itt: we post our worst musical phase
>REALLY liking all of childish gambino's albums so much that i unironically considered getting a tattoo of his face.
>but it really was what got me into hip hop so not all that bad at all
I remember liking death metal for a brief phase when I was about 13 - i.e. Slipknot and other major death metal bands.
Looking back it was cringe worthy. At least I never adopted the metal sub-culture and it was a brief phase.
>>65955847
wew
>>65955847
that sounds pretty bad pham. did you wear black clothing and dye your hair black and all those other memes too
>There was a point in my life where I unironically listened to Train and Lifehouse.
I listened to Eminem exclusively when I was in 8th grade. I knew every word and I thought I was so edgy.
Similarly to OP, it got me into hip-hop, so it could've been worse.
metalcore
>>65955803
I became the literal embodiment of lewronggeneration in 7th grade and was a general ass to people
Got me into music as a whole, but God I was a prick
Being an OFWGKTA stan, even typing that word makes me cringe so hard. I went around drawing inverted crosses in textbooks etc
I was heavily into scene music and crabcore shit back in the day and it makes me cringe now. That shit was awful
After that I went through an EDM kiddie phase too. Those were dark times
y
At one point my only 3 CDs were No Doubt's Tragic Kingdom, That Chumbawumba one, the The Presidents of the United States of America self titled album.
>>65956067
EDM is still fresh dont switch ship you´re missing out bro
or do you got anything against massive parties, pussy and drugs?
>>65956085
At least No Doubt is good. And Peaches by Presidents of the USA is nostalgia-core for me
>>65956122
90% of the appeal was me wanting to bang Gwen Stefani, in retrospect. Catchy fuckin' songs tho. Spiderwebs, Just a girl, etc.
I liked Death Grips in 2011-2012.
>>65955847
>Slipknot
>Death metal
>>65956161
I'm convinced Gwen Stefani has found the fountain of youth along with MIA and Sufjan. And No Doubt is definitely fun as hell
From 15-17 I was your typical wrong generation dadrock worshipper and listened to the Beatles, Queen, and Pink Floyd pretty much exclusively during those years.
They're still great bands but I never listen to them now becuase I burned out on them
I used to like metal, and I had long hair. It hurts to remember these times.
>>65956192
>Slipknot
>Music
>>65956291
metal is great tho
>>65956162
fuck you desu
I used to listen to hip hop.
i used to like /mu/core
Underoath
>>65956426
[spoiler] tfw seeing slipknot and Marilyn Manson in August [/spoiler]
>>65956802
Too bad you didn't grow out of the phase of being a fag
>>65955803
I used to listen to rammstein in 8th grade but it was the gateway into better metal and eventually guitar
>>65956751
Ultimate cringe
>>65956862
rammstein is good though
>>65956856
still going strong pham
unironically thought AC/DC was god's gift to music. I was 12 so It's forgivable imo.
>>65956901
For me It felt like for a metal band it was lacking in the guitar department
>>65955803
My high school ska phase (2nd wave ska but still)
I used to like Blink-182 because a couple of kids at my bus stop I knew liked them and I wanted to be cool like them. It was a dumb decision I made, although I can't say it didn't propel my interest in punk music. When people are saying just be yourself, you should probably follow that advice to spare your sanity. Although I can't really shake the feeling that I was already bound to discover more punk music due to me already liking edgy stuff like MCR and Linkin Park, and the fact that I got back into punk rock after trying to move away from it for 2 years because of specific albums that were shared on /mu/.
>>65956802
Underoath is one of the very few bands from that period in my life that I can still listen to.
They were, and still are, pretty great.
Dream Theater, Symphony X, that shit.
I was way into prog meal in college
>>65957141
thank god i didn't listen to any other mid-00s warped-tourcore then. they'd be okay if the leader singer never tried to do anything guttural, he was really bad at it.
>>65957194
>>65957104
>>65957095
>>65956979
There is nothing wrong with these.
>Ctrl F
> No MCR
Well I guess I'm the biggest faggot here
>>65957262
Because MCR were rad.
This. In my sophmore year of high school I got really into bands like Dance Gavin Dance, The Color Morale, I See Stars, Issues... ugh. I didn't even really like any of it I was just being an edgelord. Also had a pop punk phase around the same time. Bleh.

