[kj] (OT) Crabcore? What the Fuckin' HELL???

[Leigh Newton]

90s had a lot of good stuff going on for sure. I was a teenager throughout the decade and enjoyed many of its aspects. The last dying days of thrash metal, the rise and conquer of alternative music, the grunge thing, that brief 10-minute period when everyone was gonna get some decks and be a DJ. It was all fun. Tons of awesome bands. Tons more shit. I'm pretty sure I agree that it was a more exciting decade, musically, than this one currently ending. Still, I'll say it again, SO many amazing, exciting bands happening at this very moment. Not as readily available as, say, Jawbox, Fugazi, Shudder to Think, Helmet, Tortoise, Quicksand, Drive Like Jehu, Dinosaur Jr., Faith No More, My Bloody Valentine, Jesus Lizard, Girls Against Boys, Melvins - all of whom were, during the 90s, enjoying various degrees of mainstream style exposure and playing truly weird and abrasive music all the while. You have to search these bands out a little harder but that's not
 really such a chore anymore thanks to the internet. I'll start by recommending the newest release from Isis - Wavering Radiant. If you like Tool and you like newer Mastodon, you should check it out. It's pretty freakin fantastic.

90s > Last decade by a factor of at least (2*age) / 5

That's my opinion. It has an equation. Attack it if you dare, it will crush
you.

A few? C'mon, there's tons. No matter how bad things look on the surface
(and things have never been worse), good music is always around. All it
takes is a little digging.

There's still a few good bands putting out music since 2000...Mastodon,
Porcupine Tree, Tool. And the dearth of decent contemporay acts has seen a
lot of the old timers come back...
