Were the Beastie Boys actually considered cool in the 80s and 90s? NGL they seem kind of cheesy
I want zoomers to leave.
you have to remember that everything that BECAME silly/cheesy/unfashionable was once unironically cool, in order for it to become overplayed and cliche.the initial wave of The Matrix being cool died out--it became a source of parody very quickly--but i'm wondering at what point zoomers/alphas sit down and watch The Matrix (1999) and it seems corny or old-fashioned. has it happened yet?
>>221834553as it was explained to me they were kind of perceived like Gorillaz are today.They have a fanbase and are acknowledged for doing some cool shit, but for the most part most people perceived them as a novelty act.
>>221834553Yes, when Intergalactic came out they were considered legitimate hip hop but only white people listened to them and they were only supported by Alt music stations . They were from well connected families in new York and were originally a punk band but were steered a different way most likely by a marketing firm
They're Jewish rappers and being black is cool for jews
>>221834553They were officially based as fuck https://youtu.be/uvRBUw_Ls2o?si=4HGX3DZ1unkeolpw
Bro Buddhism and George Bush
>>221834687Gorillaz (formed 1998) have been active for a longer period as of now, than the Beastie Boys (formed 1982) have been active in the 80s and 90s.
>>221834553They were heavily jew pushed during a time when all access to information was (((locked))). Before internet time was hell for racially conscious goyim.
>>221834687They were a fucking massive band in the 80s, 90s and early 2000s zoomtard. Their first album was the first rap album to get into the Billboard top 200 list.
>>2218345533 jews pushed by the music industry to sell rap to whites. They’re corny and have no musical staying power.
You wake up late for Shul, man you don't want to goYou ask you Bubbe, please? but she still says, noYou missed two shabbats, and no mitzvahs But your rabbi preaches class like you're some kind of goy
>>221834553most of their shit sucked which i suppose isnt uncommon for most groups that were popular
>>221834715They were legit with Paul's Boutique, ya goof.
>>221834715>They were from well connected families in new yorkJust say they are jewish ya faggot
>>221834553Even in college which was 15 years ago the fratboys and stones were listening to the Beasties.
>>221835207I think So What’cha Want is great but don't think much else from that album was interesting
>>221834553Yes, nasally yelling was considered cool by gen x.
They’re one of the legacy groups that my zoomer employees like to put on, not as popular as early Radiohead though, mostly just the alt black girl likes Beastie Boys. Interesting data point to me though because I never thought they were that cool, just standard Right Place Right Time gen xers
>>221834553Almost all 80s hip hop was cheesy. I can't think of anything I really liked from that era. Nwa started a short period that lasted until about Eminem's Slim Shady LP and after that it went back to gay pop music performed by less talented industry backed fakes
>>221834639The matrix is tranny now, not even accounting for the Wachowskis biographical details, but that “neo y2k” thing is big in the trans ecosystem
(((They))) were allowed to be "cool". You had to be there to understand how bad radio / popular music was at the time.
>>221834553Kinda strange how none of the musical talents who emerged in the 2000’s and ended up being way more popular than these old bands never appeared in this show even after the revival
They were jews, that's why
>>221835415Lizzo was a radio star.
Anyone who likes this genre should check out Joey Valance & Brae
>>2218354151991 to 1996 or so was a Renaissance era for American music and a bit shitty after that
>>221834639I was alive back then and I still can't fathom how Vanilla Ice was ever taken seriously. Like, he seems like a parody of a corny suburban white guy trying to be "street".
ANON CAUGHT YOU GOONING AND HE SAYS YOU'RE GAY!THAT HYPOCRITE GOONS TWO TIMES A DAY!
>>221835456Vanilla Ice was “safe black” in an era where kids wanted to be GANGSTAAA but the parents had the foresight to see that they were emulating a degenerate culture. So as long as the rapper was white, it was all right.
>>221835378> that “neo y2k” thing is big in the trans ecosystemcan someone explain this to me? i really like Serial Experiments Lain, it's a good anime. but they are OBSESSED with it. and some fantasy idea of the 'old web' (by which they mean the early 2000s, when they're a 21-year-old 'she/her' called Celeste).
