Listening to Punk and Hip Hop in the old Tony Hawk games gave me my musical foundation.
Lovin is what I got 🎶
I wonder how much rhythmic games like Guitar Hero and Rock Band has changed or expanded people’s taste in music.

Have you ever listen to Mac Demarco, I doubt it, he’s too indie for the ‘average’ listener 😪
@@elmotm5441 ??
Yeah, I also know this SUPER underground artist called Tame Impala, dont tell anyone though because hes our little secret 😏🙄
Only real nathans have heard of BROCKHAMPTON, not normy skum
To be fair, you have to have a very high IQ to understand Mac Demarco The musical arrangement is extremely subtle, and without a solid grasp of theoretical music theory most of the songs will go over a typical viewer's head. There's also Mac`s nihilistic outlook, which is deftly woven into his characterisation- his personal philosophy draws heavily from Narodnaya Volya literature, for instance. The fans understand this stuff; they have the intellectual capacity to truly appreciate the depths of these songs, to realise that they're not just wierd songs- they say something deep about LIFE. As a consequence people who dislike Mac Demarco truly ARE idiots
And yes, by the way, i DO have a Mac Demarco tattoo. And no, you cannot see it. It's for the ladies' eyes only- and even then they have to demonstrate that they're within 5 IQ points of my own (preferably lower) beforehand. Nothin personnel kid 😎
Hammer Of Justice u good?
Punk music was the first music I fell in love with
Same
prolly arouund 8 years old i remember hearing david bowie fame on the radio and seeing a sex pistols doc on mtv and those are my earliest memories of being fascinated by music
It gave us a voice. It made us realize, well for me at least, that you don't have to take anything you just do you and what you think is right. It told me to be self expressive about my interests and to question things. I was never into loud heavy music but punk just spoke to me it felt like they were singing about my life by people who looked and acted just as strange as I was.
If my dad hadn't introduced me to the sex pistols I would have never discovered so many others and my life wouldn't be worth living.
I freakin love punk music it means the universe to me.
Sorry to hear that.
When I was 14 my little brother introduced me to 2000s pop punk. I went from like Simple Plan and New Found Glory to Green Day and NOFX then finally to actual 70s and 80s pop punk and hardcore. Love the Ramones, Misfits, Black Flag, Sex Pistols, Dead Kennedy’s, Descendants, Minor Threat, and many others. Also got into Thrash Metal when I got into classic punk. Slayer is good lol.

Earth AD has one of the best album covers of all time. I really really really wanted to like it but I just couldn't. I wanted it to sound like The Accused.
Oh hi!
It's cool
Jesus Christ it's one of the best hardcore punk albums ever, dang I listened the shit out of it back in the 80s.
instablaster...
Nobody sounds like the Accused!
who is this wallet salesman and why is he talking about punk music
I got into hardcore punk from RATM's cover of Minor Threat's "In My Eyes", but it wasn't until I started drilling Dead Kennedys albums into my head and watched clips from The Decline of Western Civilization that I really fell in love with it. Got me into Black Flag and FEAR. I started making friends who were also into hardcore punk and went to local shows at VFWs. I got a chance to see Keith Morris play in OFF! and it was my first mosh pit, which was my favorite moshing experience to this day.
My buddies loved The Misfits but I couldn't enjoy any of their stuff. It just felt too tame and I wanted to let out my aggression.
Several years later, after going through post-punk, no-wave, anarcho, crust, d-beat, grindcore and getting into extreme metal, I stumbled upon the Earth AD album and I loved it. I still haven't made the time to revisit their other albums (and tbh I'm not expecting much from them again) but maybe I will.
I'm just now getting into it
My experience with Misfits and punk is kind of funny. They're the first punk band I got into and when I listened to other punk I couldn't get into it because of fixed expectations especially with Danzig's singing. Earth AD I'd say would be my favorite album by them. (Was so pleased there was finally a good Earth AD shirt that came out recently) But later on I finally appreciated more things like Black Flag, DK, Poison Idea, Fang, Germs, etc. Even to this day I still feel I haven't appreciated punk as much as I should like I had with hip hop. I think Cancerslug is a good example of a band that has a punk feeling influenced by Misfits while doing something original if you haven't heard them.
