Music stage you regret the most?

[Chris Reynolds]

C'mon, we all had that stage where we listened to "the best band ever" and three years later you won't even tell people you used to listen to them.

For me, it has to be the Chiodos/FBTMOF/Senses Fail stage I went through a few years back, if only for a few months.

[brokenlungs]

When I was like 11 I loved Hoobastank.

[wewascontenders]

i liked simple plan and good charlotte when i was in like 5th grade. other then that nothing regrettable.

[airik625]

When I was really young and thought I liked Backstreet Boys and NSYNC. Fuck the radio.

[Angylion Gefell]

I found some Fall Out Boy in my itunes left over from seventh grade. It's gone now.

[hailthewarrior]

Don't diss NSYNC and the Backstreet Boys, they bring the jams.

Hawk Nelson

I've yet to hear a song by them.

Is it true they are a poppier/gayer version of Reliant K?

[hailthewarrior]

I've yet to hear a song by them.

Is it true they are a poppier/gayer version of Reliant K?

Yup. They've gotten amazingly worse with every album. I have an autographed poster by them in my room, I shoved it in a corner, and I'm not sure who I should give it too. All my friends grew out of that stage like I did.

[allhourcymbals]

I hate that I used to have a really limited music taste when I was younger. I used to only listen to like Hanson, The Clash, Less Than Jake, and Death Cab For Cutie up until I was 12 or 13. I'm not embarrassed about it, I just wish I started learning more about music and culture when I was younger and could have had the time to experience more.. shows, books, learning, etc.

Same. I never used the internet to find new music, just stuff my friends liked. And they liked shit, apparently.

One of these things is not like the other...

[Carlo Marx]

in 6th grade i was way into limp bizkit.

[underthetalking]

Anyone ever think that five to ten years from now you might regret your current music stage?

[GuitarR0cker1]

Exactly and I went through a crappy Christian Rock stage myself(excluding Relient K and Switchfoot). I actually own a Hawk Nelson shirt and a Red poster signed in my bedroom.

[IWasaCamera]

I don't regret anything really, since the atrocious taste I had as a teenager led me to what I listen to at the moment.

[wewascontenders]

i'd like to think not, but it's always a possibility.

[allhourcymbals]

Hanson is amazing Garrett.

[SickOfStars]

Anyone ever think that five to ten years from now you might regret your current music stage?

I think you could pose this question to any fan of heavier/harder stuff.

I wonder it all the time. I can't see it happening right now, but that's because I'm not there yet using the gift of hindsight.

[GuitarR0cker1]

Anyone ever think that five to ten years from now you might regret your current music stage?
More likely but I still think I will listen to a bunch of more "adult" pop punk bands and add in more alternative/indie stuff.

[versus_god]

What are adult pop-punk bands?

[hailthewarrior]

Hanson is amazing Garrett.

They've gotten better, but still, Hanson doesn't fit in with Less Than Jake, lol.

[ThisIsNotDan]

5th-7th grade were my nu-metal and awful pop years. in 8th grade I started to move on towards better things, although many here would consider some bands I listen to just as questionable.

i'd like to think not, but it's always a possibility.

agreed

[versus_god]

They've gotten better, but still, Hanson doesn't fit in with Less Than Jake, lol.
Have you listened to In With The Out Crowd? Haha.

[allhourcymbals]

A lot of my music "doesn't fit" with each other haha. It's better that it doesn't! Who wants to listen to the same band over and over again?

[hailthewarrior]

Have you listened to In With The Out Crowd? Haha.

I don't listen to LTJ at all, just saw them at Warped once for like, two minutes to watch the circle pit.

A lot of my music "doesn't fit" with each other haha. It's better that it doesn't! Who wants to listen to the same band over and over again?

I know, but the other three at least fit within a defined "scene" that makes sense, even though they were different.

[allhourcymbals]

in 6th grade i was way into limp bizkit.
3rd grade for me.

[hailthewarrior]

I heard "Nookie" on the radio today, no lie. I stopped and listened.

