You nothing better to do, then to get upset and mad because you weren't born in the genre and never heard anything better than Drake, Lil Wayne, or any other talentless ass clown musicians.
I'm from peru and i started listening to sonic youth back in 1993, am i doing ok? :D love this band, they have that old punk rock vibe with hella good music and btw they going to Peru in a couple weeks.
i agree people need to listen to them, i was too young and i didnt get it, now i do, and its amazing!! the music that i hear on the "alternative" stations (ect) is just cheep shit rip offs of this.
So Sonic Yputh are no more, according to the Gruan.. Well so what and humph. Apparently Henry Rollins is a poet now. And I've heard him on Radio 4 so he must be a poet.
This seems a bit of a non story in music terms, but that's probably cos I'm old, I'm the same age as Lydia which makes me a survivor of our era.
@bogmire777 No...I'm not actually. I'm just pointing out what you said made no sense and you are trolling. But you go ahead and keep using your internet memes for responses since you can't seem to form an original thought of your own.
@PretentiousHousefly Ah, the old "I will try and make you feel beneath me by being extremely logical and polite." response, no thank you, I dont care to continue this conversation. Keep listening to your crappy music, I'll be listening to Led Zeppelin. Blocked.
@bogmire777 I never said I was a fan of Sonic Youth...you assumed that. I already told you I was pointing out to you were logically wrong and you were trolling, which I was right about. And you are beneath me when you have to resort to getting reactions from people to amuse yourself.
@PretentiousHousefly You are really obsessed with me aren't you? YouTube wont let me block you for some reason, Im seriously done, you can try and take the high ground, whatever, I really dont care or find any importance in your thoughts, Im really bored with this, dont bother replying, I wont read it.
@bogmire777 Obsessed with you? I'm responding to what you say. You don't want me to reply to you...stop talking to me then. And you do care what I say...since you've cared enough to reply to me.
@bogmire777 Well you clearly are too stupid to understand what he did to you. He was not polite at all, in fact he was a sarcastic asshole to you, which is what he should've been because you clearly have no idea what you're talking about. Furthermore, he was extremely logical for a reason THATS WHY YOUR COMMENT WAS STUPID: it was extremely illogical. You're just trying to avert his calling out of you, and it didn't work, you just said some more illogical stupid shit.
@kingcole55 Wow you people are really into this, I NO LONGER GIVE A DAMN. I dont care what you pointless counter-culture peons think, I WILL NO LONGER READ ANY COMMENTS TOWARDS ME ON THIS VIDEO. Hipsters are soulless fools who in their dedication to not become part of the machine have made themselves less unique then any other group, you probably dont consider yourself a hipster, but hipsters rarely do.
@bogmire777 It's funny cause you've said you won't respond anymore twice now. And what makes you think only hipsters like this? Hipster music is generally considered to be indie not punk... but I probably shouldn't spend too much time trying to explain things to you since you clearly do not and will not ever be able to understand what any unique art form is about because you are so wrapped up in the status quo of things.
This song is about about coming out of hibernation into a summer vacation. It's about traveling out west. Its hitchhiking through hallucination nation station.
I'm so thankful for Sonic Youth (and Hüker Dü and The Replacements) for getting me through in the dark until dawn or until my Walkman batteries gave out. Sonic Youth sheltered me from Bon Jovi, Wham! and Madonna. Thanks for that. Man, I feel sorry for the poor hump that's never heard of Sonic Youth.
@Hands2Yourself i dont like his music but i wouldnt call him talentless because it takes talent to get to where he was plus part of music is not caring about being judged which is what bands like sonic youth stand for
Let me get this straight, you pusnut douchebag idiot. You're standing up for Bon Jovi AND YOU'RE THREATENING ME?!! Listen up, idiot: I'll meet you anywhere you say in the general vicinity of my home and I WILL KICK YOUR FAGGOT ASS! I'm not kidding. Back your shit up and make your move, asshole. I'm serious.
@nightjammer Sonic Youth has actually based their whole career on kicking faggot ass, drinkin some cold beers and beating up on the woman a little until she learns to cook their eggs right. Bon Jovi clearly doesnt have the same capacity for kicking faggot ass that Sonic Youth prides themselves on.
ACL Pick #1 The best dual lead guitar band since Television. Bassist is coolest rock chick ever (sorry, Kim). Drummer is highly underrated and perfect for the band. Helped pave the careers of Kathleen Hanna (Bikini Kill), Spike Jonze (director), Jason Lee (actor), rehabbed Mike Watt after D. Boon (Minutemen) died, and Daydream Nation makes great driving music (so does Goo, Dirty, Rather Ripped, A Thousand Leaves...).
Its kinda weird that the name sonic youth means that you pretty much don't age, which is exactly what the members are doing. Is there something they're not telling us?
@TheToastBrothers I thought exactly the same thing. They're still "youthful" in attitude& look. Maybe their name is some kind of magickal sigil . If most other bands of their age had been called Sonic Youth the irony would have been hilarious.
Classic. I remember doing a speech on this album in HS and playing this song, and I nearly crapped my pants when the most stereotypical cheerleader in the entire class started ROCKING OUT in her seat when the song picked up.
I just realized today that they're in their 50s now and it blew my mind, just like when the local "classic rock" station started playing Nirvana and Pearl Jam. Dang.
Also I swear they all still look exactly the same but vaguely wrinklier. Wow.
PUT ALL THE REAL VIDEOS UP GREEDY BASTARDS! So lame, they took every good sounding vid from REM, the smiths, dm, madonna, sonic youth. Any good band, all gone! BASTARDS!
I love this song so much I'd have it played at my funeral BUT, is it just me or is it pretty ordinary live? Saw them in 1992 and 2004 and they still can't play it very well!
hey, im sorry, was wondering whether u could help me, im doing a project on this song but i dont no anything about Sonic Youth/this song.... do u no where i can download this song and is Sonic Youth Rock and Roll or any other information about this song? I would very much appreciated if u could help me out thanx
Short answer: Try Itunes. SY grew out of hardcore punk into alternative noise/indie punk/art rock from 1981. This song is reputedly fantasy about J Mascis of Dinosaur Jr being in charge - see wikipedia. Also, book about album pub'd by 33/1/3 - me not read it. And good luck to you!
you're a nice person, i'm so pleased to see someone give an honest answer and not just some pretentious-holier-than-thou-indie-rock-
asshole-bullshit, i despise internet culture and all the ease it takes for a neurotic, insecure coward to shit all over someone they'll never know or have to meet. a lot of people would have read that comment and said "if you don't know sonic youth, you're a dumbass that needs to die" or something equally polite,
Thanks, I try my best. I belong to no cliques. Totally agree with your comment. I responded to someone recently (who was saying really nasty shit to everybody that commented on a video) and said "It's easy to talk tough online" and all the dick could come back with was "Hmmm". Also I grew up with grunge in the UK and the whole "I'm so alternative (but unfortunately I'm just like everyone else who is "so alternative")" scene alienated me from the start. Just happy to be me - a cynical old git!
Spot on - never saw much of South Park, but that one sounds good! Psychologists tell us we vary in our need for affinity and social identity. As one UK comic put it, it's only when the aliens invade will we all pull together. Trouble is, I expect most of the aliens will be alright anyway...
`it's all relative.', as the old cliche goes. there is no absolute nonconformity (atleast none that we can perceive, for The Absolute may exist as reality-in-itself). all noncomformity is of a degree. when nonconformists of a certain type start to gravitate to one another they tend to conform to each other and therefore become more conformist.
often the tendency to conform to their new social group and the tendency to nonconform to their old social group are inversely proportional. perhaps God can be an absolute nonconformist (being that, presumably, He possesses the powers of The Absolute), but sadly our current theological knowledge is in a highly informal and approximate state. would someone please remedy this situation at their earliest convenience?
I personally like the empty page the best... if you havent heard murray street, do so soon. Its not as good as daydream nation though. This is probably one of the better songs on the best album though.
Only musicians understand Sonic Youth. They are one of those bands that bands are really into.

