What's your scene?

Tammy! · 17-11-2019 3:24am #1

Probably unbeknownst to me, I was part of the indie music scene.

I know a few Ska heads but I'd have loved to be part of the Glam Rock scene or Motown!!!

What's your scene? :cool:

Awh you should! Or perhaps you could make some really smart threads...just scan some news outlets, there's plenty of garbage you'd could revel in

And if all else fails there's always ...Dole thread

Indie kid through my teens and early 20’s.. then I started to enjoy expanding my horizons to Reggae, soul, punk and a lot more besides...

Quite a lot things, psychedelic rock, bit of prog, trad (pure drop and groups), electronica (mainly left of the field stuff, Leftfield (hahaha), Aphex Twin, Four Tet, Jon Hopkins, some punk and metal, reggae and ska too.

donegal_man · 17-11-2019 4:20am

Classic rock, blues

FanadMan · 17-11-2019 6:24am

Metal, classic rock, classical, opera, trad, jazz, blues, cheesy 80s.

Was a very strange upbringing. But quite interesting......

somesoldiers · 17-11-2019 9:23am

This weekend I’ve listened to System of a Down, Irish rappers Versatile/Outburst, UK grime & Garth Brooks...what scene is that?

Potential-Monke · 17-11-2019 9:29am

The only music I remember liking as a kid was the original Power Rangers theme (GO GO POWER RANGERS!!), but then into my late teens I was into dance, particularly the late 90's/early 00's when I was transitioning into my 20's, Tidy boys, hard dance, trance, hard house then eventually. Slowly moved away from that in the last 10 years and into 'happy' metal, ie: Gloryhammer, Alestorm, recently Wind Rose, etc. Like most things I like, my music needs to take me away from the monotony of real life, so the music I listen to know is all fantasy based, or made up. Great craic!

Bobblehats · 17-11-2019 12:17pm

There’s one that’s pretty happening right now but I’m going to keep church on it.

The crap I come out with sometimes lol :pac:

I like a bit of Northern Soul.

I think there use to be or it appeared that if there was a shared interest in a type of music that people would group together and it was not just listening to the music but a lifestyle. You don't really see that so much these days.

One eyed Jack · 17-11-2019 12:52pm

Anything from Adam Lambert to Taylor Swift... no wait, they’re in the same genre

Amadeus to ZZ Top!

Basically I just have YouTube Music do it’s thing with creating auto-playlists. It does a much better job than Spotify. I’ve no real particular genre, could listen to anything really.

cj maxx · 17-11-2019 12:56pm

Indie/ grunge for me. I would have loved the punk scene too I think.

17-11-2019 12:57pm

Podcasts.

Bobblehats · 17-11-2019 1:00pm

Tammy you’ll blow out your back dancing to that stuff. Pop a knee or something I used to dance to the hi energy rock n’ roll I didn’t care as long as it was uptempo and had a good hook but now I prefer the slow sets. Power ballads, n what not but I understand we don’t all read from the same hymn sheet.

LeBash · 17-11-2019 1:02pm

Couch mostly

Church on Tuesday · 17-11-2019 1:06pm

Grunge, Classic Rock and Metal.

In recent years; various film composers, and other distinctly non metal acts.

ArchXStanton · 17-11-2019 1:18pm

80s Hardcore, got into it at about 11 years old, there was just me and two other lads from a small fishing village next to were I lived into it in school, probably the only ones in Ireland really, even the metal heads looked down their noses at us, it was too loud, too aggressive too fast for their tastes, to the uninitiated it sounded like a wall of noise or a chainsaw but to us it was music on a higher level.

I'm touching 40 now and it's still the only music I know of that has that insane energy level

How is it a stupid thread? It's actually a really interesting topic. That comment just seems like snark for the sake of it, ditto the thanks it got.

Anyway, unquestionably goth (British 80s one). Not that I was around for it but had I been, it was made for me.

Love the atmospheric music of Siouxsie, Sisters of Mercy, Killing Joke, Bauhaus, The Cure etc. And the more stylish aspect of the look - medieval meets a hint of S&M. Patricia Morrison of Sisters of Mercy looked unreal imo. Plus it would have been a handy "scene" for me too as I've straight black hair and I'm pale as fook. I'm also one of those dreadful people who's not mad about the sun.

I love the look in 60s/70s movies too - like the Hammer Horror films. Those women were stunning. And even Morticia Addams and the woman who played the mother in The Munsters.

