the 2000s: worst era in recorded music?

[luka]

do you want to get triple x groovy?

i cant help noticing that 99% of your fascinations could fairly be characterised as 'sick'

All true scholarship comes from a place of sickness.

 

[luka]

mind you you probably had john eden sending you sick fanzines through the post at an impressionable age

 

[luka]

imagine how many innocent youths that man has corrupted

mailing out copies of his photocopied fanzine 'Best of Belsen'

Being a teenager in the early 2000s was weird, perhaps the first generation to know we were living through a moment of stasis and decline? Going over to your mates who had Sky TV and seeing this shit on Kerrang! or whatever:

'Gential Deformation Photography'

I got into Merzbow and Throbbing Gristle at too young an age, found Monte Cazzazza's self-description as "cultural mortician" and adopted it like a cursed amulet.

also a generation that never produced a Great Thinker, in the mould of me or Thirdform.

 

[bassbeyondreason]

I could have been a great thinker if I applied myself.

As it is I just give thirdform my best ideas and lines in Discord chat then let him deploy them properly.

after you've known third for a while you'll start seeing everybodys lines woven into his screeds. its like a Burroughs
cut-up.

this is ahistorical. you were not listening to grime in that era. almost no one was.

In what era? I think I first heard grime in 2003

 

[luka]

2002-2005. very few listeners outside of east london.

 

[luka]

you first heard it in 2006. you were intrigued by dizzee winning the mercury award and decided to look into it remember?

 

[catalog]

Did I say that?

 

[catalog]

I think I was at my friend's flat in Stoke Newington and they had bought boy in da corner but I didn't like it. But I'm pretty sure they had bought ig when it came out. I think it was before 2006.

 

[catalog]

But I also got a cd off a kid in hackney, which had some unknown crew on it. And I think that was also 2003.

 

[thirdform]

What are you on about. It was huge. It defines the early 2000s.

What were you doing in the early 2000s thirdform?

No it wasn't. You could only get it on pirate radio in certain parts of london, and good luck picking it in parts of North and West.

Luke is right, this is ahistorical.