postings, this is pretentiousness mixed with LSD, what a combo!!! You deserve a positive what's up from a real deal Ohio rocker, (me)
so here it is, "what's up" by the way i love this song live and yes it is a bit shabby, but whatever it's SONIC FUCKING YOUTH!!!!

I love this song so much I'd have it played at my funeral BUT, is it just me or is it pretty ordinary live? Saw them in 1992 and 2004 and they still can't play it very well!

Short answer: Try Itunes. SY grew out of hardcore punk into alternative noise/indie punk/art rock from 1981. This song is reputedly fantasy about J Mascis of Dinosaur Jr being in charge - see wikipedia. Also, book about album pub'd by 33/1/3 - me not read it. And good luck to you!

you're a nice person, i'm so pleased to see someone give an honest answer and not just some pretentious-holier-than-thou-indie-rock-
asshole-bullshit, i despise internet culture and all the ease it takes for a neurotic, insecure coward to shit all over someone they'll never know or have to meet. a lot of people would have read that comment and said "if you don't know sonic youth, you're a dumbass that needs to die" or something equally polite,

Thanks, I try my best. I belong to no cliques. Totally agree with your comment. I responded to someone recently (who was saying really nasty shit to everybody that commented on a video) and said "It's easy to talk tough online" and all the dick could come back with was "Hmmm". Also I grew up with grunge in the UK and the whole "I'm so alternative (but unfortunately I'm just like everyone else who is "so alternative")" scene alienated me from the start. Just happy to be me - a cynical old git!

I think you're speaking of the conforming non-conformists. I really loved the South Park where they ridicule the goth crowd for this exact thing.

Spot on - never saw much of South Park, but that one sounds good! Psychologists tell us we vary in our need for affinity and social identity. As one UK comic put it, it's only when the aliens invade will we all pull together. Trouble is, I expect most of the aliens will be alright anyway...

dude, the aliens have already arrived...& I'm one of 'em!

`it's all relative.', as the old cliche goes. there is no absolute nonconformity (atleast none that we can perceive, for The Absolute may exist as reality-in-itself). all noncomformity is of a degree. when nonconformists of a certain type start to gravitate to one another they tend to conform to each other and therefore become more conformist.
g0ldbuG 2 years ago
often the tendency to conform to their new social group and the tendency to nonconform to their old social group are inversely proportional. perhaps God can be an absolute nonconformist (being that, presumably, He possesses the powers of The Absolute), but sadly our current theological knowledge is in a highly informal and approximate state. would someone please remedy this situation at their earliest convenience?

I personally like the empty page the best... if you havent heard murray street, do so soon. Its not as good as daydream nation though. This is probably one of the better songs on the best album though.
