How old are you and where are you from?

I believe this is mine. I graduated high school in 94.
Lol, youre one year older than my sister.
I dont really know if my generation had a song... circa 2003?
-
-
How old are you and where are you from?
Haha, not that old ;D Just found that song and saw a good chance to post it here :D
-

Haha. I remember that year well.
Maybe your song is 'In Da Club'.
I remember that year from that song, for some reason.
I was stationed at Ft. Knox that year. Had a blast!
As I'm sure you can tell, I joined the army late.
-

Hey, bro. I didn't mean it to say you were old.
We are all a certain age. Ain't a damn thing we can do about it.
I was just curious. Thought you might have a story behind it.
I would like to hear it, that's all.
-
my generation by the who. ;D
-
Probably this song, it was the song of a war, and it kinda captures everything falling apart on our watch, the economy, the war, and generation nothingness.
-
For Wes it was Yankee Doodle Dandy ;D
-
everyone is cashing out with their EBT, health care, food stamps, welfare, etc...

gare, ever realize we are the last generation with any real movement or progression? really what has pop culture had since cobain??
-

More like the wild grunts of some caveman banging his chick in the ass.
-
-
Hmm... if talk "high school" I guess this would be one of these:
Damn...what memories...
-
My generation was kinda gay apparently...
-
-
-
What's defined by your "generation"? Year you were born? Year you finished school? ???
-
For Wes it was Yankee Doodle Dandy ;D
You fucker! LOL ;D

It was no better in 1987

You do realize that the whole alternative movement was nothing but trends created by what were modern studio techniques at the time. The heavy compression which was the sound of the 90's was better suited for slow tempo riff based music than it was pulsating rythms of the 80s.
-
There are bands who will be remembered just as well ar Nirvana that are performing now.
That kind of fame takes retrospect, however.

wrong. "grunge" was the antithesis of the vapid "party party" 80's glam rock that was popular right before it hit. it put 1000 poofy- haired, lipstick wearing musicians out of work. The bands were all about inner turmoil and alienation, and feeling disenfranchised. which apparently struck a chord with the majority of the youth at the time.
this
got brutally pwned by this
I remember an interview with a few of rock's "old guard" and Jon Bon jovi was whining about these new bands who play "weird tunings" and sing "out of pitch", and Robert Plant was crying about it as well.

Lol
First off I said alternative not just grunge.
Second do you even know what audio compression means?
Third your citing what virtually every single record label on the planet was saying in 1992 hardly original.
The fact that you even mention the out of tune singing and strange tunnings of the these bands shows how little understanding you have of what I'm talking about.
To sound loud in the 80's, you needed loud vocals,(shout singing like in motley crue, or the siren singing like in maiden or van halen), for the guitars and drums, you needed high tempo with fast picking guitars, like def leopard, judas priest, van halen, even old metallica.
Than around 87, production tech changed rich bands like GnR s based on these simple riffs and singing, that sounded loud when overly compressed took over for a short time. Once these techs became more common the old 80's style started sounding dated from the get go. By 91 RHCP, The Black Album and Nirvana made the old shit sound dated.
Even metallica became simpler more riff based, with softer more raspier vocals, because surprise surprise thats what sounded good. Everyone acted as if it was some great social awakening or some bullshit reality was it was just a bunch of folk that didn't understand why there old music started sounding like shit all of a sudden.

I wasn't trying to be original. i was speaking the truth
I've heard that bullshit argument before, and i know what compression is dickhead. it's true that studios were able to get a denser, thicker sound to guitars more EASILY in the late 80"s....but PLENTY of bands were getting that sound decades earlier. You've heard of Black Sabbath...right?
and Drop "d" tuning was a signature sound of grunge pioneered by KimThayil. i don't know if he invented it or anything, but he certainly used it to his advantage.
and now let's get into subject matter. "sound" aside...the reason alternative was ALTERNATIVE, is because it wasn't the same old shit on the radio, the bands talked about real issues and life, not fucking groupies

So please explain to me the deep meaning behind Give it away, and what exactly kurt kobain was really trying to say ::)
And black sabbath were far from compressed, they were godfathers of both grunge and metal.
Sure other bands had compression even def leopard had a good bit of it, but these styles of music were not geared towards those technologies. There were other parts to it, but the all of a sudden feeling was a product of the technology.
My point is these bands were not original, didn't even sound that much alike, but why they took over and became popular was simply the tech of the time.