I've repented for my sins to the gods of /mu/ for 5 years now and can confess that I am free of any and all pleb. I am clean brothers, but forever stained by the past
pop punk + metalcore + nu metal
FUCK
>>65957442
Yeah, it be
>>65955803
I thought The Beatles were my favorite band after playing their Rock Band game, and considered "1" to be my favorite album from them.
>>65955969
Eminem's still one of the greatest to ever do it, even if it was for a brief period of time with only a few noteworthy albums
My favorite band when i was 10 was nickeback. When i told my dad he got really mad.
Who /nightwish/ here?
Though I really only liked them because of some 2009-era youtube meme.
>>65958517
wouldn't you be?
>>65958545
Id beat my son if he told me he liked nickleback desu
>>65958443
>bought 2 Lonely Island albums
>when 12
>second Lonely Island album came out in 2011
underage b&
Was obsessed with Deadmau5 and related artists in middle school, and was insufferable about it.
>>65958577
I went through a dadrock phase to a prog rock 2deep4u phase to "listening to shitty EDM on youtube" phase to /mu/core dick sucking phase to my tastes now. At least my tastes aren't so faggy anymore
>>65955847
Must be bait.
>>65958611
I must've been 13. just remembered the school year. thought 12 would be less cringeworhty
I used to listen to almost entirely kpop
I'm still in it
>>65955803
wanting a tattoo of the face of any music artist proves you were, and are, completely braindead
>>65956119
>or do you got anything against massive parties, pussy and drugs?
I like those things. The music is just awful.
for a very brief time, like a couple months, as I was getting into metal I loved 5fdp
>>65955803
Shit, thats fucking nothing.
When i was in 6th grade I listened to shit from the Disney Channel.
Obviously I threw away the cd and tried to block it out of my mind, but the shit still persists. Kind of like being molested as a child.
extreme metal and horrorcore when i was 13
im sure i was worse and one point too but i cant think of anything
i listened to shitty wigger rap till begining of high school and i was a major poser wearing hood and walking arround with my pants low.
It was all very cringy because i had next to no confidence to pull off this image and so alot of people would mock me like ask me to "spit some rhymes" for them, break dance or come up to me and be like "yo yo whusup mah nigga whuz gud". Still i dont hate myself for that since i didnt knew much about music back then.
>>65958526
>tfw still like nightwish
For a while I was really into Death Grips, in hindsight I just cringe
there was a time I listened to hip-hop when i was 11 for a while, I'm glad I grew out of it
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RkZkekS8NQU
i used to like this when I was liek 9, and also europop/hardcore at the same age.
>>65957282
this
>>65957585
>BMTH
their first album was pretty good imo
listened to shitty 2010 era brostep for a while, not even skrillex type shit but like, stupidly bad heavy dubstep
I had both electroswing and synthwave phases
I was one of those faggots that felt enlightened by listening to either
>>65955803
9th Grade - I was into Linkin Park & Fort Minor. Also into popular rap of the time (think 08-09), & Korn.
Cringing as I type this. Not that they were bad bands, but that I thought they were cool and badass. 90% of Linkin Park & Fort Minor is whining, Korn is White Trash & the rap stuff was sub Ghetto-tier.
But this phase made me learn about Golden-age hip-hop, R&B & Classic Rock, so not all was lost.
There was a period in high school where I listened to Fairyland every single day, at the height of my symphonic/power metal phase
>>65961224
>not Sempiternal
get out desu
back in 2014 I was really into indie rock like DIIV, Mac DeMarco, Wild Nothing and Beach Fossils, still feel very pleb about it
>>65961137
damn dude, i'm in an empty house with the nearest neighbor a mile away, and i'm looking over my shoulder as i listen to this shit
>Starting to listen to Slipknot
>label their mp3 files as 'death metal' because they're so badass
>>65957585
>post hardcore
no please dont call that shit post hardcore
>>65962833
>and all that other scene music
Besides homie, theres like 2 good post hardcore albums and it's a little cringey to say that
>>65955803
>so lonely and sad that I went to a babymetal concert alone
>>65955847
slipknot is not death metal you idiot
I had a phase, where I listened to nothing but ska.
I used to be one of those "If it was recorded after the year 1999 I am NOT LISTENING to it" kiddos lewrong generators kind of deal.
That whole phase went out the window when I discovered bands like Franz Ferdinand, The Strokes, and Maximo Park. I still really love Maximo Park in fact.
>>65963183
Holy fuck man. At least you were in a great mood all the time listening to that upbeat sheit
I had a Black Eyed Peas phase. And I'm talking about the post-Monkey Business BEP. I thought 'Boom Boom Pow' was one of the greatest songs ever.
Makes me want to kill myself every time I think back about it. But I was a stupid twelve year old, so it's okay, right?
there was a stretch of about one year where the only music I listened to was videogame music
Before smartphones and mobile scrobbling was a thing. I really needed to make sure I scrobbled the songs I listened on my phone while out. So I played them on my PC once I got home.
>>65955803
Dubstep
>end me
>>65955803
When Em was big I was one of those misfits who would blare his music all the time and talk about how he was the greatest rapper of all time despite never having listened to hardly anything besides Eminem. Dark days.
>>65963749
>he doesn't like dubstep anymore
Listen to this and tell me you don't love it.
https://youtu.be/6CNReX8745I?t=61
There is a percentage of people among you who spent a good percentage of your youth's listening to Limp Bizkit.
Know that I am among that percentage as well. You're not alone.
>>65963595
Not cringe desu. When I used last.fm I would always play the same songs on my PC while I listened to CDs so it would scrobble.
>>65955847
What a bait
>>65964646
That is cringe.
Just scrobbling is cringe.
>>65959518
But extreme metal is good
>liked post-Insomniac Green Day
>thought it was "better" than anything before Insomniac
free jazz
i used to be super "scene" in my tweens/early teens. eyeliner, fucking ridiculous hair that i dyed a different color as often as possible, myspace, i even wore fucking cat ears occasionally. all the usual hallmarks. also, like all the other scene kids hated me.
relating to music, i naturally listened to a bunch of edgy pop-punk, metalcore, post-hardcore, "emo" music. in particular i fucking loved From First to Last. the singer, Sonny Moore (who we now know as Skrillex) was my fucking idol (pic related). i even wrote cringy "fanfictions" about him which i refuse to go back and read.
this was my favorite song

