Terrible bands you used to like -

[Doc Cassidy]

I was at my mom's the other day and while digging through some of my old stuff I found some old Korn albums. I was a pretty big Korn fan when I was in school and since I hadn't listened to them in well over a decade I was excited to rediscover my love of Korn.

Holy shit, Korn is fucking garbage. The music itself is kind of interesting but Jonathan Davis is the whiniest faggot on the fucking planet. At all times he sounds like he's about to burst into tears and he oftentimes does. He constantly whines about being bullied and I can understand why, I would have bullied the shit out of that queer if he went to school with me.

What bands did you listen to when you were young only to realize they were garbage and you now feel deep embarrassment for having ever been a fan? Why are they so much worse than you remember?

Alien Ant Farm

 

[Perverted Cat]

I used to enjoy Nickelback's first couple of albums, but save for a couple of songs by them that are okay at best, they've really not aged that well. And with each passing album, they've gotten worse in how blindingly bland as beige they are. They're about as generic as you can get with a rock band, even towards the beginning of their career.

Not-so-special mention goes to Linkin Park. Let's just say they were a hard rock band with a hip-hop edge to them.

 

[UnderwaterUnderworld]

Blink-182

 

[Black Waltz]

I used to love Linkin Park when I was 8 years old.

All Time Low

 

[Nien Nunb]

Not the worst in the world, but Eminem.

When you stop being too scared to listen to rap made by black people 13, his whole "haha so angry, i kill people!" gimmick gets really fucking old, fast. Tyler the Creator did his gimmick, and then actually evolved and changed, instead of wallowing in his own shit for almost two decades.

Also, never liked them, but Fort Minor. Linkin Park's """rapper""" as a lead. Fucking awful.

When I was in my autistic years (13-1, I liked Black Veil Brides. But then I realized that none of them are actually fucking worthy of being called as a rock band because everytime they make an album it's always in the form of a government being rude or mean to them for liking stupid pretentious goth.

"OH WERE FALLEN ANGELS" translates to "We like wearing spooky things because we like the attention. Little do we know that liking all this black is basically being the same thing as everything else. Dull. Pointless and unoriginal."

The closest I have is the indie dubstep shit when it got mainstream. Anything off Monstercat.

Bush. Had a picture of Gavin Rossdale on my notebook.

Same problem I had with him. In terms of technique he's great, but the subject matter gets stagnant when you've wasted your material on the first few albums.

As for myself, I'd have to say ICP. I remember liking them unironically when I was younger then liking them ironically when I got older. In sea of crap they've put out, they have a few genuinely good songs (Amazing Maze, The Deadly Tower, Homies, Hellaluyah, Bowling Balls, Hall of Illusions). But that all came to a fucking halt when I heard their version of Six Foot Seven Foot, which ruins one of my personal favorite brag raps.

 

[Sergeant Politeness]

Bush. Had a picture of Gavin Rossdale on my notebook.

Bush isn't that bad. I think a lot of people who don't like them just don't like the media-friendly, pretty boy thing Gavin had going on, or they equate generic to bad. I don't think there's a whole lot to hating their music; Comedown is at least as good as anything Kurt Cobain wrote, and Sixteen Stone over Nevermind any day.

Compare them to a band like Puddle of Mudd, less than a decade later, and they're really not that bad. Now that's something actually embarrassing. When I listen to Come Clean, there's bits that sound like they could have a bit of complexity (Drift and Die is a great example), but the production is so nu-metal and fuckheaded, and Blurry is an excruciatingly saccharine ballad. Any surprise that Fred Durst was their mentor and the guy who signed them?

 

[AnimuGinger]

My Chemical Romance.

 

[sbm1990]

Hawthorne Heights

 

[Somsnosa]

Fuckin ACDC, man. I just find the singer's rusty voice super annoying now. I have 3 shirts and don't know what to do with them

 

[escapegoat]

Silverchair. I dunno, man.

 

[NumberingYourState]

Hawthorne Heights

What was with the emo-scene scene of 2004-2007? I could never wrap my head around how angsty that period was hah.

Brand New isn't terrible but it's an acquired taste, theres more songs from them I can't sit through without getting depressed.

Papa Roach. Boy was I easily amused back then.

 

[BubbleButt]

Alien Ant Farm

I was way down with the AAF in high school
