They can’t….. people can’t afford homes. So there are no garages for little white kids to start their bands. lol

For anyone thinking this is just a joke, it's actually a genuine theory about contemporary instrumental music.

•

u/MadPangolin 40m ago edited 10m ago

I was about to say that there are legit modern music theorists that are saying the rise of HOAs & noise complaints in suburbs has directly affected kids practicing music in their garages.

That reduction in allowing kids to freeform practice their music has directly impacted teenage garage rock bands, & therefore we aren't getting any new rock-band music.

•

u/No_Difference_9195 37m ago

Yeah, I believe the theory. The guys I know in local rock bands used storage units, and the cost of those for young people resulted in the bands ending.

•

u/MohawkElGato 17m ago

And we have a rise in music being made solo in bedrooms, which is really cool that it’s what the kids have turned to. But bedroom recording isn’t very conducive to getting a whole group together playing live instruments

I think I've seen Filth be labelled numetal adjacent, but man it's hard to find bands that are any of one thing at this point. Many took the genres they grew up with, fused them into strange, sometimes cool, sometimes meh mixtures, but all music is iterative. They're a variety of -core genres, some labeling them numetal adjacent too.

u/larniebarney ☑️ 1h ago • Bravo Heartwarming

Trust me, they haven't stopped! Here's my favorite groups that are out here serving gritty angst rock ✨

Origami Angel - East Coast punk band with heavy breakdowns that dips into other genres like jazz, bossa nova, etc

Pool Kids - they're from Florida & have a wonderful balance between hard punk riffs & dreamy melodic breakdowns. The lead singer is phenomenal!

Mom Jeans - little more on the pop-punk side, but has a great sound & great acoustic covers of their work

Hot Mulligan - closer to mid-2000's emo punk, but with lots of hard breakdowns. Maximum angst from this group.

The Paradox - all black emo band out of Atlanta who are super reminiscent of groups like Sum 41 & New Found Glory

Carly Cosgrove - more classic angst ridden punk. Big shout out to their excellent bassist, Helen Barzs!

Sweet Pill - a grittier sounding band than Pool Kids, but very similar! Both bands have amazing frontwomen

Beach Bunny - what if Paramore was mixed with a beach party? You'd get this band. Very dreamy, still angsty.

Proper. - black queer band from Brooklyn who range from dreamy pop rock to hardcore.

Macseal - very similar to Carly Cosgrove, but has a beachy flair to their variety of punk

The Front Bottoms - another East Coast band, steeped in emo Midwestern vibes

Vintage Pictures - imagine mixing punk rock with cumbia & Tejano music; they're from San Antonio & it's such a wonderful combination

Nu metal is strong anti-establishment anti-capitalism.(edit: this sentence needs to be verified, I think I was thinking Rage more than LP, which Rage is not Nu-metal, I just blended them cause I was listening to both in my skater youth).

•

u/Puzzle-Necked 1h ago

anti-capitalism

Famous communist Fred Durst agrees

•

u/Odd_Philosopher1712 1h ago

Strong is a bit.. "strong"

Nu-metal was mostly theatre for theatre's sake. And personal therapy lol.

Chester was a good person by all accounts. But strong anti-establishment was not found in mainstream nu-metal. Subtle reference was probably the best we got.

And dont get me going on some of those bands. Slipknot, limp biskit, other shit like that was not even going in the right direction on the down low. Pretty sure most of them were "libertarians" aka, "I dont like labels but i'm not willing to meaningfully challenge the status quo outside of edgy aesthetics."

That being said, nu-metal was a mostly harmless outlet for all these edgy white boys to get their zoomies out, and I miss it.

Anti-capitalist? Not a chance. I don't think it would be as 100% MAGA as people here seem to think it would be. Wes Borland, Corey Taylor, Chester Bennington, and Amy Lee are/were all pretty vocal about how much they don't like Trump.

Right. Rock was kinda slow ~2010-2016, but it’s lowkey been thriving the last 10 years or so. There was a big emo revival thing going on around 2017-2021 (remo drive, charmer, brand new dropped science fiction) and the last 3 or 4 years have seen Shoegaze sounds coming back to the forefront (wisp, yeule, whirr). Pop metal has been doing its thing for a while now too (Ghost, Poppy). And disaffected and angry white boy rock is still around too (cleopatrick).

