I put "you're pretty good looking for a girl" on the jukebox "as a joke"; drunkenly, I rant loudly about how I never liked the White Stripes and, paradoxically, that I liked them before they "sold out" with White Blood Cells. By the end of the night, I'm singing along and buying used The Fall shirts on ebay, posting in a local Facebook group that I "really, really" want to start a band of guys who play nothing but covers of Uffie and Annie songs. Passed out in my own puke,

I'd heard of 100 gecs but hadn't checked it out yet, that tune is pretty cool. It kinda gave me a Blink-182 vibe, weirdly

100 gecs are pop-punk, nu-metal, ska, dubstep, PC Music, trance, and probably several other genres blended and put through an internet translator several times and it’s so goddamn good

Anti-music is I guess a reference to how a lot of it is somewhat satirical and definitely tongue-in-cheek but that definitely applies more to the first album whereas this one feels like they took the actual songwriting side more seriously and actually attempted to make bangers within their style. Either way it’s not “joke music” like I see people characterise it as frequently, there’s clearly a lot of real love and passion there along with the obvious stupid amount of fun they’re having

their singer is great and i love their beats. their album Глаза. Рты. И что-то человеческое (Часть 2) is very good, from what I read it's about a guy and his inner demon, but I can't speak Ukrainian so I didn't understand the lyrics.

it's so weird what happened to Sleigh Bells. they put out a truly incredible first album, managed to follow it up with an okay second album, and then just kinda spent ten years farting out mediocre shoegazy guitar rock.

Numetal is definitely one of those genres that I really wish was not the current one that we’ve decided deserves a critical reappraisal. All listening to hoobastank and remembering being fourteen and telling your dad you hate him.

I miss deerhunter. It seems like they did the stealth breakup in the vein of grizzly bear. Rough couple years to be an indie band with an animal name

It has been wild seeing Deftones have a resurgence (although they never went away and have been putting out solid albums) as apparently the zoomers are getting into them?

They’re not really numetal imo but get lumped in there a lot.

It's a piece of JUNK!
Nü-metal was an awful trend because it was just kind of ridiculous to turn on the radio and suddenly everybody was trying to make you care deeply about their bad childhood over identical-sounding minor chord riffs.

But I don't have a problem with the bands who really meant it. It just happened to be the least fun bandwagon ever.

I'm absolutely too old for 100 gecs, but I imagine the PC Music elements are what most doubters are bouncing off of. "Anti-music" is still hilarious, as most of this is fairly shallow end of the pool compared to most straight hyperpop.

Album is enjoyable, but would be more so if I were 24. Yves Tumor album loving rips, though.

I get all that new music but the M83 is a great balanced and works well compared with the best of his material so it loving owns.

It's got slow parts but that's the point.

100 gecs is fine.

I'd rather listen to Turnstile for a modern day pump up band.
