Isn't that the age now of people who listened to limp Bizkit? How is that weird? Reminds me of someone telling me I'm 38 and too old to wear a Nirvana sweater, but Nirvana is like a 30 year old band so...
Yeah just like when my work colleague laughed at me this week when I mentioned I play games. You still play games? He asked. Yes I do, it is what I enjoy to do. What do you in your spare time? Melt away watching ads on free to air TV? laughs in gaming
BTW I'm 38 too
I guess I too missed the memo that says you're supposed to outgrow everything that brought you joy as a child. I'll probably be an old geezer and still be playing videogames, watching cartoons and reading comic books.
I got pulled over by a cop for speeding when I was 49 and he gave me shit because he smelled the joint I was smoking. "Aren't you too old to be smoking pot?" Fuck you pig, although I didn't phrase it exactly like that. I actually said "you're right, I'm sorry sir".
You aren’t allowed to enjoy anything current, only nostalgia is socially acceptable. If you put a lot of money into a vintage atari or some shit you would be like a hero
I'm fucking 56 and Nirvana hit it big when I was 23. I'm supposed to not listen to fucking Nirvana? Make fun of me for listening to Black Country, New Road for fuck's sake.
Wait, why are we even talking about the mighty Nirvana in a Limp Bizkit thread?
Also, laughing at somebody "still" listening to Nirvana is like laughing at somebody going with Led Zeppelin or Black Sabbath.
Or... Now when I think about it, even laughing at anybody about their music taste is a bit weird.
If anything 34 would be too young to have been a fan when Limp Bizket was popular.
That's right. It's just gross. Gotta be like 36
👀
That sounds about right. I'm 37 and liked Limp Bizket back then.
I'm 34 and chocolate star fish and blink 182s take off your pants were the first ever cds I bought with my own money. I was 12
I think people who would say that might recognize Nirvana as more of a gen z fashion brand than an actual band. Like they know it's a band but the first assumption is that's not the driver of anyone's interest in it.
31 and love Limp Bizkit. Though I'm also a poster child for "it never was a phase, mom" (still listen to emo music + am still as gay as I was in the early 2000s)
...to clarify not implying that Limp Bizkit is emo, it just happened (happily) to be included in the music I was listening to at the time
I still listen to select emo music at 39. All the pop stuff was a bit too late for me, but what was going on in the indie scene in the early 2000s still has my heart. Bright Eyes specifically. I love every single record from Letting off Happiness to Cassadaga and I also jam several solo Oberst records as well as the Bright Eyes record from 2020.
Nu Metal was my thing when I was a teenager. I let that go until recently because I “outgrew” it. It turns out I don’t care as much these days and I can enjoy it almost like I did as a teenager (and that includes the first two Limp Bizkit records).
The only two bands that have stayed with me from my childhood to now that I love more than I did even then is Nirvana and The Beatles. I would say In Utero is my favorite record of all time and the Beatles are my favorite band of all time.
I feel bad for this, but I can’t handle a lot of Kurt Cobain’s interviews these days. I obsessed over them as a teenager. He just comes across as a moody elitist kid that figures his taste is superior to everyone in the planet. Of course, that was me as a teenager. “Oh my god, yuck. You listen to that? What do you get from it?”
Dude was my hero when I was a kid. It feels strange to be so old sometimes.
Sorry for the rant.
They would've been 11 when the album released.
It makes perfect sense why they're a fan
It's all about the he said, she said bullshit.
Look, lyrically Limp Bizkit is dumb as living fuck... but they had some bangers and Wes Borland was an amazing guitarist who made a great solo album... which included a great song sort-of mocking Limp Bizkit style songs.
Sucks cause Limp Bizkit kinda tarnished the whole "nu-metal" genre that was pretty fuckin' diverse in the background. There was all kinds of different metal/rock-infused-with-other-styles being tried. Myself, I was a big industrial fan, like NIN/Stabbing Westward/Gravity Kills kinda stuff. I also love my Fear Factory.
I almost forgot about Fear Factory. Thanks for giving me something to jam to all weekend again!
To be fair, I will vouch for Dirty Rotten Bizkit being a great track. It's the closest Limp Bizkit came to emulating the success of Chocolate Starfish.
Wes Borland is so talented, it's Rick-diculous.41 yr old fan of LB since I was 15.
If she is that judgy about his taste in music God knows what other red flags he's avoiding here
If any woman/man is like that about anything you enjoy you're better off cutting ties. Clearly not for each other. My wife isn't into metal at all, and enjoys some gaming but she respects and understands that's part of who I am and what I enjoy.
Woah, respect and understanding are two huge red flags. Get out while you can!
To me, it looked like she said 'no' and he was a shitbag and told her to GTFO
Only if it is in MIDI form and played on a windows 98 pc
Embedded as the level music for a custom Duke Nukem 3D map.
You guys are my people. I'm home.
My kind of guy.
Ah man. MIDI on my sound blaster awe32. The good old days.
Did you ever load sound fonts onto that thing? That was the real shit, like having your own Fairlight synthesizer - for a bit less than $75K.
I had the memory installed and played with it. But didn't have anything amazing in terms of custom stuff. As I recall it had several synth wavetables as standard. I vaguely remember being able to choose between MT32 and GS (and maybe something else too) giving somewhat different sounds to each "instrument" available.
I know if I loaded a midi file, to get the best sound you'd often need to choose between those options. But at the time, I knew very little about the technical side of the midi capabilities.
It appears he did not do it all for the nookie.

Nah I'm 42
89 plus 11 to make it equal and oh god.

My way or the highway
You like a little Limp Bizkit? From the movie The Fanatic directed by Fred Durst.