>>221834639Already happened, it isnt unusual to people talk about the matrix vibe like is something outdated
>>221834553street smarts are the perverse counterpart to being a normie square until normies assimilate the cool new thing and some new transgression has to be invented. so that things that once seemed subversive usually strike us as "corny, actually" in retrospect. and yet here you are doing whatever zoomers think is cool now and sneering at the normies, and the young of tomorrow will sneer at your sneer.
>>221834553>get home from school>turn on MTV>SABOTAGE by beastie boys is playingIt was a different time.
>>221835864“Street smarts” was always just dumb people bragging about their lack of a moral compass.Anyone can be a piece of shit who lies and steals. Doing shit that normal people are too decent to do does not make you smart
>>221835456Vanilla ice was a legitimate performer who was considered one of the best dancers and rappers in Dallas and was deeply in with the black hip hop world before he was famous unironically
>>221835378>The matrix is tranny now
>>221835456nobody actually liked Vanilla Icehe was constantly forced on everyone by jewish media but the only people that bought his music were compulsive consumers
>>221835456all rap back then was incredibly goofy if you go back and listen to it
>>221835927It’s really just not getting taken advantage of by obvious scams. Not being naive.
I dressed like them for Halloween 1997
>>221835864That’s a lot of extra words to say>when people don’t know a world without thing come of age then thing is no longer new and negatively associated with old people
>>221834553>they seem kind of cheesyyou sound like a pretentious douche
>>221835378your birth year starts with a 2 so i don't really care what you have to say about anything you weren't conscious to see when it came out lol
They were actual musicians unlike 99% of their peershttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YZ5yKJlhbiA
>>221836088Yeah broIce Ice Baby" was a massive cultural phenomenon, making history in 1990 as the first hip-hop single to top the US Billboard Hot 100. Driven by its instantly recognizable bassline (sampled from Queen and David Bowie's "Under Pressure") and catchy hook, the track propelled its debut album to sell over 15 million copies globally
>>221836287yes zoomer, I was alive in 1990. His music was retarded even back then. They constantly played him on the radio but the only people that actually bought his music were the retards subscribed to Columbia House.
I was really looking forward to 4chan's userbase getting older and more mature but it looks like it's perpetually 15-20 year olds who are getting browner and browner over the years.
>>221836352I was alive too and everybody loved that shit. Mtv video countdown every night, ice ice baby was #1 for months. This is decided by requests not a psyop
>>221836287literally the only people who liked that shit were retarded wiggers, normal people made fun of it
>>221836387>t. mtv golem
>>221836505>it wasn't popular because i didn't like it
>>221836137well yes you do put it very eloquently, thank you. no moral or aesthetic dimension to the phenomenon, no dialectic unfolding through the natural insolence of the young. just things thinging.
>>221834553they were the white rap group so all the corny ass white boy hip hoppers adopted them as their personal anthem. Even back then, we had wiggers.But from what i remember, the Aerosmith/ Run DMC collab is what really broke the floodgates and gave white boys permission to like rap. Before that most of us agreed it was nigger noise and total shit and then after that suddenly everyone was into it.t. boomer
>>221836505I wasn't wise to the Jewish Question at 8 years old. I'm sorry!
>>221836406Do you not understand how many wiggers there were back then?
>>221836387>This is decided by requests not a psyopjust because you paid money to call a 1-900 number doesn't mean it wasn't fake
>>221836526Exactly. No one liked this song. Only women and normies.
>>221834687That would be Goldie Lookin Chainhttps://youtu.be/xpXfkU89yIY
>>221835615The gay ones and AGP ones do it for different reasons I think. Gay ones — they’ve always been fashion oriented and this is how trend cycles work. My guess about the transbian ones is that it reminds them of being young before learning that being male is problematic, also at that time millennials were told they were special for being able to go on the internet.
>>221836084Dilate
>>221834553yes.things weren't as glib/post-modern as now.concepts were newer; now things are over-explored and cynically looked at.<<pic related was legit awesome for its time
>>221835452HITYAHITYAHITYAHITYA WITH THE PUNK TACTICS
>>221836157Interesting short story nigger but you made it up
>>221834553https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g8aqAgtwqcU>I'm the master rapped and I'm here to say>I love Fruity Pebbles in a major way!