Of course it was silly and OTT at times, and very self absorbed (Sisters of Mercy were taking the piss but dunno about the others) - however a bit of theatre is fine by me!

Gawd this post brings me back - like way, way back

The Cure and Depeche Mode were huuuge in my primary school (primary school is until age 14/15 in my country, and after that 4 years of secondary).

Me, I have always been in for a mainstream-head, Top of the Pops kinda deal. It is what it is.

I will say one thing though, the more time passes, the more I am aware at just how special and awesome the time and the place I grew up in was, socially, creatively, music-wise, everything. 80's were the best. The later rave scene of the 90's was not my scene at all. I completely skipped it. Too soulless and drug-driven to float my boat.

And now I'm just an aul wan, out of the loop altogether. And I wouldn't have it any other way!

Raconteuse · 17-11-2019 2:14pm

Oh I'd have loved acid house in the late 80s/early 90s but yeah, the 80s was the biz.

Although the bulk of it originated in the 80s.

Never did understand why people needed to identify with a particular music scene. I have a particular love for Blues, Classic Rock, and Italian Opera.

I listen to just about anything except Rap, and the newer pop country western. Just as I've been to concerts for a wide range of artists from White Zombie, Foo Fighters, Bjork, BB King, Rod Stewart, etc.

Raconteuse · 17-11-2019 3:03pm

I like masses of different types of music but there can still be one "look" that you identify with the most.

Influenced a lot of great chart music. The white weddings; she sells sanctuarys hard as it may be for folk to get their head around these days it was the sound of the street and ultimately provided an opportunity for to kids to wear their christianity. Agnostic; at worst and much like the church there were a few who seemed to get involved for all the wrong reasons in giving it not such a good rep but it was a movement I would hold in great reverence myself

Actually I was in my sitting room a few weeks back and the strained warbles of what sounded like ian Curtis meets the sisters of mercy started flooding out from the club all over the street! Not the usual karaoke nite I thought, it must have been a band for somebody’s birthday and it only got funnier as the PA go cranked up further. Fella was givin it socks but against the backdrop of a church / graveyard and under that moon it occurred to me that actually yeah it was a soundscape befitting the landscape.

arybvtcw0eolkf · 18-11-2019 5:32pm

Metal/rock & folk, although funnily enough when I run I listen to House, or some Ibiza anthems.

Bobblehats · 18-11-2019 5:39pm

I don’t like intense music if I’m tryin to excercise either it’s more like the ‘dub shack’.

Sleepy · 18-11-2019 6:09pm

i was the classic mid 90's indie disco kid obsessed with Radiohead, Ocean Colour Scene, Blur, The Divine Comedy and a total obscurist, always favouring rare B sides or unreleased demos etc. So, a total pain in the arse, basically. But hey, that's what your teens are for!

Always listened to stuff from before my own time too though (Queen, The Beatles, The Rolling Stones, Floyd, The Cure, The Smyths, Paul Brady, Van Morrison etc.)

Nicetrustedcup · 18-11-2019 6:23pm

Myself teenage years I was a emo out and out.

Then went to college and then loved raves (never done pills), a rave to me was good music, drink and woman. Everyone I was at in college I have a story from that rave.
Don't think I be able for then now.

Now late 20s music wise it's everything and anything I go from David bowie to afi to panic at the disco to Steve aoki and so on.

Ragnar Lothbrok · 18-11-2019 6:44pm

Ska and punk in the late 70s and early 80s. I'm still a skinhead* today, never grew out of the style or the music. In general I hated the 80s music and style at the time. New Romantics me ar$e :rolleyes:

(* 100% anti-fascist skinhead)

Love proper hardcore Rebel stuff too.

Ipso · 18-11-2019 11:42pm

Britpop. Nothing better than relaxing to UB40 or Def Leppard

dartboardio · 20-11-2019 12:45am

Techno, open mics, byob events, food festivals, local band nights.

I suppose I should elaborate more like the rest of ye-

With music, anything goes. The playlist often ranges from 90s techno, acid techno, to folk music, rock, Spanish Latino music...with a bit of dance and 80s thrown in!

Shes a manneeeatteerr.. Oh here she comes. With a bit of dire straits, the cure,

Tune.

Music is a huge part of life. Used to be extremely passionate about it in my teen years, which has kind of faded, but I still try to make time for it, and make myself fall in love with songs again like I once did!
