I tried listening to Glow On by Turnstile, and it sounded like 311 crossed with Imagine Dragons. Not all hardcore has to sound like Sheer Terror, but this is horseshit.

Yes! Throw in King Lizard Blizzard Wizard too.

Amyl & The Sniffers are possibly the most overrated band in history.

You tell 'em, guys.

Yo, I turned this on....check 57:00...what the actual fuck is happening here? These kids are fucking tripping. Bring back the Mall Punk, please.

That stuff was from a few years ago. The newer stuff sounds like Machine Gun Kelly or some shit.

I am old but these bands are derivative crap.

I don't dig them either but they're not for me, they're for those kids in the video who are having a fucking blast just like you did when you were watching god-knows-who back in nineteen-ninety-oomph.

A bunch of young whippersnappers getting the olds all riled up because THEY'RE NOT DOING IT THE RIGHT WAY is kind of the way of the universe, like dogs chasing cats.
It's okay. The world sucks right now, let the kids have their fun. They've had different experiences than you.

It's certainly easy enough for us to stick to our own known, reliable, and pre-approved purveyors of properly executed Rock Music.

Of course, it's fine to vote crap in the crap/not crap forum.
But sometimes I can sense (among my cohort) a general kind of "Yeah, have you noticed ALL young bands suck now?" attitude.
"Why does every successful young band totally suck now?" -- What might have changed? Maybe it's you.
I mean, fifty-year olds policing 20-year old punk bands?
Sorry to derail. Get off my lawn. Get a haircut. Pull up your pants.

An aside, but since they were lumped in I'm pretty sure some of those IDLES dudes are nearly my age..

only know that chaise longue tune but its a banger, nc