>>221834687Gorillaz were never as big as beastie boys (in America at least)Maybe they are popular in England or something
>>221834687Idk Pauls Botique was a big time renowned album
>>221836950That’s mostly because things were actually made by people who were passionate about what they did, and not just a lazy cash grab that’s been shat out in the cheapest possible way with the sole purpose of existing to make money
>>221834553They were awesome, fuck you.
>>221835026/pol/troon "humor"My sides.
>>221834553For every good song(intergalatic, fight for your right) theres brass monkey or paul revere
>>221834715I was normie who didnt listen to music but people fucking loved Intergalactic
>>221836743>"No one liked this song. Only women and normies."So nobody liked the song besides half the population and "normal people" which is almost everyone. It's like you can't comprehend that just because you don't personally like a song that it can still be popular. Which is not to even say it's a good song.Autism.

>>221835366I Left My Wallet in El Segundo
>>221834553I was born in '95, and growing up watching Futurama I had no idea who the fuck the Beastie Boys were. I didn't get the references at all.I like them now though, maybe because they seem cheesy by modern standards.
>>221837252I'll listen now and give report shortly
>>221835240That was Check Your Head. Paul's Boutique was their second album.
>>221837345Can I Kick It was really good, better than El Segundo
>>221836635>boomerNo shit, retard. You still call jews white boys.>>221837184You definitely played their music at your bar mitzvah didn't you?
The celebrity heads becoming a major recurring thins was a dumb idea. They had lots of good jokes with them but it felt like for every good joke they made there was another one that was just lazy and an excuse to riff about current thing instead of coming up with fun future jokes.
>>221837697I also enjoy seinfeld. Have a conniption about that
>>221834553they were corny even back in the 90s. they got insane amounts of radio time on rock stations in the 90s, especially licensed to ill. looking back it was pretty obvious why. by the time intergalactic came out even middle schoolers thought they were lame shit.
Beastie Boys were a joke band. All of their music videos are ridiculoushttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qORYO0atB6g
>>221837946they played this to death on the radio but the overwhelming majority of people don't pay any attention to the lyrics or even know what the song is about
>>221834553I loved the Beastie Boys when I was a kidBut it got me made fun of because I'm black
>>221838041>I'm blackWhy?
>>221838010what is it about?
>>221838134circumstance of birth :(But at least my parents are still married to each other.
>>221838153That's good to hear, I hope their marriage is a happy one. Still a little confused about why you chose to be like that though
>>221838182I was young and stupidDidn't know it was a permanent thing
>>221834553>>221834715When License to Ill came out they were considered a novelty and everyone in my older brothers agegroup made fun of them because white guys rapping and their songs were silly.People considered them legit later on.
>>221838153>Black>Parents still togetherDon't worry, bro. You'll get whiter as you grow older. My aryan friend's parents divorced and he's transitioning into a wigger.
>>221835615Trannies and gays love co-opting things other people like and then saying that if you like it you must be trans/gay.Transformers is a big one. They act like Transformers was always gay coded instead of the comics picking up an infection in the early 2000s.
>>221838296I feel it...My credit score is rising
> constantly banging on about Free Tibet> never a word about Palestine Curious…….
>>221836088No you got it somewhat wrong. Everyone loved Vanilla Ice, until they were instructed not to.
Beastie Boy threads are so rare this is my only chance to post this:https://youtu.be/xEYstuGbgQ8?is=zhONdkD8nO7jlE_ILiterally on video doing whippets and fucking around with groupies, they were cool because you had to make a concentrated effort to be an uncool loser in a time where you could do whatever the fuck you wanted.
>>221839169Insisting he wasn't popular is like saying Right Said Fred or Milli Vanilli we're all hated when their songs became #1 hits
>>221835366>Almost all 80s hip hop was cheesyBeastie Boys were a garage punk band that turned into a hip hop band. Then they became experimental and did all kind of funky and spacy shit. Never took themselves seriously. Based as fuck.
