The Band of our Generation

This got me thinking. Every generation has "there" band. What's ours? I'm talking about a band that reaches everyone.

I nominate the foo fighters

P.S: I'm talking like 16-24 years old. NO OLD PEOPLE

and that too.
few generations can have a "band."
maybe a "genre."
this generations genre would be rap anyways, not rock.

Re: The Band of our Generation

Definately not the Foo Fighters anyway.

Why would it be rap Hooah?

Agreed.

Today's music is okay, but pales in comparison to those of eras past. Too diverse. No bands that reach out and affect everybody.

I'll still take Floyd any day of the week.

Re: The Band of our Generation

Well, I view the diversity as a positive. Mainly because I'd be pretty pissed if "our generations band" was some indie band. Or bright eyes. And I like having different genre's that are all going strong.

We probably don't have "a band" because it's so much easier for a band to get heard these days.

Nickelback? :shrug: :shame:

I don't mind their music, but yeah, I'd much rather have had my teen years in the early 90's listening to Pearl Jam or the other Seattle bands. Even better the 80's! All my favorite music comes from there. :2thumbsup:

Re: The Band of our Generation

It's also possible that the music scene isn't any different than it used to be, and that we have "a band" as much as they did back in the day. Maybe in 30 years people will look back at the 2000's and say: "We don't have a voice of our generation like they did with Miley Cyrus". Who knows (maybe someone older).

<3 Andres, +1 for Nirvana.

These little fartknockers have no idea what good music is these days.

Re: The Band of our Generation

Nirvana is for those who were grown enough to be able to listen them by the 90's. That counts "old people" out as obvious.

I'm trying my best to think as even-handed as possible on this and I have to say Linkin Park is the closest.

So, therefore, everyone does? :inquisitive: Like 75% of my friends growing up listened to Country, that doesn't mean everyone does.

Three6 used be to underground horrorcore, but (somewhat sadly) they're more mainstream now.

I doubt this is a thread intended to discuss about preferences Meneldil-kün.

(fyi, Linkin Park is not really a part of my personal preference.)

See, this is exactly what I'm talking about. What the heck does underground horrorcore even mean? How many other groups classify themselves as this?

Good God, I'm 19 and I'm already sounding like a curmudgeon. :dizzy2:

Horrorcore. I don't go in for the really dark, slow, and gritty aspects of it. Lump in a bit of a mainstream sound to make it fast and dance-able.

Linkin Park is ok. Just because Minutes to Midnight was crap everyone hates 'em...
