THIS DECADE IS BETTER BECAUSE PEOPLE CAN ILLEGALLY DOWNLOAD A MASTER ALBUM AND LIKE UNDWRGROUND METAL AGAIN AND ORDER A MASTER SHIRT AND PREMADE VEST WITH MASTER PATCH ON EBAY THE NEXT DAYYY

You might say that the kids today have transcended the underground?

true.
but shit man, i implore you to go back to the 90s, especially if you are from Massachusetts, and re-visit how bad it was to endure a plague of horrendous groove-hardcore-metal bands, fronted by assholes with bleach blonde whiffles, wallet chains, tribal tattoos etc. with names like "STOMP 187" and "RIOT 425".....

I do get laid a lot more so far this decade then in the 90's. I guess there's that.

The 90s did have some awful stuff going on, especially the late 90s.

with the exception of the pre-made vest, i read the above and just think "more people listen to master, that's cool". but again i'm one of those crazies who doesn't get affected by other people finding "my" shit.
[Feb 9,2012 2:33pm - Josh_Martin ""]
I guess Van Halen is a fuckload better this decade than in the 90's too
[Feb 9,2012 2:33pm - arilliusbm ""]
true, I doesnt really matter. what I always ponder though, is ease of access to "underground" metal good for it? It is no longer underground. Metal hasn't been underground for years, thanks to technology.
[Feb 9,2012 2:39pm - burnsy ""]
How is metal not underground? In my circles of friends that don't listen to metal at all, they are totally clueless. Ease of access doesn't mean people more people are actually going to access it.
[Feb 9,2012 2:40pm - arilliusbm ""]
Eastcide = 90s better
[Feb 9,2012 2:40pm - MikeOv ""]
I appreciate the 90's for the little things, such as being a kid trying to score a dime and actually getting high off of weed. It's when I picked up the drums and when Helmet released their best material. Oh the memories.

well, it's not like a band like BLASPHEMOPHAGER will ever be played on MTV or something..... if my Justin Bieber-loving neighbor wants to go and get their releases, she can in two clicks, but she won't. i feel "underground" shit is still underground and will always settle to the bottom in the underground.
remember back in the 80s and 90s, you had metallica filling stadiums, slayer was filling a bit less than that, megadeth, iron maiden.... and on the other hand you had the most underground shit ever like Mortuary Drape....
to me it will always be represented by a similar spread.
[Feb 9,2012 2:47pm - arilliusbm ""]
"underground" I guess, should be a subjective term.

hahahahaha, sadly i have...... i need to watch some horse-porn to clean my mind now though, thanks.
bullshit just that bad existed back then, we just didn't live in the hyper-informationally-blown-out-bizarro-internet-exposure-to-everything reality that the internet enables these days. in the 90s, your exposure to human trash like this would've been less.
[Feb 9,2012 2:50pm - arilliusbm ""]
I would argue the ratio of people who enjoy "underground" metal is the same, if not a tad more.. But there's a whole bunch of more fans today because of the younger generations. This has been quite noticable in the past 10 years or so. I guess metal will always be an "underground subculture" , but now it's much easier to get into it and hear of bands. The internet has changed a lot, for both good and bad.

who knew that aril could incite a deep argumentative thread in which some elitist tries to play off the fact that he is not, indeed, an elitist.
welcome to the internet dickhead, now fuck off

fair assessment.
edit: this was in response to the "underground ratio" post.

only being an elitist of the 90's is real. in a music world full of bands like Vampires Everywhere, i wear the fucking badge of honor.

I broke down in the middle of fucking nowhere in maybe 1994 and I had to walk really fucking far to use a phone, plus I only had enough change at the fucking payphone for one call, with no stores or people for fucking miles. So i called AAA but I couldn't even tell them exactly where the fuck I was because I didn't know nor could I pay for the fucking tow because I only had 10 bucks, no debit card, credit cards.
There isn't as much danger in going off somewhere unfamiliar with cellphones and gps. And I don't swear as much as I did in the 90's. Technology calms me in the worst of times.

I dont remember any of that shit. Zoog disney? Wtf is that? Hey Arnold? Fuck that Zionist show. Aaron Carter? Late 90s.
all of those graphics were made by kids who were born in the early 90s.

- I have no idea who most of those people are.
- The Disney Channel was always called the Disney Channel and it was a premium channel that only future hipsters had. Once in a while I would get a free preview of it for like a week, get excited, and realize all the shows sucked and Mickey Mouse is the least entertaining cartoon character ever.
- And the Etch A Sketch was invented in the 50's