I dont think the party boy/jackass sort of vibe they were all about in the 80's was all that cool unless you were like 15, but they had at least one banger on every album for those two decades that became instant MTV rotated classics. Hey Ladies, Sabotage and then Intergalatic. Hip-hop famously has this dont call it comeback ethos and they kept proving they could pen fun bangers even if it was pop tier.
they were like the only good jews
>>221836117nice
>>221838438Palestine was a non existent issue in 80s/90s America. free Palestine would have polled at like 7% with the most liberal Democrats
>>221834553Beastie Boys fought for our rights and deserve respect you stupid zoomer
>>221834553The unapologetic cheese was part of the charm always.
>>221834639Good bait.
>>221836550>moral or aesthetic dimension to the phenomenon, no dialectic unfoldinganon we’re talking about pop culture.
>>221836287>sampled from Queen and David Bowie's "Under Pressure")no ice ice baby was dun-dun-dun-duh-dun-dun and under pressure was dun-dun-dun-duh-duh-dun
>>221834553Hello Nasty and Paul's Boutique are classics. I know these came out roughly 30+ years ago, but yes, they're an important group of the genre
>>221834553bear in mind that it's Fry who thinks they're cool
>>221838144Stir fry and mr spock
>>221840984Ill Communication and Check Your Head, too. Mixing in hardcore tracks and funk instrumentals made the records pretty soulful. You just know they had tons of fun recording that stuff.
>>221835207No one liked or understood Paul's Boutique when it came out, since it wasn't license to Ill part II. Only later did it become cool after Ill Communication became huge.
They are cool, not were.
>>221836363I thought that when they legalized weed that you would be able to get consistent, quality, at a good price. Instead, we got a million new strains, constantly shifting inventory, and lots of bureaucratic nonsense. Crazy how the future never turns out how you think.
>>221837148Every good idea for how computers should be used was implemented by 2012. Everything since then is exactly what you are describing.
>>221834816They are Jews that did hip hop better than blacks.
>>221841327100%, Nello Nasty and Paul's Boutique are just my favorites.Really they were on a great run of boundary pushing albums for about a decade. We should be talking about this in /mu/ probably, but what I want to express is that Beastie Boys were inportant
>>221841610I don't know what kind of retarded backwater place you live in, but here in Colorado recreational lead has been a thing for almost 15 years, and I can go into almost any dispensary and always get a cheap high quality jar without any hassle. And you are really complaining about having a diverse inventory to choose from? Most places will carry a couple of strains consistently, but I can't believe you're bitching about having options.Do you really think that going to The dispensary is so much worse than going over to some dudes house?
>>221834816Racially conscious AKA follow racial pseudoscience which supports their ignorant biases.
>>221842302>Colorado dispenseries have the same shit problems as any shitty dispensary anywhere, but that is good!Okay little buddy I guess you are right.
>>221834553Futurama also did an episode about how pirating music was literally the same thing as kidnapping people. There's some real talent behind the show, of course, but already by the time it came out, Matt Groening was an out of touch boomer who was scared and confused by new (as in post-1995) things. If you were a teeenager in the late 90s like I was, the Beastie Boys were as fake and gay as Vanilla Ice. They're more of an 80s thing from before Eminem blew up and showed everybody hip-hop didn't have to look like a Flintstones Fruity Pebbles commercial. The Futurama crew were old enough to think they would still be considered hip by the 17 year old Runescape nerds who were their core viewers. It's like if Hazbin Hotel did a bit about how awesome 2010 dubstep is.
>>221839397out of all the garage sales I've been to, I've never seen a Vanilla Ice, Right Said Fred, or Milli Vanilli cd/tape. you might as well claim that Batman Forever was popular because it was advertised relentlessly, and had its soundtrack played on radio stations every day
>>221835456Try mark whalberg (marky mark)
>>221836088Ice ice baby was a catchy tune and the melody is great. Its a good song on its own.
Hot take: Beasties were the hip hop Beatles. Started out a novelty group, then completely revolutionized what their genre could be, mostly using innovative recording techniques, but also somehow never stopped being a novelty group, and had a huge number of hits, all within a relatively brief time period. Also only act to have a music video collection put out by Criterion of all people.