Calvin, it's just like your mother - that shit don't come around often, you gotta hit it again sometimes

When I was 13, this change quite a bit of things:

have you guys seen LAST DAYS by Gus Van Sant? a funny yet tragic story based on the last days of kurt cobain.

Seen it. Pretty difficult to watch, very slow, no dialogues. But a haunting movie if there ever was one.

i think that song "bodies" by drowning pool is appropriate
it came out around the time you became an adult, not to mention 9/11 happened along with the economy going to shit :)

Agreed. All the bickering aside, it's pretty well rounded, it covers the themes of the era at least somewhat, was popular in its time, and it dated enough to be for only one era.

that's the whole point, they wrote lyrics that were not cut and dried "party anthems", they were introspective, deeply personal and meant many things to many people.
compare that with fucking "cherry pie" LOLOL...you don't have to be Freud to know what the guy is talking about.
and the rest of your argument just doesn't make sense. you just said Sabbath are the forefathers of grunge and metal, and there was no "compression" in the 70's yet they had that same guitar sound that was aped in the early 90's. you are proving my point for me, and using it as an argument...nice work.

I don't care about this dialogue about the deepness of the 90's, all I can say is if you think give it away by the chille peppers wasn't a party anthem your high, and kurt cobain would write about complete nonsense just as often as he would write anything about lyrics, and I don't even care about this part.
Actually my point was riff rock and throatier singing became more popular as a result of the tech, which is exactly what happened. Musicianship wise hasn't changed in over fifty years, you can here the bulk of licks played today by modern guitarist, back in the 30's more often than not. The only real change is the production techniques and the tech's availible. Big band gave way to jazz, because it didn't require large bands to make big sounds, which gave way to rock because it only needed a three peice to work.
In the 90's this sudden popularity of a made of style of music, was simply the types of things that sounded best with this technology.
We've all heard it, either you heard sandman or teen spirit in 91, and the whole world changed instantly, what it really meant was the same old crap, but you were wowed by the production techniques, even though it was the same old thing for some reason it was just magical.
-
My personal opinion is that the whole "grunge" scene in general, and Nirvana in particular, are highly overrated.
Id go so far as to say I think Nirvana fucking sucks. But that may have something to do with me being from the Seattle area.

well that's half the reason these bands were popular. so there is no point in having a serious discussion with you.
and it's funny because aside from Alice in chains, most Seattle bands were decidedly LO-FI in their studio approach. listen to "ten" from pearl jam, it sounds like it could be live...there are no monster overdriven guitars to be found anywhere on the record. Same with nirvana. they have a power pop sound, but nothing that hadn't been done before...or cutting edge, just loud electric guitars, which have been around since the 60's.. it was the dynamics of the songs, the light/heavy shifts..and the SONGS that made them popular.
i hear what you are saying about studio advancements, but to say THAT's the reason alternative and grunge hit big, is silly. people have been using power chords and overdriven guitars for decades before the early 90's...ever heard of BOSTON ?
and all music is derivative, no news there
-
Grunge/Alt rock became big because people were sick of the manufactured "pop" that mainstream hair metal band had turned into. Grunge was the anti-hair metal music.

Lol how can you mention the light heavy parts of nirvana, which is a hallmark of the compression wars, trying to hipe up a second chorus/bridge whatever, and not get that nirvana rode on the tech. Nirvana, were pretty much a punk band even they admit to it, they sounded more polished, slower tempo'd and made heavy use of dynamics all things that were the 90's sound.
I'll agree the lyrics, hair styles, the economic times were all part of this, but that is common in any other trend in music as well. To be clear what separated the grunge movement from punk/new wave/ thrash/ nu metal indie/ whatever, was the fact that it wasn't just a just trend it was a technological change.
The reason it happened only once, and won't happen again was the technology of the times. Bands will always go through rehashing the same old stuff over and over, unless it's a tech it's not the same.