>>65966682
idk a lot of shit. alt/indie, shoegaze, prog, stoner rock, metal. also listen to some entry level idm/ambient but haven't really explored much. pic related is favorite album of all time
I use to listen to music. Thank fuck I got out of that shit.

>2 years of listening to nothing but hardcore punk, pv, and grindcore
I went through two phases in a row
First - electronic is king, and real instruments were bland
Second - opposite of that
>>65955803
listening exclusively to lapfox and wearing lapfox merch AND HAVING A FURSONA on top of that
to be fair i was 14 but still
>>65966655
THATS the skrillex dude???? what the fuck?????
Went through a phase where I listened to only Skrillex my freshman year of high school.
>>65955803
A time when I liked shitty "classic rock" like ZZ Top, Def Leppard, Styx. Thank god I discovered better stuff like Tuxedomoon and The Residents.
>>65967197
thats not that bad honestly
I worshiped Trent Reznor like he was a god and still know all of the words to his music and documentaries-worth of knowledge pertaining to Nine Inch Nails because it truly never left me. I can still have fanboy-level conversations about his music even if I only hear it once a month.
Now Reznor has been replaced with Daniel Lopatin, who I don't read interviews with or stories about and don't follow on social media to keep myself from idolizing him to the point where I can't be critical of his music or listen to anything else. That being said, I spent an obscene amount of money on some of his CDr's, want to get a Replica tattoo (be honest, most people wouldn't know what it is), and moderate his subreddit.
>>65967506
yep. he was a big inspiration to many of us scene kids afaik. i was one of probably thousands who dreamed of marrying him lmao.
keep in mind this was in like 2006, before crunkcore happened and just before the "culture" became well-known. i was out of it by like '09
he even still kinda has that style today, but it's more of a scene-hipster look
>Anime soundtracks
>This was only a couple years ago
>>65966655
That reminds me of The Cure in a few parts
>>65955803
My parents were really religious. Like, protestant fundamentalist evangelicals religious.
Basically the only music I was allowed to listen to as a kid was praise and worship stuff, christian rock, and other christianified genres. I was homeschooled to boot so when I was older (around 16) and wanted to listen to the music normal people listened to I had no idea what to look for. I bought some pretty cringy albums then too based on stuff I saw on vh1 or heard on the radio ( nickleback or greenday for example).

