I've listened to a lot of Punk/Indie/Alternative, but it doesn't get better than Wipers.
>>123626575good for you, anon. Good for you
>>123626575very good band. i do like maybe sonic youth a lil more tho.
I forgot about these guys, thanks Anon
>>123626575BITE MEH ALIEN BOIE
OH ROMEOROAM ROMEO
>WHERE IS TRUTH WITH N0 BEGINNING?>WHAT IS THIS LOOK IN YOUR EYES?>WHERE DO WE GO WHEN WE GO BYE BYE?>WHAT IS THIS THING HUMAN BEING?
the riff on over the edge is fucking god tier.
THEY'RE WIPERS ALRIGHT! IT SOUNDS LIKE THEY WIPED THEIR ASSES ONTO THE TAPE TO RECORD THIS SHITTY RECORD.
>>123628880muh rex wiper
>>123626575wipers, burma, and early rem are the best of 80's alt imo. doesn't get better than those three>>123626751they sound like the velvet underground but somehow gayer. shitty meme band
>>123626575How aren't Wipers tagged as the forefathers of alternative rock? Telepathic Love sounds like a 90s alt rock song yet it came out in 1980.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dwBKHfMqLm4
>>123631487but they are
>>123631675>but they areThere's not a single mention of Wipers or Greg Sage on the alternative rock wiki. And RYM has none of their releases with the tag. Alien Boy EP doesn't even have an alternative rock tag, what's with this historical revisionism?
>>123626575zero bops
>>123631709name on song that is not a bop
>>123631709they're all bops
>>123631785>>123631980bopless band sorry
>>123631697They weren't in the alt rock genre, but they influenced it. Maybe they could be called proto-alt rock, the way The Stooges are proto-punk.
>>123629763There should be at least three more amazing Mission of Burma records but they were just too early to get big. Some of the best to do it ever. Fuck hearing loss.
>>123632104shut the fuck up
>>123632066do you know what bop means?
>>123632104more like proto-buttrock
>>123632206it's proto-proto-buttrock, since it's proto-nirvana, which is proto-nickelback
>>123631697>expecting good information from wikipedia or rymnot sure what to tell you, bud
>>123632162do you know what trolling is?
>>123631487would there have been grunge without them?
>>123628467Catch!
>>123633461zeeky boogy doog
>>123632104>protostop.
>>123633407It wouldn't be the same. Kurt's singing and some of his melodies are clearly Wipers derived.
>>123626575definitely the best band from pdx
I think Nirvana's influences were 30% Wipers, 30% Dinosaur Jr, 20% Pixies, 10% Melvins, 10% others depending on the song like Killing Joke, Descendants, Black Flag etc
>>123633750definitely overrating the dinosaur jr influence. and you're neglecting to mention the heavy influence from the early beatles (the 'I Want To Hold Your Hand' type stuff)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Aljw3k6Jgn0
>>123633689>>123633750What influenced Wipers then?
>>123633775First wave Punk, Proto-Punk and Hendrix>>123633766I think Dinosaur Jr is the 80s band that sounds like Nirvana the most
For me it’s the New Zealand scene
>>123633797Maybe superficially. Dinosaur Jr doesn't have the sophisticated melodies or off-kilter riffs of Nirvana
Am I stupid or do the Wipers have many surf rock elements?
>>123634040no they definitely do
>>123634040Them and the pixies
>>123634040First two albums are clearly Surf Punk to me.
>>123634040It does, and it's better for it. Not enough bands incorporate surf influence, it's a good sound.
>>123631487Because they're not MX-80 Sound
>>123634128OBSESSIVEDEVOTION
>>123634128never heard of these guys. gonna check em out.
>>123634259mostly shit
>>123629763Disagree with burma, I don't know but checked out their stuff and it didn't do much for me. Wipers and rem are good though, but burma is a hard sell for me. I just can't find their groove, what they're about. I prefer other post punk bands to burma
>>123626575YOUTH OF AMERICA!!!!!!!!!
>>123634442https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IR1dC0EvpQUpretty good for 1979
I just tried Follow Blind https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jRNbLZApaSI. Great song. Are there more good Wipers songs that are past 83?
>>123634478Never said they weren't good, just that they wouldn't be my post punk band of choice or originator of alt music. I'd much rather husker du or the sound than burma. I tried getting into burma, giving their music a chance, and its rhythm doesn't do much for me. Idk. Had the same issue with the feelies.
>>123634534I think the circle is really underratedhttps://youtu.be/QZKRcK2mpsY?si=RrkYiGErEd24dsGg
>>123634534Greg's solo debut is him doing slowcore. A nice change from him slowpace, less distortion
>>123634442Listen to Peking Spring and Trem Two. Very tight and creative for punk imo
All cobaincore is overrated
>>123634442their best songs are probably>Academy Fight Song>That's When I Reach For My Revolver>Max ErnstIf you don't like even one of those songs, then you don't like them
>>123634843Yeah, I don't think I do. But there is nothing wrong with them or that. I just couldn't get into them. Maybe in a few months or a few years I will, but right now? I just sort of don't get much out of their music. It seems like other bands do it better or are more of the sound i' looking for.