Anyways, I think Earth isn't appreciated like it should be and some don't like the production. But if you want to get into heavier music (black metal bands definitely were influenced by Misfits and Samhain and even Danzig) it's a pretty good start with the train off the tracks sound. Wolfsblood would be my favorite song.
Misfits ability and talent stands above others in punk music and I feel like they don't get alot of their due because of the B movie aesthetic and how 'mall goth-y' the devilock image is
What's crazy is that they wrote the vast majority of their best stuff all before they were 21, they were REALLY young.
Earth AD is fkn sick and my fave cut is 'Blood Feast' - I got to see them perform it live and it ripped.
American Psycho fans rise up
Graves was a much needed change of sound for The Misfits imo. mans made the band relevant again (briefly)
@@benandrews4737 Christ the Conquerer is proud of you!
Because Misfits have different political ideas
The Misifits I find to be one of the most gateway punk bands, they're just so good everybody likes them.
I hated blues until I started to learn how to play guitar. Once I found out how deep it’s influence on music was, I was able to listen to it with much more respect, and enjoy it.

It’s interesting how experiences differ from person to person. I remember the Misfits being my introduction to punk and being absolutely entranced by their music. They are one of the few artists that I never had to have “grow on me”.

Melon hated punk when he was young, and then he turned 6
We are polar opposites. When I first heard the misfits, I was 14. Last Caress was the song and I was hooked. I began a life long pursuit in collecting punk and hardcore albums. Metal represented everything I hated about music. It was a clean, sterile sound. It didn't have the raw agression I was looking. My buddy disagreed, he gave me a pig destroyer album. After that I dove head first into grindcore, death metal and black metal. Finding the raw aggression I was looking for by leaving my pretentiousness at the door.
Not quite a 180 or 360 but more like a 270? But the smiths are band that I hated then liked but now I'm totally indifferent to
A 180 then a 90
Fractured/Image that happens to everyone
I couldn't stand Hip-Hop, Jazz, Ambient, heavy or even just weird music of any kind for most of my childhood. Not to be a stand but I discovered Animal Collective around 18 or 19 and they opened my ears up to appreciating music that sounds different from what I usually hear. They just switched my mentality around and since then (after burning through their discography obsessively for a year or so) I've been in the mindset of branching out and I've found a lot to love in other genres. I've found that I usually stick on the experimental edges of any particular genre but my taste has been filling out that middle ground over the past couple years now. I owe quite a lot to this channel to be truthful, I love and appreciate the work you do and find tons of new music I enjoy from your reviews and recommendations.
I felt the same way but with metal. I think it just takes one or two great artists or bands to hit you in the right way that you can come to appreciate a whole genre, it's pretty crazy.
i’m still an adolescent, but i think this counts: since 13/14 i really only liked classic rock, and then 90s & 2000s alt. rock, and then hardcore and older punk bands have really grown on me in the last few years and I was really really against POP of any kind. i thought it was mostly bland, substance-less garbage, but i realized that’s not actually the case: there are a lot of pop artists and records that i really love and have been listening to alongside everything else, and something actually that the Melon said that’s stuck with me is (roughly) “it’s impressive that so many pop artists have remained relevant through the years, as it proves hard work and effort”, and now i unabashedly and confidently listen to anything i like without worrying about stereotypes or what other people say about it, because liking britney spears doesn’t make me a poser
I was really into the Ramones since 1983 but I was into their highly Produced album Subterranean Jungle. But wasn't hard to like Misfits, Bad Brains and Black Flag. I was always weird and I urgently needed punk other underground music.
punk music drove me to the realization that you dont really need to be good at playing an instrument or be able to sing in order to make good music.
i think some member of the ramones once said: "dont wait until you can actually play before you make music because then you are never going to do it. how do you know you are even going to get a lot better? just get out there and do it!" or sth like that. very inspirational stuff.
also consider bands like Flipper for example.. their songs Ever and Life are two of the best punk rock songs ever made in my opinion even if i cant listen to songs like this all the time i still have to admit they are memorable and they stick with you. the lyrics are pure poetry. simple but hard hitting.
i sincerely hope that there will always be weirdos rocking some clunky tunes because music shouldnt be a thing reserved to stadiums and people making music should be a very common thing. just imagine only those who are really good at drawing or painting would try to create something. wouldnt that be awful?
Don't you dare go Punk'sthony Deadtano on me, melon.
