Popular Post Broskirose Posted September 12, 2014 Popular Post Share Posted September 12, 2014 (edited) I'd like this to be the one thread on the forum where people who don't listen exclusively to guitar rock can discuss music with each other and talk about new releases they're into without being met with annoying rageposts from people who think that they are "hipsters". So yeah, it doesn't have to be actual hipster music. Just the broad definition of "hipster" music that some people on this forum use. As in - basically everything besides legacy acts and Wolfmother. Please keep this thread free of the following: -dadrock -age arguments -Lemmy Kilmister -classic rock magazine articles -"talent" arguments -loltrent -AIDS -bandanas -Mike420 Remember that this a place of sanctuary. Be respectful of each other and make it a positive thread for fans of music. Edited September 12, 2014 by Broskirose 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Broskirose Posted September 12, 2014 Author Share Posted September 12, 2014 Funny parody but please read the OP. You are in direct violation of our guidelines here, and judging by your music taste you are probably better off just staying clear of this thread in general imo. Feel free to create a "Guitar Rock Sanctuary" thread if you wish. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lithium Posted September 12, 2014 Share Posted September 12, 2014 Just got this t-shirt on E-Bay. I'm going to wear it ironically, just like I do with my Three Wolf Moon shirt. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

estrangedtwat Posted September 12, 2014 Share Posted September 12, 2014 Brobro....I was thinking about Nails the other day and I'm curious what you think about the lyrics.I know you're drawn to the music and instrumentality first and foremost...but do the lyrics and vocals matter to you?For me, I first got into them around summer of 92 and I was listening to Pretty Hate Machine a lot. Even then, the synth stuff sounded really dated. Wasn't a huge fan of the "sound" compared to other music at the time, cause it already sounded kinda 80s to me. But I LOVED the lyrics and vocals.And then when Downward Spiral came out, I was a 16 year old that just got dumped, and that mopey shit was like heroin shot right into my dick. And the sound was so much heavier...it was just better all around than PHM.But when I kinda got over the teen angst I couldn't really relate to everything from The Fragile on. The emo angst sadsack shit was the biggest draw for me.What do you think of NIN's lyrics? Just ignore it and focus on the music? Or do you enjoy them on some level?

ET my hooray for tolerance!, Let me put it this way, the more "personal" or "angsty" lyrics I do not care for and feel similarly as you do. Same goes for the vocals really. I think his voice was a bit annoying and nasally up until With Teeth. The introspective lyrics just don't gel with me and I could take or leave them. For me it's more about when he goes for the kind of shit he did on a lot of Year Zero. Those are some of my favorite lyrics ever. The whole concept of that album is genius in my opinion. Songs like In This Twilight, The Warning and Me I'm Not for example are the kind of lyrics I love from him. Mr. Self Destruct? Nah, I'll pass. Though I'd say probably more than half the stuff I listen to by Reznor is instrumental anyways. Whether it be his OST's with Atticus, the Ghosts album, HTDA or various album tracks. I don't really care that much for PHM, Broken or TDS. The Fragile, Year Zero, The Slip and Ghosts are where it's at as far as I'm concerned.

estrangedtwat Posted September 12, 2014 Share Posted September 12, 2014 For me, it was specifically Head Like a Hole and Something I Can Never Have that first turned me onto them...with Wish and Downward Spiral afterwards.Do you remember the first NIN song that really got your attention and made you a fan?

Or is that totally unrelated ? Don't know her, will look her up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you remember the first NIN song that really got your attention and made you a fan? I cringe soooo hard at Something I Can Never Have lyrics. I think it might have been Piggy? I still dig that track. I started with the basics. Downward Spiral, Pretty Hate Machine etc. Don't really care for most of that era now in the same way I don't care for GNR's early stuff either anymore. I'd like to declare my love for Ariana Grande here. clinteastwoodnod.gif Edited September 12, 2014 by Broskirose Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wasted Posted September 12, 2014 Share Posted September 12, 2014 I think I only ever bought the Head Like a Hole ep. After that they went machinestream.