>>221834687They were jews living out the black self insert fantasy most jews have
paul revere goes so hard on a big subwoofer
>>221834553beastie boys are based fuck off
Note to self: if you want to make aging white guys mad, say the Beastie Boys are lame
>>221834553They had one hit song but because they were jewish they got overly promoted.The one song people liked is amazing.They would've been viewed as nobodies like other 1 hit wonder rap groups but they kept getting promoted because of jewish nepotism. They are on par with groups like Souls of Mischief or Lords of the Underground.
>>221844810>They had one hit song
>>221842302>Colorado>recreational lead i fucking believe it
>>221834553I like some Beastie boys songs but a lot of their "Humor" ruins a lot of otherwise good songs.Like "Girls" isnt a song you can put on in the car and just listen to
It was fun in a sort of blackface but subtle way, but I think one of them turned into a preachy Buddhist or some shit
>>221838010>the overwhelming majority of people don't pay any attention to the lyrics or even know what the song is aboutBecause it's boiler-plate "I rhyme gooder than you".
>>221838010I could probably tell you what any other song of theirs I know is about, but I genuinely have no fucking idea what Intergalactic is about other than >>221846591
>>221835355>not as popular as early Radioheadradiohead is a one hit wonder. literally nobody cares about radiohead. nobody. if 9/10 people can even name one song, that song is creep, which came out in 1993 and stayed on the radio for like one summer and then all but disappeared.you little pissants want a history lesson?beasties came out mid 80s. they were funny. white guys rapping. kind of punk adjacent. they had funny songs. they made funny videos. they were kind of a joke. not weird al tier, but still a "novelty" act. the joke songs were just that - jokes. fight for your right, no sleep till brooklyn, brass monkey, girls. those are the ones that got them attention and sold the record. but licensed to ill is a work of fucking art. every song on that album is good. the real songs (paul revere, the new style, slow and low) made people sort of second guess the joke part, but they still couldn't be entirely sure.paul's boutique was their attempt to be real. more or less. no joke songs. it wasn't really well received. it was like 3yrs after licensed to ill, and everyone was like, "that joke white rap band? fight for your right?" but there were some legitimate hits. b-boy bouillabaise. looking down the barrel of a gun. hey ladies. shake your rump.that album did well and everyone was surprised.check your head comes out in 92. it's got like one good song on the whole album. skaters loved it. not really anyone else did. we all thought we were done with them after that. nope. 94 rolls around and here's ill communication. sabotage. that song and the video for it made this band more than any one thing. now they're a multi-gold/platinum band. the real deal.hello nasty comes out. they wanted it to be a dance/club album. intergalactic planetary. body movin. 3 mcs and one dj. people liked those songs and not much else. except for the die hard fans, who loved it end to end. and those same die-hard fans are the only ones who cared about them from this point forward.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JhqyZeUlE8UThis song still gets me going, even 30 years later
>>221846858Other than the radiohead erasure I mostly agree with this BB dissertation, and I'm one of the people that loved Hello Nasty front to back
>>221834553>jewish writers write jewish rappers into their jewish TV showWow!
>>221844508Yeah but if you want to make a zoomer mad tell them they're goofy aah cis heterosexuals
>>221847067yeah, nobody cared.radiohead gained probably their most intense popularity post 2005, and it was pretty short lived.yeah, they put out albums pretty consistently from 93 until '16. i'm not sure they ever toured, like, as themselves, as the headline act.i'm not saying they didn't have a fanbase, but they were the also-rans of the 90s. not as punk as nirvana. not as hard as alice in chains. way sappier than even pearl jam. i think even the screaming trees are more popular in the us than radiohead. and they were the grunge band that couldn't make it in the grunge market of the 90s. right? an enterprising individual could have bought a warehouse filled with jock straps in 1992, silkscreened a picture of the space needle on the cup and wrote seattle on it somewhere and made a billion dollars by 94. and screaming trees just couldn't make it happen.a comparable contemporary act would have been helmet. they were like a two- or three-hit wonder from around the same time as radiohead's one hit. alt-metal. nothing too special.they're still around, putting out albums every few years. still touring. they just finished up an australia run, and they're about to start a us run opening for down. they do festivals and shit.i don't know. maybe my perspective is skewed. radiohead is like the last of the girl-oriented rock before the merchants got everyone hooked on nigger music. no self-respecting man with functioning testicles listens to that crap.