[GuitarR0cker1]

What are adult pop-punk bands?
Retarded name I know but I mean pop punk bands with more substance like the Get Up Kids, Saves the Day, Brand New, JEW, etc.

[allhourcymbals]

I remember sitting in my classroom in third grade, and we were doing some project and we had to write band names on the board, and everyone was writing like.. Spice Girls, NSync, Cher, hahaha etc, and the teacher calls on me and I say "Limp Bizkit." and she was all.. "wut?" and then wrote "Limp Biscuit" on the board hahahaha and yeah. Good times.

[spriltsc]

hahaha mine was the Angels and Airwaves stage.

[GuitarR0cker1]

lol

[thespearkid]

Backstreet Boys kick ass. For me, it's Aaron Carter.

Can I make you a pop-punk mix? I've got some stuff I'd really think you'd enjoy that might help you steer clear of a lot of pseudo absolutepop-punk.

[spriltsc]

I heard "Nookie" on the radio today, no lie. I stopped and listened.
my friends and i recently listened to rollin in the car on the way home. I think that was the funniest and most satisfying car karoake sessions ever.

In a couple years or so, I'll probably be laughing about the industrial stage I'm in, especially since I am almost ten years too late for it.

[FayeQC]

I used to like Good Charlotte

[theguy77]

i dont really regret any stage of my music listening habits, from each period there might be music i now consider shit but i still listen to some of the bands, from the first album i got (barenaked ladies -- "stunt") to my 13 year old skater punk mixed with fake pop-punk phase (lagwagon and millencolin and rufio still own hard) etc. etc.

[versus_god]

Kind of funny how I started off with bands like Lagwagon, MxPx, NOFX, etc. too but our taste in music is so different.

[theguy77]

Kind of funny how I started off with bands like Lagwagon, MxPx, NOFX, etc. too but our taste in music is so different.

eh its not so unimaginable. we both started right in the middle of the spectrum with skater punk, but then you branched into real pop-punk and i went the other way into fake pop-punk.

[versus_god]

Everything changed when I discovered Norhtbrookhead.

[murrich]

When I was in year 5 I thought I was awesome because I listened to ICP.

Year 7-8 was Nu-Metal and Rap.

Year 10 till last year was pop rock and bad scene music.

I love "Die Today". And Discount is awesome, Kirbie made me check them out a while ago haha. And Descendents I already had... and Ergs!, and a few others. I have too much time on my hands in the next week or two and will probably pick up a few of these albums they're off of.. or "find" them.

all that money i spent on overpriced bettie rocket records CDs could've been spent on way better music. silly me!

Love Songs For The Retarded!

[Chris Fallon]

I used to really like radio rock. That was basically all I listened to when I was 15-16.

[theskyisfalling]

I once thought I liked a Nickelback song...that would be my absolute low.

[Carlo Marx]

3rd grade for me.

generation gap what what.

[Carlo Marx]

I once thought I liked a Nickelback song...that would be my absolute low.

holy fuck, so did i. that was a dark day for me.

[wtfmates]

When I was around 13 I liked Nickleback, Linkin Park, and Slipknot. I wish I could go back in time and slap myself.

[Paulb-182]

when i was 10 i used to dress as fred durst

i still like significant other though so its not really a regret all but the wardrobe haha

[SLoT]

I don't really regret anything due to the fact it's got me into what I am now. Everyone goes through stages that are better than others, but there's no reason to hide it from people. Who gives a shit?

[partyboi009]

i'll go with when i liked nickelback

[Circa1628]

This one time I bought a Nickelback CD

[MADSTA]

It's a three way tie for me.
7th grade: Avril Lavigne, Good Charlotte, Simple Plan... you get the picture.
8th grade: Evanescence and Linkin Park
9th grade: From First To Last and Escape The Fate

[JacquelineNancy]

I was obsessed with Simple Plan from grade 6 until the start of grade 8.

[Jumpoff]

I used to think Tool was awesome.
:shrug:

[Judge'sDaughter]

I've yet to hear a song by them.

