Watanabe made Samurai Champloo too! True masterpieces. This is super exciting

Hahaha sick I’ll try to check them out, so curious about the sound

Lol aw man I’m definitely getting old; I remember when Skrillex came out and kinda ruined the genre tbh, it was so totally different when it first emerged, it actually sounded like dub. So I’m not familiar with any of those guys, they were after my time.

I think it probably depends on the listener but yeah, if I try to listen to most mid 80s hip hop, it’s so rudimentary that it’s really hard for me to a tuslly get into. Like Run DMC, or NWA. I can get into NWA but the novelty runs out quickly so I can only listen to them very rarely. But there are a lot of newer bands that I hear and say “I’ve already heard x y and z do this better” so it’s hard to get excited about new stuff too. If you are a really avid music listener I think it has to take something exceptional coming out to really get impressed by

Wow, that’s fucked. Was the dudes name Randy or something? I think I vaguely remember hearing about that

Oooo I wanna check it out! Who should I search for?

Oh man for whatever reason this is a top tier cringe band from my teen years lol. Used to jam them on my discman on my way to PE

Cinematic masterpiece

Edit: actually this one is the cinematic masterpiece. I actually do wanna go to the Gathering

I’m curious what old songs you might be thinking of? I was a wannabe raver in middle school and an actual one at the end of highschool lol. I may know what’s up

Haha that was one of my first CDs as well. Loved that shit

Nice, good to know they’ve still got it. I got to see them once waaaay back, like 2004 or something for the Subliminal Verses tour I believe.

Hahaha damn you roasted them so hard. True I guess I don’t see too many people repping them, I just know they played Madison Square Garden with Scowl, though, so I assumed it’s what you whippersnappers are into

Hahaha Ive had Blind stuck in my head for like 3 days. I stopped listening to them when I was still in highschool but have dabbled in the past year or two and it’s such a good nostalgia hit

Fuck yeah, trying to intimidate writers by dragging out negotiations til they lose their homes is disgusting. Glad that actors are stepping up

Well it used to be slipknot/KoRn/Limp Bizkit etc etc, but now nu metal is cool with all the zoomers, so I’m no longer embarrassed of being a nu metal kid. It’s been pretty cool to reconnect with that stuff without fear! Tbh there are a lot of KoRn tracks that slap, and you can hear their influence in a lot of the underground metal music I listen to. The band chat pile that’s pretty popular right now cites KoRn as an influence. Limp Bizkit is still preeeeeetty fuckin bad though. I fuck with some tracks off of 3 Dollar Bill Y’all$, but so much of it is just corny as hell. System of a Down was always considered dope so they don’t count

I haven’t really noticed that, but I also haven’t dug into the comments too much recently. But, of course if thousands upon thousands of redditors jump onto this platform it’s going to change the culture. Maybe try beehaw.org. they are.known for blocking a ton of instances but i think it’s heavily moderated towards people being trolls.

It’s my hope that a lot of the people who want to turn lemmy into reddit will get bored and leave since the interface isn’t as convenient as reddit

!stoner_rock@sh.itjust.works just found one, woo!

Www.lemmyverse.net rules when it comes to finding communities

What exactly are you concerned about? Like are there any particular outcomes that scare you? I doubt that anything you take would make a huge, substantial, permanent change that you would notice, but again this is all just my assumption but I’ve taken reishi, kava, ginseng, all kinds of tea etc and I haven’t noticed drastic changes after my body metabolizes it

I signed up with beehaw first, but realized that they were defederated from lemmygrad, which I wanted access to. As I became more acquainted with lemmy and started looking into the “flavors” of the different instances, I joined lemmy.ml because they are unapologetic communists and won’t defederate with lemmygrad.

As an aside, it’s fucking insane to me that lemmygrad is so controversial yet there’s crickets about exploding-heads and people are happy to be on instances that don’t block them. Cool

THANK YOU for posting the full article!!

I really hope that actual concrete moves are made to initiate disbursement of reparations. I find it interesting, however, that they open the article talking about the failures of police reform. It’s like after poloticians saw the power of the people after the George Floyd uprisings, they want to increase police militarization and just throw money at the people who created the movement to placate them. The kind of money they are talking about can be life changing, but it isn’t going to solve the problem of police violence against black people. Both should be addressed.

Dang that’s cool, I’ll have to try some! Yeah, I mean they do affect how your brain functions in the moment, similar to coffee, green tea, alcohol, etc. But it seems that there may be more long term changes, if we look at the lions mane example. Sounds like a super interesting thing to do a deep dive on, though! Idk if there is a whole lot of scientific literature on them but I like to find peer reviewed scientific articles. If you read just the abstract and the conclusion you usually are able to get the info you’re looking for
