Grunge re-birth

You know wiki pages can be edited by anyone right?

 

well duck better get on it then because people have been letting their guard down not labeling godsmack under the nu metal genre .

 

They're listed as it on this nu-metal page though:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_nu_metal_bands

Was grunge not popular throughout most of the 90s? (The Alternative Rock channel here was playing it heavily even into the early 2000s)
Is it impossible for children to listen to music?
Is it impossible for children to listen to their older siblings' music?

Me and my sister used to toss on my brother's copy of Smash and dance around like morons when she was as young as 3, which would be the year after it came out.
I stole my brother's President's of the United States of America cd when I was in like 2nd grade..

 

Ok there ya go add em up on their page, journalists never make mistakes. LOL make sure to delete that post-grunge label on the Godsmack wiki page as well...

 

I could've accussed you of taking nu-metal out of Godsmack as well...

Wtf?

I'm outta here.

 

Thank god maybe some worthwhile discussion can be had now.

 

you know you need source to back up your editing right? there for your talking out of your ass.

fail

 

using wikipedia as a divider of music genre.....

hahahahaha!!!

i fookin' love this world

if that ain't the best indicator that grunge really really must come back (or rather be reinvented, by this generation) i dunno wot is :mickey:

 

Never saw a more evident indicator in my life...

 

What shall we appeal to for a neutral source because we've obviously seen where individual labeling of music gets us.

 

you guys are silly. who cares what genre or subgenre a band is labeled. Its just a label. It doesn't take away or add anything to the actual band, unless the band is striving to fit in with a certain genre, in which case their general lack of individuality and suckiness should keep you from discussing them anyways.

Personally I don't really care if grunge is coming back or not. I like bands that create their own sound and that are original and inventive. If a band like this comes out and someone labels it neo-grunge, I probably won't pay any attention to the label. And if a band comes out that is just recycling the sound of the early 90s, I dont really want to listen to it.

its necessary for us to categorize and I think its actually good thing. It does give us some perception of what a band like before hearing them but IT DOES give us a perception of a band before hearing them. Im not going to sift through every band that has a cool album cover or has dreadlocks, so how else are you going to decide what to listen to and how to discover music? By labeling bands that either sound similar or of the same music scene/movement at the time as a genre.

Some of the genres can be uneccessary and silly and grunge may be one of them but there is no doubt a huge difference between the hard rock music coming from nirvana and alice in chains then the hard rock music coming from poison and motley crue.

lolz I dont know what happened with the posting. Sowwie

 

Categorizing in music might be neccessary as far as marketing music, but I find that the bands that really try to create a unique sound cannot be so easily categorized.

 

I'm actually in between on this one.

I think genres are helpful for those who want to find music, and of course, communicate their thoughts about music (as that's what all words are labels for, aye?)
But too many subgenres really convolve discussion.
Metal is a prime example of way too many genres. Some of them I'm not even sure how to distinguish.

But genres are also bad in that they can also screw up the perception of a band. A band can get typecasted and lose popularity because they are exploring somewhat new grounds; or they can get somewhat overlooked by many because they are associated with a genre that those many don't usually like.

Really, I have to admit that I agree that the argument me and guerilla were having towards the end there was pointless (about the classification of specific bands). But I think our original argument (or my original argument) is a somewhat more legitimate one..

 

the rebirth of grunge, i honestly thought it died back in the 1990's well mid to late 1990's. wow grunge being reborn, how old school!

 

Exactly. I wish people would stop likening Deftones to Korn and Limp Bizkit. Those bands were influenced by earlier Deftones, however, Deftones has only grown and grown as a band.

Have you ever heard Chino Moreno's side project Team Sleep. Love it so much!!
