I just found this video and was wondering what /v/ thinks about it. The guy makes a very compelling argument besides culturewarrior stuff about how everything feels sanitized now compared to the 2000s when you had ton of extreme stuff going around including violence or sexualizationhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k-UjmwNIvxQ
>>724967227>Extreme media is when metal, skateboarding and goreYou're in your 30s, mate.
>>724968051And? Metal is based still always has been, always been produced by those in their 20-40s, your excuse? Also you have to be 18+ to go to most metal music festivals and such because of their content material.>You are underage if you enjoy metal.Only jews unironically believe this because they lost control of popular culture in terms of Metal sphere where everyone hates them already. YOU LOST faggot.
I've seen more violence in an average war film from the 60s than whatever edgyslop the 2000s shat out.
>EXTREME!Because the entire "extreme" shit became a joke at some point. So much so that they poked fun at it in Harold and Kumar Go To White Castle.It was a very era-specific thing.
>>724968329Dude! EXTREEMEE CHEETOS! EXTREEEMEE!!
We have way more visceral and realistic edgeslop these days.
>>724968304Why underages come here to lie so blatanly?https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hays_Codethe 60s had draconian censorship laws, you're literally making shit up
>>724968475Name 5. No H-Games/NTR count. I can only think of Hatred.
>>724968189No, but saying that you only like metal because it's EXTREEEM NOT LIKE YOUR POPSLOP is teenage behaviour.Plus, 2000's edgyslop were 50% marketing ploy.
>>724967227>extremehttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pyhrgWO5Uic
>>72496863270s and 80s was when it was peak with least amount of censorship. American comic books (but not graphic novels due to legal shenanigans) always had more censorship than say Japanese media relating to portrayals of things found in manga. In the old days you had donald duck smoking and drinking booze. The censored that in 80-90s and moving onwards.
>>724968051Watch the video, it goes way beyond music and it digs into aesthetics and stories. The 2000s where filled with this rusty look while the contemporary is filled with a plastic and inoffensive bland style.
>>724968632I was born in the 80s. I know whatever my grandparents/parents were watching/reading was 100 times more sexual and edgy than the fake edgy 2000s media wish to be.
>>724968880Still funny
>>724968736The whole fucking Internet. I don't know people still base their culture on mainstream media. People saying that rock is dead because it's not in the top200 billboard anymore. Like, who fucking cares?
What a faggot.this guy is 30 +?Still dressing like this?What a retard.
>>724969015>The whole fucking internet.Nah, the current internet is tame in comparison to the early net and even early tubetime. But do name 5 fucking games that are extreme in their content released in past 5 years.
>>724968304>>724968632Give me some bloody vintage war film recs
>>724968986>I know whatever my grandparents/parentsSo you haven't actually watched shit, underage LARPer. No more (you)s for you.
>>724968979To be fair, the 90's/mid 2000's had some seriously lame "edgy for the sake of edginess" shit. Especially in comics. Hell, they made a Sonic the Hedgehog character wield dual pistols for christ's sake.
>>724969635Yes, and all of that was cool. The only reason you think this is bad is because you're pic-related with an irony-poisoned mind.
The 2000s and 90s idea of edginess is sometimes without substance and stemmed from the Radical culture of marketing. 9/11 kind of gave it some meaning but it was quickly dissipated to market towards little kids and teens and charge them a little more for the word EXTREME on the package.
that's cool cool but I'm watching Dola nowhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iyVz3cO8JgM
>>724970058>You can't ironically like things.>Everything must be somehow high culture and highbrow shit or its a turd.Reddit mentality. This is why we get stuck with DEIslop games.
>>724970058>>724969983
i kinda feel like even as a kid i had a premonition that the world was going to end up the way it is now the moment i found out people unironically enjoyed happy tree friends
>>724969983>Shadow the Hedgehog dual-wielding pistols>coolest thing everEven a lot of the most diehard Sonic fans understand that was embarassing
>>724967227The comment section is full of teenagers who have a very parodied version of the 2000's. LMAOThey think everything was dead in the 2010's, and were all resurrected in 2020 by them.
>>724967227First off the things you think are extreme aren't really and secondly, "extreme" games still exist you just don't know about them because you're a dithering dumbass. A teenage dumbcunt. A totally useless whore.I will reveal one game that has rather disgusting elements, but that is it. You get spoonfed one game to prove you wrong but you don't get to hear about all of them because you don't deserve it.
>>724967227>the dead of Saar....
>>724971740>Unity slopLol doesn't count.
>>724972628Unity isn't eXtreme?
>>724972628Excellent. I don't actually want you to have games you enjoy, so your disregard means you have gained nothing but the knowledge of your total wrongitude
>>724971740>no user reviewsare you retardedat least put scorn there or hellsinger
>>724968051>hurr durr arbitrary age = you MUST change everything about your interests and personalitiesDidn't you get dunked on earlier this week for this faggot programmed-automaton behavior?
