Hmm, I'd have to disagree with Thurston's statement. I don't see the Stone Roses as a band that was trying to attract a teenage girl audience at all. They were an indie band, that released a great debut album and then disappeared.
No. It was either early 1992 or late 1991. It was after the 'Dirty Boots' mini LP was done (April 1991). It was just before 'Dirty' came out and that was 1992. The segment may have been filmed much earlier, or repeated, but it was definitely not 1990. I didn't even know Sonic Youth in 1990 or much of 1991 as I was at school and got introduced to them not long before 'Dirty' (being into thrash and rap before then).
@@goldentony111 I'm saying '90 because the segment mentions a performance at Brixton Academy, where they performed at September 1990 and the next time they'd perform at Brixton would be December 1992
He said "people are [bothered] because we have something to say about OURSELVES" --emphasis mine. I don't think anyone thinks Sonic Youth's lyrics are super crazy or anything. Actually, Thurston was saying in another interview I watched today about how they had this "violent" image in the media (in like the late 80's) that they were surprised by
I think he meant that also in a metaphorical way, in that they express themselves freely through their music without being concerned about what the general public going to feel about it.
You didn't even quote it right and took it completely out of context. He's referring to the old generation. Plenty of people liked Sonic Youth at the time, and plenty still do.
I don't know if you've found the answer to this, in the 9 years since you posted, but it is from a branch album that Sonic Youth did in 1988. They re-named themselves 'Ciccone Youth' (hence the cover version of Madonna's 'Get into the groove' that you hear here), and released an LP called 'The Whitey Album'. It has very little connection to the main Sonic Youth sound.
Much as I like Sonic Youth, their enjoyment, for me, has never come from understanding any political content in their songs. Does it square that they quote Kool Thing as a female empowerment song, then when discussing Karen Carpenter, Kim's input is .." nice legs."?????
I love Thurston singing voice, its so damn cool.
Well sure, but the point I'm making is that The Stone Roses were a great band whether or not they had a teenage girl audience.
Thurston is so woke it's unreal. I love Sonic Youth.
"Happy Mondays and The Stone Roses are trying to attract a teenage girl audiance"...lol is there any wonder why the UK never really got Sonic youth.
didnt Sonic Youth always chart far better in the UK than in the US?

And the ditch keeps getting deeper as the dreams of the past fade turning into the nightmare of today.
The day dream nation is all but gone.

Touche, but she was only about 38 at time. ;-)
You mean when she was like 45 :P
Great band meets awful exposé