>>221848120this post, however, is psychotic. OK Computer was by far their peak and they were huge then, easily one of the ten biggest rock bands of the decade.
>>221834553Jews
>>221848625they were never one of the biggest rock bands. they were one of the last rock bands. yeah, ok, in '97, some skank with low-rise jeans and a earring in her nose could get her boyfriend to take her to a radiohead show if she gave good head.maybe they were the cat's meow in third world countries idk. it's sappy girl rock from 30 years ago. the kind of thing they play on a speaker in the shitter of a gay bar.to contrast, ac/dc sold half as many copies of just back in black as what radiohead sold of everything. https://chartmasters.org/cspc-ac-dc-popularity-analysis/but their peak? they were huge? ac/dc was huge. worldwide. i bet you a week's pay right now that if you could dust off what's-his-name's corpse (or find a suitable fill-in) and prop those old fuckers up for one more tour, they would pack stadiums around the world. in 2026. not concert theaters. not those outdoor amphitheaters. sports stadiums.fucking sublime sold more of their debut album than radiohead's chart-topper "at their peak." the fucking singer od'd on heroin before they ever became known. they've literally had zero new material since people even knew who they were.https://chartmasters.org/sublime-albums-and-songs-sales/look, alright, i'm sorry i'm shitting on you & your boyfriend's favorite band. maybe they were worth something in the rest of the world. as an american, i don't think about you people at all.
>>221849554I think that this reply is to that post in itself kind of wrecks your credibilityif this is what /mu/ is like I'm glad I never go there
Never liked Beastie Boys or Rage against the Machine ever they both seem Jewish
>>221835207Think it still holds the record for most samples on a single album and it's basically impossible to beat that now due to a copyright precedent

>>221838322> Transformers is a big one. They act like Transformers was always gay coded instead of the comics picking up an infection in the early 2000s.
>>221849675well, the question became one of popularity. my whole point was radiohead isn't. whoever that was offered a counter, going so far as to say they were "huge." they just weren't. it's not to say they don't have their fans. look, here's the point:go to a public place. lots of people milling around. go up to N number of people and ask them their favorite radiohead song. i'd bet at least half of them don't even know who you're talking about.now do the same with ac/dc. every single person currently alive in any first world country knows at least one ac/dc song, even if they hate it, even if they have to think about it for a minute. right now, somewhere in the world, someone's great grandmother could tell you the story about how she blew a roadie so she could get backstage and fuck angus back in '79.that's "huge."
>>221841610>we got a million new strainsA million names, all the same shit.
>>221834639Zoomers are old now. I showed some the matrix and they loved it.

>>221840815But zoomers literally do not party anymore. They’d rather endlessly post about food and travel and actively get upset when you suggest drinking and smoking. It’s like we had children outside of Plato’s cave, and the children went back into the cave and are mocking the ones who are outside.
They were deliberately cheesy, like a rape parody band that raped better than the black rapers.
>>22183455380s yes people thought they were unironically cool90s no they were regarded as hypocrites for denouncing other artists making songs with the sorts of themes the beasties got famous with. everyone with actual musical taste loved the fat of the land in 1997 and saw the beasties as cringe for not liking it
>>221851432Raped faster than Grandma
>>221834553They were so good they spoiled me for other rap, I literally couldn't listen to any of the corny 80s rap after license to Ill came out
>>221851496Prodigy had two popular songs and they're asking them to cut their shit in half at Reading. Nirvana had a classic show at Reading around 93 that I've watched recently. That festival used to be really important

>>221851496they're both dead now
add “beastie boys having one of the best letterman performances” to the list of things zoomies don’t know https://youtu.be/YZ5yKJlhbiA
>>221844508balls deep
>>221834553they were pushed heavily on the American public, them and Lenny Kravitz, Cindi Lauper, KISS, Billy Joel, and other tribe members
>>221834553They were cool until I found out they are Jews.