>>724968891> American comic books (but not graphic novels due to legal shenanigans) It also didn’t apply to direct to consumer books and magazines
The internet killed extreme media. No need for raunchy comedies for sex starved teenagers when they can easily just search for porn online. No need for super violent sicko video games when people can just search for IRL gore online. It's easy as shit to get your fill of the "forbidden fruit" nowadays
>death of extreme mediaBruh, gore and death and shit is still ALL over video games.It's girls in bikinis and girls actually dressing like girls that's dead in media.No more sexy girls in movies doing sexy things. No more girls in video games doing sexy things. Not even bikinis are allowed anymore. For some reason the world LOVES violence. Ripping apart a woman and seeing her insides?? Plaster it all over, everyone needs to see this!!!!!Seeing a girl's panties??BAN BAN BAN AB CENSOR CENSOR CENSOR CENSOR OMG HOW COULD YOU LIKE SEEING THAT????seriously living in clown world
bump
>emo>extreme medialolrebellion stopped being cool in the 90's and everything stems from that
>>724978012Fun fact: outside of some jap doujins you won't find that many depictions of vanilla love. Everything seems to glorify lust and suffering instead.
>>724980734What’s rebellion in the modern west?
>>724967227These new gens are too sensitive. And I don't mean "heh they don't like gore or loli, how weak!". It's more like, anything remotely "bad" is enough to get them to clutch their pearls. Like I remember the Demon Core trending in some spaces because zoomers didn't know it was an actual thing, of course the reason it was trending was because the people saying that were being rightfully mocked. And they would just reply "wtff bluds really do be looking up stuff about nuclear bombs??? :skull: :skull::skull:". No idea what happened but I guess it's this toxic positivity thing people keep talking about.
>>724982772*tap tap tap*
>>724967227Bet it's interesting but I'm not watching your Youtube videoGo advertise elsewhere
>>724982907>*tap tap tap*Your opinion is shit. Worthless. Trash. Bottom of the barrel. Atrocious. I truly wish ill upon you and your family for pushing that retarded fucking meme.KYS.
>>724982907I always thought Keemstar talked a lot of shit for a guy who has a daughter withing raping age
>>724968051Social media use is a lot more centralized than it used to be. I don't think as many zoomers are on /b/ or whatever looking up gore as there was pre 2012. Now /b/ is most trap posts, its become a lesser /soc/.Most zoomies just watch shit on tik tok or youtube or whatever which is heavily moderated. The death of more mainstream gore stuff is the consolidation of media. High risk one offs arent gone for as often anymore. Its why you don't get as many a list actors doing a silly comedy movie as often.
The argument that "Edge was all marketing back then" was already lampooned, and except for a handful of characters who made it so long they were sort of fond remembrances (ie Sonic being from the Animals-With-Attitude era) most were treated as the shitty POOCHIE THE ROCKIN DOG XTREME cash ins they were. Same with edge for the sake of it. However, there was a lot of "genuine" extreme/edgy media back in the 90s and 2000s and it was there for a reason. Much of it had to do with the resurgence of the religious right, the Jerry Falwell types and the like pushing their way into the culture, the past Santanic Panic etc... mixed with the early ennui of what at the time was a stable-ish if boring time of the End of History. This is why we got Fight Club from the same era. We were sold an idea that basically the USSR fell and therefore the Murrikkkan Capitalism (tm) is the only successful way to go, forever into the future, and with all the cracks beginning to show after the decades of deregulation (but before shit totally went off the cliff with 9/11 and the Great Recession) there was a lot of ennui or frustration. This could be its own subject for a long fucking time but suffice it to say, that things have changed today. I remember talking about how there were numerous anime series at the time(and a few games) where the protagonists wore something veryt similar to a SS uniform. One I remember is the pretty awesome>Trinity Bloodwhich is basically everyone either looks and dresses like they're in Symphony of the Night or an SS officer (with a few other options too), and someone showed me a still from the anime, from 2001-2005 or so by the way, and told me someone on their Discord said this is proof of evil fascists doing evil fascism and how did it ever get through, thinking it was something new. Of course, I told them they were being foolish but it just reminded me that there was a time when something edgy wasn't seen as a real world endorsement
>>724975481yeah, I purposefully chose a game that hasn't been released yet because he doesn't deserve to know about extreme games that are playable. no spoonfeeding.
>>724968979>The 2000s where filled with this rusty look while the contemporary is filled with a plastic and inoffensive bland style.oh my god zoomers are such unrelenting faggots. that grungey grimey media existed ALONGSIDE media that was extremely plastic and inoffensive. It's not like every single person alive in the 2000s was an edgy nirvana fan, that shit was relatively uncommon but it simply existed. zoomers are so out of touch they think one little corner of media defined an entire era. you watch too many movies
What's the opposite of rose-tinted glasses? Because zoomers got a severe case of the opposite thing.
>>724983649Shad, NO. Your parole officer might see this.
>>724984118Lol are people who see BDSM outfits and go rambling about muh fascism? unironically BDSM community was progressive
>>724985012You're attacking a strawman. The golden age of romantic comedies existed alongside edgy media. There's no contradiction in that.
>>724971740sadist bros...
>>724968979Rust, bullet holes and fox holes are quintessential growing up in post-Yu countries aesthetic. Also humanitarian aid clothes from the late 80s. My parents still wear that.
>>724989448Maybe that's why slavs love fallout
>>724967227>was wondering what /v/ thinks about itI was thinking I am not going to watch your video.
>>724989630I fucking love old Fallout games. I have more things in common with scavengers than with suburbanites. My house is full of repurposed spoils of war my dad gathered after the liberation. Most of our furniture belonged to someone else. Even our fence was originally covering another house. Everything was up for grabs in 1995. My fad was humble. Some people got cars, tractors, boats or maxbe even entire houses.