Is it true they are a poppier/gayer version of Reliant K?
Fuck you.

Hopefully there will be some bands I haven't heard before

Have you heard Happy Campers
As far as pop-punk goes I've been rocking out to them & The Ergs! recently

On the subject I don't really regret too much music I used to listen to I even go back and listen to a lot of my older CD's that remind me of my youth like typical nu-metal bands & britpop

[xEmlehx]

i went through the avril lavigne/green day/fall out boy stage from like 6 to 7 grade. i thought i was so cool.

[cscwell107]

When I was really young and thought I liked Backstreet Boys and NSYNC. Fuck the radio.

Me too. That was a terrible time

[cscwell107]

When I was around 13 I liked Nickleback, Linkin Park, and Slipknot. I wish I could go back in time and slap myself.

I dont regret liking linkin park. Shit i still like linkin park. Listening to hybrid theory is kinda nostalgic for me.

[kearn1tm]

I'm not ashamed of my horrendous taste in music during my teen years, because I was a kid without perspective or respect for music as a medium. Most kids don't necessarily want or can properly understand the various depths of "good music" during their teens.

All that awful Nu-Metal and Scenester stuff molded my tastes today. I regret nothing.

[airik625]

I used to think Tool was awesome.
:shrug:

Uhhhh? Tool is the fucking shit, you tool.

[thespearkid]

[secretsociety92]

I don't regret listening to any of the music I have listened to and what I listen to now, also I highly doubt I will regret it in 5 to 10 years time.

[timbedinosaur]

I used to be into alot of mainstream crap like simple plan, good charlotte, and shit like that.

[Dr. Acula]

ehh, no regrets. I feel the same way about *guilty pleasures*...why feel guilty, who gives a shit. Like what ya like and move on.

[x togepi x]

i used to think glassjaw was good and straight edge was still relevant. in retrospect, those things were pretty stupid.

[makeasound]

I don't regret any of my stages... what I do regret is that I was stuck in one "stage" from age 3 until age 15. I listened to nothing but oldies and classic rock, and would never think about buying anything else no matter how much I liked the single.

From 15 after I graduated high school it was boybands. I've always been a sucker for vocal harmonies.

I've been playing catch up ever since while trying to discover as many new bands as possible.

[Gwytherspoon]

Probably when i listened to loads of MCR.. I still really like them but it was a bit over the top

I'll bet that you've heard about 95% of the bands that are on there, haha.

I'll definitely have to check out Happy Campers. Have you listened to Mikey Erg's new band, Psyched To Die?

[_jonas]

I had an N*Sync stage when I was younger. :gunhead:

[versus_god]

I loved *NSYNC.

[Neo Cassady]

Late middle school/early high school nu-metal. Korn, Staind, and so on.

edit: but it's not really regret, seeing as it led to hearing blink on the same radio station which had a huuuge effect on what I listen to today.

[Kneeka]

I had a serious Spice Girl stage. I had their movies, dolls, posters anything you can imagine. I still think they are one the greatest pop acts ever.

Honestly, if they made a new album I would get it in a heartbeat. haha

besides the spice girls stage, in 7th grade i had this stage were i liked yellowcard, green day, simple plan, etc. it was pretty brief though.

[YeahItsCase]

I don't regret any of the stages..each one has just progressed into the next and so on. I don't apologize for liking the boy bands and spice girls, or craptastic pop punk bands..they all eventually lead me to liking something new and hopefully a little bit better and it still happens that way for me.
The way I see it is that your music taste isn't any better than my music taste, period. I still love listening to random old school stuff sometimes, even if it is just for shits and giggles. I could care less if a song is by one of the worst bands deemed on this site..if I like the song, then I like it and that's that.

edit: I also find that music really brings back a lot of memories from around the time I was listening to it, so I love going back to old stuff. Example: Christina Aguilera's 'what a girl wants' puts me back in 6th grade and its actually kind of awesome to look back on it all..no matter what song or artist it was. They say scents and smells brings back memory best, but I say its sounds and music.