>>221834553I liked the one who died. He had a good non-jewish sounding voice.
>>221851496Wow, could these guys BE bigger faggots?
>>221853194no
>>221842302I drive like three hours because I'm so sick of stoners and trying to keep up with dealers.
>>221844508It's true. I'd have to argue with you.
>>221836253They weren't at first. They were just a couple of goofballs making hip hop, then they fucked off for a year to learn how to actually play.
>>221834553>Were the Beastie Boys actually considered cool in the 80s and 90s?They know how to let the beat MMM DROP.
>>221834715> but were steered a different way most likely by a marketing firmNo. They used to freestyle as a joke but it actually caught on, so they went with it.
>>221855070MMM DROOOOOOOOP
>>221834639I'm a zoomer and I think the matrix is cool :)Whenever I go to the bathroom I use cmatrix on my linux machine so my coworkers think I'm like Neo haha
>>221844508She wants to lick my dick in particular, I can see it in her eyes.
beastie boyzzzz
>>221851037AM I NOT HUMAN?NO, I AM JEW MAN!
>>221852186Oh here we go.
>>221834687>for the most part most people perceived them as a novelty actlol no, BB were big even up to the mid 2000s. I remember reading about Method Man looking forward to meeting them in a magazine around 2003 so I think they even got some amount of respect. I think it helps a lot that they have a very distinct sound that really set them apart at the time.I liked them alright but to be real Mix Master Mike is the real star of the group.
>>221850167this is delusional lol, ac/dc is popular sure but most people in the first world under 20 would not be able to name a song and if you start considering developed countries that don't have english as a first language that number plummets. It's the kind of thing where if one of their top songs comes on you'll recognize the tune but won't be able to name the artist. Huge should be a real popular band that has transcended the distance of age and genre, like the Beatles.
>>221849675this is what /mu/ was like around ten years ago, you're looking at an exile
You don't understand.We HAD to fight.For our right.To party.
>>221851351>few times it disappeared everytime that happened I was surprised at how much I missed it despite having gone months sometimes without even clicking the icon on my browser favs.
>>221849675/mu/ is 110% weird mixed race ugly cafe latte-brown people with bad straggly facial hair, minimum 13 piercings and 40 tattoos per person
>>221834553>>221834639I thought the joke was they appealed to uncool nerds like Fry. I don't think anybody "with it" actually found them cool.
>>221859740Face it. He blew you the fuck out.
>>221859853I'm not the anon from the other post, I was just reading the interesting block of text since it usually has a 50/50 chance of being effortpost or schizopost and wanted to weigh in on witnessed delusion. Idc about any band mentioned itt besides Queen and only learned Radiohead had more than Creep a few years ago. I don't enjoy AC/DC either, but don't dislike them to the point of bias, his statement would have been true in anon's heyday of the 90s sounds like an old man so I'm guessing but certainly not today.
>>221859498>BB were big even up to the mid 2000s>It's time to lead the way and de-escalate>Lose the weapons of mass destruction and the hate>Say ooh ah what's the White House doin'?>Oh no! Say, what in tarnation have they got brewing??!!!!???!!>Well I'm not pro Bush and I'm not pro Saddam>We need these fools to remain calm>George Bush you're looking like Zoolander>Trying to play tough for the camera
>>221859740>ac/dc is popular sure but most people in the first world under 20 would not be able to name a song nurse, this man has lost his composure
>>221861252is this not true? My nephew and his friends barely know who the Beatles are and that was at least ten times more popular than ac/dc, even I would have a hard time naming more than 3 of their songs.
>>221835456Because he was handsome and white and the standards were that low. Vanilla Ice was the handsome white Ice-T knockoff, Marky Mark was the handsome white LL Cool J, Elvis was the handsome white version of all the black guys he imitated.Now things have changed and instead of crappy white knockoffs of talented black artists we cut the middle man and get bottom of the barrel garbage ugly and black artists like Kendrick Lamar.

>>221864057Everything I said is right though.
>>221864078Nope. Not even close
>>221859827>YOUR KNEES'LL START SHAKING AND YOUR FINGERS POP>LIKE A PINCH ON THE NECK FROM MR SPOCK
