    This is so interesting, it sounds like a really loud song but nothing is actually loud or that distorted. It's a song that accomplishes being aggressive without having to resort to loudness and screams. A proof of concept

    • @dreamtree1510
      @dreamtree1510 Рік тому +46

      It's the dissonance of the tunings and the chords they use I think, it creates a lot of emotional urgency, their discography is full of songs that evoke similar feelings. I think they're one of the few bands to perfect that sort of evocative nature in their songs, another being Radiohead.

      @@mejganzia5654 Nah, the early days of the internet were great. Things got weirder, more experimental; people'd have their own pages and they'd just do all kinds of strange stuff. It helped that almost all of the early adopters were Gen X, letting our freak flag fly. This continued till about 2006.
      Then, Facebook and the advent of smart phones. Myspace didn't quite wreck things, since it didn't have the whole social thing down to an addictive drug. You used it, but it was ignorable enough. After FB though, communication and social networking through other means atrophied, personal web pages disappeared, etc.

    I read Kim's book and you could feel the pain of her divorce and the betrayal she felt with Thurston's affair. Whatever his reasons it just felt she deserved more then that.

    I still remember when I first saw this video clip on TV, as a teenager living in Jakarta, Indonesia around 1994, and instantly I fell in love with Sonic Youth and wanted to be like them, even though I already knew Nirvana and another grunge bands. But I know Sonic Youth above them all...

    Sonic Youth has always had such a different sound than anything else I listen to but damn their music is always so infectious. Credit where it's due. These folks have talent.