I've always enjoyed the sound fast guitars and drums out of punk (especially skate punk when I was a lot younger) but like you said it took me time to soak into the underground hardcore stuff. Perhaps I wasn't ready or just wasn't familiar with all the heavy stuff. A good example is that the Ramones and Sex Pistols was my gateway to the 'actual' punk stuff and wasn't ready to for bands like Discharge, Varukers, Poison Idea ect. Now I like all of them for different reasons and I no longer just expect punk music to sound like the Ramones and that shit.
I got into punk through the Dead Kennedy's. A friend sent me a link to Soup is Good Food through AOL Messenger in second grade because it was his mom's favorite song. After that, I loved a lot of the typical hardcore and punk staples, but despite that, I still must have heard Jawbreaker a dozen times before it sounded like anything that was listenable. Of course now, 20 yrs later it's great, but it cracks me up thinking about it.
The reason you liked metal is why I hated metal. Too clean, too edgy, too fake deep, it just felt so tryhard IMO. I loved the idea of a small group of guys in a garage giving zero shits messing with a guitar, bass, and drums and making something sound cool to some recording they have in their basement and letting people lose their shit for fun.
For me the genre I took a 180 on was Hip-Hop/Rap/Trap. I hated it because I thought it was so minimalist and musically it wasn’t that awe inspiring or exciting. Lots of overrepitition and nothing really that explosive that interesting to keep me invested for the whole song. I eventually realized though that this is because the music is supposed to supplement the lyrics of the song, and wasn’t exactly the main focus. Then looking through a rappers lyricism I got more and more impressed the more I listened to popular rappers like Kendrick and J. Cole.
Glad you made this A-fan. Im reading through "Our Band Could Be Your Life" at the moment, and it has really shifted my perceptions of punk. Bands like Minor Threat, Mission of Burma, and Husker Du were putting out some high quality music with very little resources studio and management wise. Thats definitely another aspect to this category of artists that I appreciate.
I was appalled by hardcore punk at first as well. My initial run in with it was The Decline of Civilization that I saw in October 2018 and it's intensity and ferocity definitely opened my eyes. I grew more to it especially in Summer 2019. Since then Black Flags took the place of my favorite band
Anyone have some upcoming punk/hardcore punk/metalcore albums that I should look out for? I always keep my ears open, but I know a lot of people know some lesser known stuff. Cheers and much appreciated in advanced!
@Lukas H Thanks! :) Do they have a new album coming out or no?

I’m a big horror fan so I’ve always loved Misfits, but I found it so hard to get into punk because it was too raw and not heavy enough. I love metal and it itches that scratch for a really full sound. Discovering hardcore by bridging the gap from thrash metal is what helped me get into punk. Also some mainstays from a pop punk/emo phase I had as a teen helped too. I’m a much bigger punk fan now
I decided to buy one of these nifty wallets, a week later the principal at my school told me to empty out my pocket for any drugs and he thought that the wallet was a weapon or a pocket knife so I got sent down to the front office for questioning until I told him it was a wallet I bought online
I hated most - if not all - of my favorite musicians before falling in love with each of them. Bands like LCD Soundsystem, Death Grips, Joanna Newsom, etc. (those aren't even great examples) If I listen to something and have an instant visceral hate reaction, like 8 times out of 10 I expect it will grow on me over time.
Very surprised to know that, Earth A.D. is Misfit's best album imo. The sheer chaotic energy and just how relentless the music is overall makes it a tad better than Walk Among Us and Static Age. Green Hell's main riff sounds like a freight train coming towards you, it's awesome. Hardcore Punk masterpiece.
No mention of Static Age? Different sound from the misfits, on the slower end, but way better song writing, and interesting concepts. Plus, Theme For a Jackal is so incredibly doors influenced, its rad as fuck.
I can still remember transition from One Direction to *MY WARRR YOU'RE ONE OF THEM*
How can you hate punk when the blue hearts exist?
I hated the beatles when i was younger because i was an edge lord. Now i can cry and feel without feeling like a pussy so to say the least i love the beatles and look at the past me quite humorously.

Hey Anthony, I have a question. We are both bass players who understand how much time and effort it takes to play at a proficient level. Did that ever turn you away from certain bands?
I know when I was in high school, I honestly felt kind of robbed by Bands like Green Day, Blink 182 or even Nirvana who’s musical composition mainly consisted of power chords and was only really drawn to bands like Rush, Primus, Dream Theater and Iron Maiden who are all evidently technical marvels. I was wondering if you ever felt the same way.