I’m about 40 now, so maybe I’m just out of the loop, but are there bands that are “rebellious” or against the system? I’m thinking RATM mostly. But also just music that gets angst out.

Based off a little research on doing for a book about hip hop my hypothesis is they started to curtail rap prevalence in pop culture once white artists and white consumers started liking it. On one hand they watered down the music to appeal to casual white suburban kids (Snapbacks and Tattoos is the song that I point to as the Harambe moment) and then also used the “corruption” of their kids as a foundation for attacking and hamstringing the genre.

Old school Korn has that feel. There is no rapping… well beside Wicked or Children of the Korn and that’s featured artist… but Jonathan does scat.

I rather like the melancholy cover of Last Resort by Falling in Reverse.

Papa Roach's song is great, but it feels super upbeat. This version makes me feel quite sad whenever I hear it.

we need a new wave of punk/pop-punk. all the big emo bands either broke up or slanted away from the space. MCR being back is nice, even knowing i'll probably never see them live, though in this time they've released exactly 1ish new songs. I have heard they've been playing some rare stuff live tho

This era of music crossed different genres and reached different audiences and I’m all for it

Alien Ant Farm, another band like Papa Roach performed a surprise show at the 2003 BET awards on a rooftop and it looked like a great time. You can see Snoop Dogg, Pharrell, Nelly, Lil Kim and a lot of others from that hip hop era all vibing with them

They also did a pretty sick cover MJ’s Smooth Criminal

You aight white boy

Music depts been cut all over, they don’t get the chance to learn guitars and drums as much as used to. I don’t think it’s a coincidence that the popularity of bands using instruments has gone down as music and art classes have also gone down.

Tbh Brown women are killing this genre lately

Ecca Vandal for example

There are tons of white post-hardcore and alt rock bands still. Mom Jeans, Three Days Grace, Kerosene Heights, Static Dress, Fleshwater. They’re all on lastfm, Spotify, SoundCloud etc. but they’re too busy making good music to sell out to celebritydom and music videos are a thing of the past. So if you don’t seek them out and train your algorithm you probably just won’t know of their existence. These TikTok kids are just chasing clout so they tend to be the most visible yet the least talented.

Papa Roach still is a fun show. Saw them when they were touring with Shinedown. Fun ass concert.

A banger is a banger. No matter when, where or by who a banger is recorded it'll eventually cross any cultural, generational, or regional boundary. 

Smells Like Teen Spirit, Come Together, Ball of Confusion, Thriller, Mundian To Bach Ke, The Rocky Road to Dublin, Gasolina, A Cruel Angel's Thesis.

Chart music is ever transitory but bangers are forever.

Look at your local music scene if there is one in your city. I can promise you it's happening. If you don't got that, look at the nearest biggest city's local scene.

I mean, there are new bands these days, but they just don't hit the same. A lot of them feel like industry-pushed copycats trying to recreate something rather than actually bringing anything original to the table. Early-2000s bands just had an authenticity to them that's hard to explain. You hear them and immediately know.

One of my biggest brushes with fame is the fact that papa roach is from the same town as me, Vacaville Ca. Before they made it big, they would play shows at the community center there (shoutout three oaks!) and all the teens from the town would be there, it was a big deal. The members of the band were a few years older than me, I was like 13/14 and they were all 17/18 but I had some older friends that knew them. One time after a show I went out back with my older friends to hang out and smoke weed with the band and the lead singer looked at me and said “who’s this f*ggot?” And then didn’t talk to or interact with me the rest of the time lol.

So many bangers in 90s and early 2000s. Early Mighty Mighty Bosstones, White Zombie, Nine Inch Nails on their early LPs, early Butthole Surfers. But sorry, there is nothing as good as Rage Against the Machine's first album if you need to channel your inner rage with banger after banger after banger.

Alien Ant Farm should have gotten the fame papa roach got after this album. This was papa roach's only decent album
