Title: I want to bring back nerd rock....
Post by: feedthegod on Apr 18, 2010, 03:58 AM
Yep, I've been rocking out to Hum and Weezer tonight. Not sure why, but it's been kind of fun. The early to mid 90's were a lot of fun with the change in music and the shift to rap rock and even some nerd rock thrown in. I know it might not be a "real" term, but I've decided to call it nerd rock. Bands like Weezer and Hum were kind of nerdy bands and I enjoy their music. I was listening to them at the same time I was listening to demo of Deftones, Korn, Marilyn Manson and Machine Head (yes kiddies, I was most likely listening to Deftones before you were born). Those bands have lost their luster and I'd like to bring them back. Who's with me!!!

There was something so innocent and losery (new word fuck you scrabble!) about their music. It's something we lack in todays over processed bullshit autotuned music world and it didn't have a long enough run. I'd generally say throw away your D&D and come get a 6 string beast, but these days you probably need to throw away your pokemon and naruto and rock the fuck out.

This thread is pointless if you haven't been drinking and playing guitar like me, but it's still fun. :)

Also, as a side note, I'm going to post another thread about this years revolution of 90's music....check it out...lol

Best Weezer album to listen to for a first time listener who only really has heard Buddy Holy and Hash Shite?

90`s rocked...i was watching Nickelodeon,killing Tamagotchi and discovered the Limp Bizkit (without them ,i`d never start to listening metal-like music)
i borned in 86 ,so i was a kiddo during the 90`s, but sure enough those were the  best years of my life.So far.
About Weezer:if they will ever write good songs again,i want to bring them back too!

Apollo, that hum song is one of the best slowest songs ever. It makes me feel like I'm a little kid in the moon.