Growing up I really hated hip hop, I think mainly because I grew up in the bling era. I still don't like a lot of the artists from the time or that aesthetic. But when I found out Tyler the Creator, Odd Future, MF Doom, Blackstar, Bone Thugs and Harmony, and I started to dig into the more golden age stuff as well as Biggie Smalls's discography, did I being to appreciate the sound more.
I remember buying Earth A.D. on CD for the first time and all my friends saying it was the best record. Upon the first listen, I felt the same way you did about it. I hated how it sounded like a demo, and keeping in Mind that the album before it, Wall Among Us, was amazing, not what I expected, and thought my friends were busting my balls. Upon second listen with a lyric sheet I grew to kind of appreciate it slightly more, but I don’t see myself playing it too much in the future.
Didn't like hip hop for a lot of my childhood and going into my teenage years because I thought it was mostly trash, 1 from my dad saying it was and 2 never finding anything that really appealed to me outside of a few radio hits here and there. I think the turning point for me and many others like me was when Good Kid M.A.A.D. City came out and that record really got me to appreciate the art.
I got into the Misfits in 1995, because a friend gave me the EVILIVE tape. The sound quality sucked, but I was looking for the roots of thrash and death. Plus, I was burned out on the "alternative" music coming out.
I know you hate "Fat Lip" by Sum 41 but how do you feel about the rest of their discography? I quite like DTLI and Chuck, and their newest album was surprisingly good, especially when considering Deryck's health.
Blues, Jazz, Rockabilly, & Rock&Roll from the Late 50's Early 60's I didn't get into much until later on around 2010 after I discovered the American Folk Revival & Tom Waits, eventhough Misfit's had a bit of Doo-Wop going on in the song Saturday Night off of Famous Monster's (personal favorite) which really does have some classic atmosphere's on the album as a whole which makes you feel like you're at a Classic drive-in double horror feature on a Saturday Night kind of feel throughout the record. Which btw, that album has been in my collection since 1999 when it was released and is one of my favorites eventhough I don't listen to much Punk at all ... yet.
Also, EDM as a whole didn't come into play for me until after my Metal years. Then I became a Drum&Bass Head overnight & I still have my turntables ready to throw down at a rave. Starting a Metal Band too.
it took a long time to get into powerviolence but after relistening to weekend nachos - unforgivable for the 5th time, i was obsessed
Hey Anthony, could you review the new Blu album?
Anthony, do you have any thoughts on the band Leprous? Thank you for the content.
Hey Anthony, I'm not sure if you check comments on old videos. Lol I'm probably going to get hate for this, but I felt obligated to give my insert on "Famous Monsters" and I think it's more of their "highlighted" albums. For the ones that are going into the misfits for the first time. I have to say I like this one not because, yea it's smooth and not as heavy as their other work; but there's something wholesomely, preserved about it. I honestly like it, because it sounds as if The Killers made a more experimental, aggressive, punk/metal sound. Lol what do you think?
I was basically the same man. Wasn't til college back 20 yrs ago (holy shit that's a long time ago..), that my roommate at the time, basically forced me to learn to appreciate punk music. And for that I am eternally grateful to him for. I still love my metal music, but also equally love me some punk music (not all punk is created equal, though..). Ultimately probably relate to the overall punk ideals, more than that of Metal, tbh. To this day 20 years later I'm still rocking out to all that shit, and no doubt will be for the next 20 years. No way am I gonna be some bogus old fart, when that time comes.
Misfits were my favorite band growing up!! Still have all their albums (minus the jerry only lead albums) fucking killer. I hated rap music but it grew on me and now I’m listening to a lot of underground rap stuff
i remember when i was 13 i didn't like a lot of the gta 4 soundtrack, the hardcore station, the indie station, the ambient and electronic stations, now i love that soundtrack
Country. The older I get the more I can understand the lyrics and storytelling of those old timers like Johnny Cash, George Jones, and Merle Haggard.
Country had a fairly long era of greatness. Modern pop country (already spanning back several decades), however, has had a very consistent effect, in general, of giving me the urge to take an icepick to both ears. I've resisted the urge, but it hasn't gotten any easier as time goes on.
