You Can Be Alive Through ANY music era

[Bob Loblaw]

So what time period and where would you pick?


I choose the NYC area circa 2000. Screamo was really getting into full-swing then & I can only imagine how incredible it would have been to see a show packed full of fans of Saetia, Jerome's Dream, Reversal of Man, etc. That genre was never going to get popular or well-known, yet people put forth forth so much time, money, energy & effort to fight for what they believed in.

I edited the title so this thread would pertain to music and not just picking some random time period you would have liked to experience

Lol bob I will top your post.

I say Id want to be around in the early 2000s with the explosion of the Nu metal sound. Linking park, pop a roach, tantric, limp bisquit, korn, slip knot, etc. Oh man what a time to be alive!!

 

[Bob Loblaw]

OMG nu-metal/industrial

LOL

Ughhhhhhhh!!!


Whatever floats your boat, eh ?


My second choice is the late 1970s touring with the Dead.

 

[ChickenScratch]

Mid 80's arena rock.

Big sounds, pyrotechnics, screaching guitar solos, denim, tits, big hair, hard drugs, booze and make up.

Seriously.

 

[Droppersneck]

My real choice would be hands down the early to late 60s dylan/band era followed closely by the outlaw country movement of the 70s followed closely by the Allman brothers duane era.

I wish I would've been in my twenties, living in Seattle during the late eighties/early nineties. I would've loved to experience the music scene first-hand, not retroactively through youtube.

 

[Tryptamino]

I would like to be 14 years old in 1984 in seattle so I can discover the violent femmes, pixies, sonic youth, nirvana, soundgarden, the melvins, and all my favorite indie-rock and grunge bands during my adolescence and young adulthood.

Go home Loblaw, youre drunk.

I pick 1930s-1950s Finland (my current location) because like 50% of the population was on Heroin and/or Cocaine.

Lol, sometimes I always get (recruitment) when I'm drunk

turn 18 in 1972

die in jail by 1990

 

[draevon]

Post-WW2 Hungary. 1-2 years after, maximum. The worst, heart-breaking part of our history, but I'd want to go there and EXPERIENCE the whole event, a nation brought down by tears --- or make a change in history forever.

Also, Woodstock. Fucking hippies, man.

B-but what does that have to do with music, friend?

 

[Seyer]

Seems I was drunk when I made that post and didnt notice the subforum. Feel free to UA.


Early 80s Finland to witness the rise of Hanoi Rocks %)

 

[Bill]

^ I don't think you were the only one drank
It seems a certain op could have been a bit inebriated as well

 

[Bob Loblaw]

Expect my people to call your people regarding slander. (Or would it be libel?)




I'd also like to be alive during Joy Division, when new wave/post-punk/whatever was on the TV & radio.

 

[ebola?]

OMG nu-metal/industrial

LOL

It's not at all okay that you aggregated these. You know what else wasn't okay? Being a teen during the late nineties, when nu-metal reigned.

ebola
