved by so many people around my age in their twenties and definitely isn’t for oldies.

If you like that then you will love circle jerks, black flag, the germs, swans, teenage jesus and the jerks to name but a few. You just need to go in with an open mind. I think you should spend all weekend locked in your room listening to a 100 punk albums and @priest17 will do the same with disco.

At the time Joy Division were also in the poop over their nazi name too, and I love the Skids!! There is no excuse for John Peel, it was never a good thing Prog rock ffs. PiL is the best band ever. Trout Mask Replica is Beefheart's worst album, people only pretend to like it. Jazz should only be used as a punishment. You are @hfuhruhurr and I claim my ten pounds. Either that or shameless plagiarism to get a reaction. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