Hated Converge the first time i heard them, specifically the song no heroes... Then in college my buddy got me really high and we listened to Jane Doe front to back and I finally saw the light
First time I ever heard The Pod by Ween I was so repulsed. I got the idea of it, and I enjoyed other records of theirs like GodWeenSatan, or their later more adventurous stuff, but The Pod took that irony too far for me, it was just the worst experience, so sludgy and boring for 80 minutes. After that, I became more accustomed to artists like Swans and Godspeed You! Black Emporer and Captain Beefheart and started to really enjoy some ambient and drone music, and I revisited The Pod to find it hilarious and genius. Definitely my favourite Ween album, and a fantastic record all around. Basically 90's take on Trout Mask Replica
MISFITS were fking badass, static age, walk amoung us, earth a.d, famous monsters, etc. Also, Bad Religion was PERFECT skatepunk with good lyrics.

Opinions on modern punk? (Orwells, bass drum of death, fidlar, together pan, boats, meat market, cheap time, ty segall, Ron Gallo, black lips, etc.)
Well, my first Tape was Kings of Metal by Manowar when I was probably seven and my first CD was Killers by Iron Maiden with Paul Di'Anno when I was still seven. Somehow both these records still have at least a slight, even if unconcious, effect on my musical taste. BTW I'm 38 and i still like both records.
Same thing happened with me and black metal. That was the one genre of metal that took me the longest to appreciate, after having dismissed it before.
I was in denial about my love for hip hop until I started slonking Gang weed
comment of the year
I think you should review the “Teen Suicide” album “Bad Vibes Forever” or other “Teen Suicide” albums
When I was a teenager (14 in 1994) my buddy loaned me Nine Inch Nails - The Downward Spiral and I instantly became hooked. I knew they were labeled as industrial and that's pretty much all I wanted to listen to. Went from there to Ministry, KMFDM, Skinny Puppy, Frontline Assembly, Leaether Strip, Einsturzende Neubauten, Throbbing Gristle, etc. Eventually I got to the point where I couldn't stand conventional guitar based music (metal, punk, rock, pop). I was sort of an electro snob. Sometime later another friend loaned me Neurosis - Through Silver In Blood and told me it was industrial. As soon as the guitars kicked in I wanted to throw it out the window. Months later I was driving down a pitch black country road and decided to give it another shot. Listening to the music while in near total darkness and isolation really allowed me to focus on how powerful the music really was. Now it's my favorite album ever and it opened up my childish perspective to be able to enjoy all sorts of music.
I used to not like Metal because I couldn't understand the lyrics of heavy songs. But I did grew to appreciate the bass, beat, etc; plus I look up the lyrics if I can't tell.
Melon, have you heard the band the Darts ,they are on Alternative Tentacles and Dirty Water Records, they played at jellos b day party i heard.
Melon speaking to my soul right now. I used to hate punk, thought it was a bunch of talentless hacks recording random screaming into a $2 microphone. I was into classic rock and grunge, caught up in my own self pity and angst. The turning point was when I started going to hardcore shows, seeing the unleashed rage and aggression firsthand. In Vice's mini documentary about New York hardcore, John Joseph talks about hardcore unlocking a feral, primal state in your mind that's enlightening in a way. That's kind of what I felt when I finally got into it.
I am really interested in your opinion about the punk-progressive-avant-alternative band called "cardiacs"
I virtually hated all types of nu-metal or anything along the lines of linkin park, slipknot, etc. because my older brother would blare it so loudly in the room next to me. I also hated that if he knew I liked them he would constantly try to talk to me about them so I just avoided them. This also applies to pop-punk bands like Sum 41 (hurhur not pop-punk) and even green day.

everybody seems to like this guy so much but he bullies leather vallets relentlessly calling them "old, bulky, disgusting" like please stop this man
as a guy who grew up on hip hop and hardcore punk in the 80's (glad to see Dead Kennedys mentioned by the way, they're practically the reason I started to learn English), I used to HATE country and disco. Those 2 genres I just couldn't..... Then around 35 I discovered some Johnny Cash and Donna Summer/Georgio Moroder, and that was my musical 180. So two 180's actually. a 360 maybe then!?
I think I had to get into both proto punk, and post punk before I could really appreciate punk punk.
Pretty neat video Anthony but I don't see how stabbing Cal with a Ridge Wallet is going to make me want to buy one