>>123634534https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=llqbo7fCY1M
>>123634128I wouldn't call doing post-hardcore in the 70s alt rock but they were ahead to a lot punks similar to Wipers
>>123633809zased
>>123634824>All cobaincore is overratedLiterally EVERY ALBUM in the Nirvana Top 50 is better than “Nevermind” and “In Utero”, including that one by The Shaggs.
>>123626751Fuck no Sonic Youth suck compared to The Wipers don’t ever say that again!
>>123634843They’re not bad songs
>>123626751Disgusting
>>123631697Don’t be so antisemitic
>>123626575Bump
>>123639061Easy pal, we don't talk music around these parts.
>>123633750Dino Jr a little but not as much as the others
>>123626575LOVE this band especially as a moody neurotic Oregonian myself Greg Sage just gets it man
>>123634843the best song by them is Dead Pool
>>123638064isn't greg sage a jew though??
>>123640005sauce?
>>123640154I've never been able to find confirmation one way or the other. I saw someone claim it on RYM once (lol), but couldn't find any source. He does look like he could possibly be Jewish though.
>>123629763These three together practically invented alt rock.
>>123637678not the rap one
>>123626575Cap‘n Jazz, Colossal Youth and Loveless
>>123640432you're genuinely a queer if you like that more than the wipers
>>123640466I was referring to the album covers
>>123640503oops. i can see that now though, yeah
>>123634843for me, its Forgethttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5i23APzx_Z0
>>123634824go back to kpop general, faggot

>>123642170okay, now prove he isnt jewish
>>123642176I can smell the foreskin on him all the way here in Michigan for Christ's sake!
>>123640466Greg Sage is a homosexualIs This Real is great stuff
>>123626751based. fuck wipers.

>>123642696>>123642017I don’t get lists and ranking autism
>>123643087literally everyone on earth besides you can tell you their favorite things. there's even a song about it.
almost 100 replies to a wipers thread in 2024? /mu/ is saved
>>123643246lol no, you have no clue how stupid people are.And having favorite things has nothing to do with taking time to list and rank them.
why didn’t he just tour with Nirvana?
>>123626575Listening for the first time. Do they try and sound like The Cars on purpose?
>>123645502the overlap would've gotten them BTFO, but you already knew that
>>123645537how the fuck do they sound like the cars
>>123645670No point whatsoever in talking with zoomer "logic"
>>123645670>the cars
what's the actual reason for the wipers not being more popular?
>>123647044they came out like 10 years before that style of music had mass market appeal.
>>123647076Just like Mission of Burma. I love them both.
>>123626751Sonic Youth are fucking boring.
>>123633750kurt liked a lot of different shit
>>123628880kek based
>>123634040Agent Orange is more surf
>>123651220>his band killed the mainstream appeal of cock rock in the 90s>one of his favorite albums was Aerosmith
>>123640307ESPECIALLY “It Takes A Nation of Millions…” That one the most.
>>123647044>what's the actual reason for the wipers not being more popular?they did make it onto the RIVER’S EDGE soundtrack though… right beside Slayer… bet I was fucking shocked to hear that.
>>123651393this confuses the zoomer
>>123651393Aerosmith’s ROCKS ethers anything by The Rolling Stones — the apprentice had finally become the master.
>>123651798lol>>123651841lmao
>>123626575you know what, this is an acceptable opinion. i don't agree, but i will not fight you on it.YOA really is an all-timer on the same level as Spiderland.
>>123626575do you think they'll ever tour again?
>>123653616No, greg is 71
>>123653760Years young!
IF ORWELL WAS RIGHT …
>>123642017It'd just be a compilation of the b sides of is this real and youth of america along with Alien Boy, The Lonely One and Doom Town
>wipers thread up for two days/mu/ is saved
>>123657471No man, no it's not. Exception to the rule.
>>123651828Good movie and soundtrack
bump!
>it's not a thread i see>it's just a mockery
>>123653297slint is gay
>>123653768He’s also in Phoenix, AZ and a complete recluse of J.D. Salinger proportions. I can only imagine how fed up with it all he is with 2024 considering he wasn’t exactly Mr. Natural Born Optimistic forty years ago…
>>123664279how the fuck is anyone a recluse in phoenix, arizona?
>>123664454I imagine you stay inside your air conditioner home and have everything delivered to you.
>>123664454Dudes an eccentric… 200% believes in aliens and is completely asexual at this point.
>>123666414He's literally me
>>123666414Based I like wipers even more now
>>123651382Agent Orange used to get turned away from venues for attracting a punk crowd and had to cope about how ackshually they were a surf group to be allowed to play anywhere.
>>123666414are you making this up or is this true?aliens ARE real btw.
BUMP
>>123671959Guess we'll just keep this thread alive because why not. Fuck /mu/.
>>123667214why didn't they just embrace the punk crowd?
