Bands you used to like but now realize suck
 

This is a list of those bands growing up that you thought were cool, and liked, but revisit and realize that they're bland or generic...

-Stone Temple Pilots: I still like some of the singles (creep, ILS, Trippin), but I revisited some of their albums awhile back and man... There's not really much there apart from the singles, and even a lot of those haven't aged too well... Definitely see why so many purists despised these guys back in the day.

-Everclear: I used to love the "So Much For the Afterglow" album, no idea why today.

-Lit: Still dig My Own Worst enemy, but I used to love that album too... Would sit around listening to it with friends while playing NHL on Playstation... Today I listen to it and it's cringeworthy shit.

-No Doubt: I used to love this band. Saw em live at a small theater when Just A Girl was their only hit. I was in love with Gwen Stefani... And well, we all know what happened with No Doubt and her... I listen back and songs like Don't Speak really suck. Spiderwebs is still pretty cool though.

-Sum 41: I loved the album with Fat Lip. Fat Lips still cool, but the bands a one trick pony... Not much to really like there.

Don't Speak is awesome, just overplayed.

Korn used to be my favorite band from 14 to 18. Now, I can't even bring myself to spin their stuff even out of nostalgia. I couldn't possibly feel any more distance from an old favorite than I do with that band. There is just literally nothing there for me anymore. I listen to their music and it sounds like diarrhea farts with some manchild whining over the top.

3eb is still my shit, tho.

hehehehehehehehehe

ugh good charlotte. like, wtf? idc if i was 12, i knew it was awful still but i just had such a thing for those twins. i only listened to the first two albums though before i quickly became addicted to afi and then cradle of filth. i realize all three suck now. T_T but every so often i listen to a track from any of 'em. nostalgia?

Green Day and a bunch of other pop punk bands

I saw Good Charlotte live in 2002? I think? But they were never my thing, I was chaperoning my sister who was about 11 I guess. Her and her friend dressed me up as a "punk" for the show

agree with everclear, also

Lol I was gonna list them, but I still understand the appeal and can't quite say they suck. One of my best friends is still a HUGE fan. But yeah, I have literally no nostalgic appreciation for em. The old music does nothing for me anymore.

Besides maybe Beg For Me. That's still a good jam. Seeds kinda dope too.

I used to have this Life Is Peachy t-shirt where the Korn logo was in giant letters on the front of the shirt in that sparkly silver stuff that's on the ZERO shirt haha. No wonder I was such a loser in those first couple years of high school

Pixies

Yeah, came in to post Korn. There's probably a few tracks I'd still consider good from the first four albums - Blind comes to mind - but I can't be assed to really go back and revisit them.

I came to realize Sneaker Pimps had absolutely nothing apart from Sixx Underground, too.

This better be some sort of sick joke.

They're old stuff is reasonably charming but they're just not very technical

Foo Fighters, Oasis, and Bon Jovi.

Maybe they don't completely suck but gah!

Are you technical though

I like Green Day's late 80s and stuff all the way through to 2000 (like some other band I can think of) but then they turned terrible. No shame for me. AND I probably would have killed you and/or your sister to go to that concert back in like 2002.

I saw Bowling for Soup with a friend in middle school cuz it was her birthday and that's what she wanted to do, and bought me the ticket. SO BAD.

:rofl: I might steal this quote and make it my new location.

I listened to Play Me w/ Nas the other day, and the D.O.S.E Woolleyback remix of Got The Life. Otherwise...yeah. Different time, different person.

I am also sincerely repulsed by my end of HS/freshman in college taste in music, a la Bring Me The Horizon, Norma Jean, As I Lay Dying, The Devil Wears Prada, Underoath, Saosin, Symphony In Peril, In Fear and Faith, Blessthefall, Every Time I Die, All Shall Perish, The Agonist, Heavy Heavy Low Low, Mindless Self Indulgence, Oh Sleeper, As Cities Burn, and MANY MANY fucking more. All that post-hardcore/metalcore/xXx whatever bullshit. Sad thing is most of my concerts were seeing bands like these, since there were frequent HUGE label tours back about 10 years ago and since I was like 18-19 I was at prime concert attending age in terms of free time and energy. My boyfriend was 26-27 at that time so I could also drink and have him pay for tickets. Only positive about that time was I always had bad ass hair.

(I still like In Flames, The Bled, Glassjaw, and a few others though)

-Seether
-Cold
-System of a Down
-Disturbed
-Lullacry
-Bush
-Guano Apes

bands i liked from middle school to high school that i don't routinely listen to any more at the very worst amuse me - and sometimes pleasantly surprise me w/ songs i'd either forgotten about or never realized how good they actually were

Aw AFI. Sing the Sorrow is still a good listen once in a while.

Shit, them are some deep cuts. :eek:

I had a whole slew of those import CD singles I paid like $20 each for at Sam Goody. Pretty much every single from Korn's first four albums. For fuck's sake.

I have no idea why, but I thought I was reading a post by Disco King until about 2/3 of the way through.

That's not a sarcastic knock on the length of your post or whatev, my brain is just fried and I found it amusing after the fact. Just thought I'd share.

let's not get too crazy

oh for some reason I was briefly into My Chemical Romance in 11th grade

I went through a Ben Folds Five phase briefly. When "The Unauthorized Biography of Reinhold Messner " came out I just couldn't even pretend to like it.

Purchased it and listened to it a lot and just hated it. Over and over again.

Franz Ferdinand

They are pretty bad! That said, I still kinda appreciate them for their badness now.

There's no sex in your violence, slunks!
