PO: Drowning Pool - Sinner - September 17th


Recommended Posts

I'm suggesting that being "devoted" to any specific genre is ridiculous in 2021. Go back to high school with that narrow-minded "my genre can beat up your genre" line of thinking. People can listen to whatever the heck they want. Sorry if you can't see it that way.

What was that like?  I have some friends who swear that Slipknot put on one of the best shows they've ever seen, bar none.

It wasn’t as crazy as footage I used to watch back when I was a youth, but they were still good. I don’t get that invested in big arena shows but they had a decent production set up. Would much rather see someone I’m actually  interested in play to 59 people in some shithole with no stage.

I mean, I literally admitted to owning a little sliver of nu metal in my own collection.  I listen to a spectrum of genres and never claimed that "my genre can beat up your genre" or whatever dumb shit you're on about.  People can and should listen to whatever they want... where was that disputed?  I shared a real-world memory affiliated with the artist and album in question, and got accused of trying to be edgy or cool.  So I spoke to that accusation and now it's spiraled to this point.  Not once did I tout "lmao imagine buying this record in 2021 haha garbage tastes ITT sheeeesh".   I still think the genre as a whole is the bread and butter for hormonal preteens and dudes who sip on Rockstars in their modded Honda Civics, but that stance shouldn't inhibit you from pre-ordering this album if you so choose.  You're as welcome to enjoy this LP as much as I am to voice my thoughts on it.  No cute gif or Youtube clip to deflect here – I really don't know how I could be more clear.  If that's pretentious, I dunno what to tell you.

Yeah, I think my friends caught them at a stadium with some pretty high-end effects and setup.  I'm not one for arena shows either, and would much prefer to have a small / intimate show with a great view than a flashy one I need binoculars for.

Come on… that story Derek told was funny whether you like that song or not!

For what it's worth, Bodies was accompanied by SOAD's Chop Suey! and Disturbed's Down With the Sickness during his temper tantrum.  He must've got his hands on a burned CD at school, I'd guess.  I like to imagine that he traded a Lunchables for it or something.

Sounds like he had a nu metal street teamer at school. I remember handing out samplers/singles for all these goofy bands.

Putting my sarcastic ego aside, yes the story was funny. 😆

The story wasn't what I got a salty taco about, it was the "this genre is a joke" comment. lol

That wasn't my scene either, I'm just tired of the hateful attitudes some people have towards various genres.

My generation's version of this was "Bad Habit" by The Offspring and we taped it off the radio. Doesn't have the same effect when the good parts are censored. 😠😄