I can't even talk to you anymore about this. The pixies, not nirvana..were the ones who pioneered the light/heavy music swing. nirvana was a punk band, there sound was anything but high powered studio sheen. they turned up their fucking guitars, like thousands of bands before them. it wasn't some magic compression pedal. there guitar sounds like the sex pistols more than anything.

Compression was a trademark of the 80's metal sound.

Hate to break it to you, but the Jews were highly influential in the Antebellum South, Judah P. Benjamin being the Secretary of War for the Confederacy. Also, a Jewish man is the only reason why Monticello still stands today. Uriah P. Levy bought, restored and made sure Monticello would remain an American Landmark. Uriah P. Levy was also the first Jewish Commodore (Highest Rank possible in the Navy) of the United States Navy and War of 1812 Hero. He bought Monticello in 1834.

Do you wanna start comparing audio files, from the 80s versus the nineties, obviously the process started in the 80,s even I said that, but the music wasn't geared towards it. Granted compression wasn't the only technique, gating, eqing and the general overproduction techniques that were used in the zeppelin era, was part of it is aswell. Albums were geared towards cd's no longer casettes.

You mean you "couldn`t care less".
The point is, you have been shut down by those greater than you, and rather than walk away, you continue to defend and indefensible position. Either you are mildly retarded or insane.

That person wasn't you know was it ???
You don't know jack shit, nor does groink, and if YngiweRhoads wants talk about this and cite some actual examples, I'm all ears. And being a professional musician don't mean shit, I know more than a few, and grew up around musicians and for the record my brother is a sound engineer eat shit numb nuts.
The production techniques of albums in the 90's is well documented, just because someone's a musician, is far from a production engineer, if he got some real experience producing granted his opinion might hold some water.
Anyhow here's a list of articles.

I will give mikmaq a bit of credit, as digital production techniques made getting sounds that were previously reserved for elaborate studios more accessible to everyone.
But to say THAT'S THE REASON alternative and grunge hit big, is just ridiculous. he is completely discounting the art and inspiration that goes into making music, songwriting skills and the culture in general. Big movements like the Seattle scene are a perfect storm of a lot of different factors. not a studio advancement. i can't believe he actually believes that.

Lets be clear, here I never from the start said grunge, I said alternative, and mentioned metallica, and Red hot chille peppers from the start, I even mentioned Gun N roses as being part of it as well. It's not the only factor and even I said that, but it seems to be the main reason that alternative music took over, and even the reason that genre exists. CD's came out they changed the way people listened to albums, if you look at the top 20 rock albums of the 90's pretty much all of them were atleast in part products of their technology.
Blood sugar Sex magic(91), made the chilles, and it was a product of there time in the studio with rick rubin he got them to stop the slap pop and move on to more melodic album based music(shit anthony can't sing)
Metallica had the black album(91) again another u turn where the band slowed the tempo's, built an album from the ground up in studio, and changed there singing habbits.
Nirvana made nevermind(91), basically a sell out by indie terms, using loads of dubs, and etc, to give it a smooth but rough sound. So much so when they made the next album, kurt got in a major legal battle as he wanted to make an album that was cut down not so poppy , eventually the label forced a remix of the album but it shows a theme.
Far as I know these were the biggest trend setters of the 90's, and production was at the heart of everything they did as it was the true introduction of cd's.

Metallica is metal dude. RHCP were a funk-based band out of LA. GnR were straight ahead blues based, arena riff rock. your definition of "alternative" is dubious at best.
when people think of "alternative" and the early 90's , they think of Seattle first, and then bands like STP, Smashing Pumpkins, Screaming Trees, Janes addiction, Weezer, Radiohead..bands like that...not Fkng Guns and roses, or Metallica .

Only on Getbig could this thread turn into an argument.

I hadn't read this thread thoroughly enough, but I'm going to assume that MM is talking about the loss of dynamic range on recorded material and how it changed the way we hear music.
I'd agree that essentially it began in the late 80's to early 90's.
Dr. Feelgood, The Black Album, Empire, 3 Sides to Every Story, The Spaghetti Incident etc, had essentially begun the loud, compressed, 're-mastered' phase of music.
Now, the sound of the bands themselves is an entirely different thing altogether, and what I'd written previously still stands.

This song is great, but just too depressing.
In that way, it reminds me of "Yesterday" by The Beatles.
