Middle School Nostalgia

[totoromi 63]

does anyone else still listen to almost everything they did in middle school? like preteens to early teens?  im still not over the entirety of Bad Vibrations by adtr and i still keep up with (or at least try to) seether and breaking benjamin, two bands ive listened to since elementary school (ik).  i also occasionally check out releases by other people i used to yell about internally 24/7

I think for people who aren't American you might need to specify what age range you are referring to.

[totoromi 63]

maybe around 10-14. just relatively young, still discovering different types of music

I only seriously got into music around the time I was 13-14, but yeah, I'm having nostalgia overloads time and time again.  A few weeks back I was on a massive Marilyn Manson / Static-X / Mudvayne binge, haha.

[Wakarimashita 317]

Not at all... I used to listen to MTV-pop-level music, then from high school on I got into heavier stuff and never came back.

[itsukoii 1300]

occasionally i'll find myself listening to muse and seether (and a bunch of the old emo shit i used to like) on youtube, but i don't listen to any of that stuff on the regular. i deleted it from my library long ago and have moved on.

when i was 12 i was discovering visual kei  before that i wasn't big on music, just listened to what played on the radio

seeing as how i started listening to vk around 11-14...yes lmao

[IGM_Oficial 1964]

All Japanese music I listened to at that age (like A9; not joking) and Franz Ferdinand.

[ShTon 268]

Not much. Used to listen to whatever played on the radio/MTV back then. Actually everything heavier was scary for me. Glad I got over that pretty quick, when I actually started to discover music on my own.

[emmny 4139]

i stanned basically the whole 2010 warped tour lineup...ahh my scene days...

[Tokage 5930]

 

oh wait, MIDDLE school....

[plastic_rainbow 2162]

before i listened to vk and heavier stuff, which was around 12-13 years old, i listened to jpop shit lol.

i deleted most of my jpop stuff and only listen to them when i feel like visiting my old self, not on a regular basis.

still listen to all my old vk favorites though, of course!

when i was in middle school, it was also around the same time when i discovered the internet and watched dbz amvs all featuring the song "in the end" by linkin park and discovered the godliness of nu-metal bands and Rammstein and also was a total fucking weeb when i first got into techno while watching other anime amvs

 

bandwise i also stanned mcr and 30 seconds to mars, and shit like cinema bizarre and tokio hotel, & all those other emo bands ............i hated myself in middle school

Recently I was on the Silverstein tour. I really got flashbacks in the moment they played their older stuff.  Since that moment I started listening again some of my favorite bands from my middle school time.

[Takadanobabaalien 3607]

I discovered "cool bands" like limp bizkit, slipknot and korn when I was like... 11? (2001).

 

I've gotten back into this track specifically lately:

 

 

[Atreides 454]

^ One of my best friends quotes this song all the time at work lol, I want to murder him.

[gekiai 231]

When I was in middle school I was horrendously obsessed with Naruto lowkey still am  , anime in general, American pop, and electronic music. A-pop was relatively decent back then in my opinion..I don't want to mention any of my favorite songs or artists because I'd age myself.  ><  I still do listen to it occasionally, but I think my electronic tastes are still aligned as to how they are now.

 

At the end of middle school I discovered visual kei jrock and though I still listen to A9, the GazettE, and Vidoll a lot, I notice that i do not like certain songs as much as I used to anymore..and it makes me a tad bit sad. I also don't like Versailles or D as much as I did in middle school, 'cause I don't listen to them at all now. Weird.

[Aeolus 220]

When it comes to classic rock yes. Everything else not really but I do still enjoy Take Off Your Pants and Jacket or some old school Linkin Park. I can't help but feel around that time Queen of the Damned possibly lead to my current musical tastes and influences.

 

I don't really remember most of the music I listened to around then since I had few cd's and aything else I heard was on the radio. it wasn't until 2003 when i got my first bass and really started listening to music. I would say at most 10% of my music collection is what I used to listen to back then.

[heresytrash 250]

I think I was heavily into Simple Plan for whatever reason, and Yellowcard. Which I still sort of like Yellowcard, since I saw them at Warped Tour where they were like "Yo we're disbanding in a couple of months."

 

 

[vanivani 558]

Trying to remember what music I was into in middle school... it was so long ago lol

I think I was a big fan of Nightwish? lol

[Ikna 1225]

^ haha, me too. I was one of those pesky little mallgoff kids who looked like ugly mansonite emos unable to draw even a straight line with kajal. I listened to whatever my also try hard edgy (and wannabe "satanist") schoolmates listened to: Nightwish, Manson, HIM, Evanescence, Green Day, Nirvana… 

 

Unlike my peers who all became "normal" or jocks after a while I sticked to "dark" stuff, but eventually dived deeper down into actual goth and darkwave music. Also around that time I discovered VK, which to me was now waaaay cooler than "those lame european and amurrican bands".

 

Out from all the embarrassing stuff I used to love as a teen I now only occasionally listen to. And that's mostly restricted to Nightwish (rarely), Deathstars (yes, I know…), Moonspell and Paradise Lost (they are actually still kewl in my book).

 

And of course I still listen to my old Veekay, because I am biased.