I played in a Crush 40 cover band.
>>65967915
That's rough, I know one person who had a similar upbringing and grew to be so prudish from looking down on normal culture that she's kind of an outcast now, even though she has free reign to do as she pleases.

I unironically liked Nickelback and I bought one of their albums and I still have it help me lord
>>65968506
I mean, millions of other people bought Nickelback CDs too, you could have been a Merzbow fanatic
>>65966889
This would probably represent my cringe right here, for a while I tried so hard to be "patrician", I hated half of the shit I was listening to (I even listened to tmr like 20 times so I could claim I actually liked it), until I realized that there was no purpose in having "refined" tastes, and the only thing with music that matters is how much you like and enjoy it. I'm glad I learned my lesson and got out of that shit mentality though, I can't imagine listening to half of the garbage (imo) I listened to again.
>>65968685
I would rather have been a Merzbow fanatic but having a Nickelback CD at home is such a good meme in itself

it's not 2008-2011 anymore
>>65955996
Same here man, I thought I was so much better than everybody else
>>65969448
Maybe not nmh, but swans is still huge, even outside of /mu/
>>65969480
because they're a band with a good bit of penetration and a fanbase reaching back to the 1980s
it's not cringe to like genuinely good artists

In late middle school and about until the middle of high school I was a classic wrong generation person that only listened to Queen and the Beatles and such and disliked most modern music on principle. I did like a few things here and there though which helped me when I got out of that phase.
Later on I was really into metal but I don't really consider that all that cringey as I wasn't a stereotypical metalhead or anything. And I had a few non-metal stuff I loved too and like the ones I talked about above they helped expand my taste later when I did start looking for other music.
Y'all niggas don't know real cringe
>Unironically singing along to Foreigner's "Cold as Ice" when it comes on the radio in front of this hot blonde that invited you to her place to do homework, then started talking to you about boys, and your friend wanted to fuck her so it was hands off, plus you wouldn't have a chance with her anyway, plus she was kinda dumb. Homework/study/whatever meeting isn't going great, so Foreigner comes on the radio and to snap the tension you mumble a few lines along with it. Oh, and your singing voice sucks. MFW

Oh god, the Nickelback of pop punk. Dreadfully boring stuff. Ocean Avenue is a modern classic though I admit.
>>65973354
Yeah even today i still think they aren't that bad, not the best but not the worst...
Ocean Avenue was a nice album.
I went through a phase where I listened exclusively to albums recommended to me by an anonymous music board. I was quickly embarrassed by my old music taste, instead of looking back at it as important to my development as a musician. I felt like I was better than everyone else because I heard a more obscure album and pretended to like it. I quickly realized that I had become more interested in this board than music, and I quickly left it in order to regain the passion I once had for music.
>>65955803
Unironically listened to BOTDF in 8th grade to try to get this one girl I liked to think I was cool. Unfortunately, I started listening shortly before she stopped. I sang one of their "songs" for her one day near the end of the school year. Partway into it I saw she had a weird look on her face. I looked down and saw I had oceans of spaghetti dropping from my pockets. I stopped about halfway into the song and finally noticed there were about 40 other people present. The hallway was still and dead-silent for about 30 seconds before she called me a fag, followed by everyone laughing. I was neck deep in spaghetti at this time and the fat mexican scene girl down the hall cheered me on for an encore. I spent most of next period crying in the bathroom. I went home and did a system reset on my MP3 player so as to purge the unholy filth from its once holy chambers. To this day, spaghetti still dribbles from my pockets when I think of it, and I still can't look her in the eye.
