I love their honesty and humble self reflection - There's no pretense or any bullsh¡t - they're really grounded in reality, just human and living what must have been undoubtedly a really unique experience for them - for anyone - but being a bunch of young acid heads and producing something so fkg wild like _Daydream Nation_ - which was then, and still remains such an unexplainable and iconic record - I don't think they even knew what they were channeling in that record - it is so strangely nostalgic, and also _futuristic, but also a Zeitgeist. .. Like they said, so many elements and directions... There is something so captivating about it. The 80's were such a weird and uncertain time and that particular record encapsuled the era, the memories of the past, and the uncertainty of the future. I guess that's why it's been enshrined and catalogued in the US Library of Congress. It's cool to see this snapshot in time during that period.
Thurston looks like Nicole Kidman from the nose up... he can totally be Nicole’s son but that’s not possible. But if it were, it would make sense. Like a lot of sense. Maybe they are sibs. That makes sense too.
Kim always looked uncomfortable to me in interviews, never seemed to speak much but when she did it was good but I think Thurston wss a good front man for interviews, and I always loved it when he snuck his humor in because it was always a quiet slow humor but it was always good
Saying todays media sucks means you have no ability to find your own music or you're so stuck in the past you cant see past nostalgia goggles. Sonic youth was never as popular as the 80s synth bands and the pop/hip hop music back then. I can point to almost any genre and show you amazing artists who rival if not exceed what previous artists have done
I don't know, Kim doesn't seem pretentious to me, Sometimes I think that the term "pretentious" is used (or abused) to criticize people who do not align with our ideas or tastes.
In the book Kim says they weren't. I think maybe some pot they would smoke, maybe drink some beer, but nothing heavy for sure. I've never seen they even smoking cigarettes.
This is why we have Britney Spears. Boring, unkempt, disinterested grunge rockers like Thurston Moore and Sonic Youth. If you're MTV, why continue humoring obtuse indie rockers when there are pretty, perky teen stars desperate for attention by the thousands who will literally do anything you tell them to do (where to sit, where to stand, when to talk) at your command. In retrospect, I don't blame them.
Mitchell Hughes this is one of the dumbest things i've read. record companies always pushed teeny bopper singers. their music is boring, not the sonic youths of the world. i wouldn't call them grunge. when people make art, they generally want to do it their way. mtv promotes garbage, but also had shows for alternative music.
Yes because the 13 year old girls of the 90s they were all going to rush to the mall to buy the latest indie noise rock discs if they hadn't come up with Britney Spears and boybands.
Boring?...nah...you're just a little base that's all....and we have Britney because after nirvana ended...the world put the brakes on angry angsty youth music
It's so refreshing how Kim and Thurston (especially Kim) were the epitome of rock & youth in their late 20's/early to late 30's (and beyond that, sorta). Kim reminds me of Patti Smith in that way, too. Kind of great to look at them after hearing so many dumb kids saying they feel old after turning like, 20. PLEASE DON'T.
Man, had they hit their mainstream success...Daydream Nation forward in 2000 they would have been the biggest band in the world. Considering White Stripes, Strokes, etc were killing it and have maybe 50-60% of the talent
