It hasn't been the same since Pookie departed.
|
Pookie made a pass at me the first time I posted my picture. !@#$%! warned me of his maleness, but he is consistently agreeable.

you're forgetting category e) - swa(y), the one who projects his own self concioussness onto a travesty of an analysis of the board and dreams of being asked out on a date by iggy pop were they go to a pilates class and then have an organic lunch. |
but seriously...
i would like to become a mod and then close sonic gossip, sonic sharing, ban all the parody threads, sonic youth fans, stupid fucking indie smug lifestyle "so im just doing something inconsequential basking in the pointlessness of my subjectivity making a thread about it and im so self aware and ironic" threads, ban anybody that likes hunter s. thompson or anything i deem to be shit, be able to delete whatever posts i want to to drive out the people i don't like and then bask in the facist glory of my own impotent obsessions with shitty american entertainment and so called art thus further wasting my life and clogging up my brain/try to have interesting discussions with people where there is no ego "i have the cooler toys than you" approach and ideas are actually shared. |
but this will never happen because as someone already said this place is used more as an "ego support" network for a small number of people who enjoy presenting a false avatar of themselves. but i think some are also probably genuinely trying to maintain friendships with each other so i can't knock it too much. most people who come here are searching for some way to be in the world, the secret they think must enable sy to do what they do, they lurk around and gradually post more and more until they are no longer in awe of the regular ones who must know something they don't because they have become them to the newer posters so they get sick of themselves. it is an unusually friendly board, we all complain but it is a lot more welcoming and civil than most.
this place is also the graveyard of a certain type of generation x attitude that is long past its sell by date and only brings misery to the sad fuckers who try to keep it up as their worldview because it is long obsolete and now just purely conservative. but you do get a certain connection here with what is new in the underground at a level of dedication and obscurity that is unusual for such a mainstream band. the likes of dj rick and nyoukis etc. who occasionaly post here, cooley's 100 strong best of the year lists. stuff like that makes it worthwhile but there is so little of it and so much of the same old bands we all know and don't get anything new out of anymore. i want to leave but it just keeps sucking me back in with it's pointless and quick oppurtunity for attention. i wish i knew some other better board. |
Brilliant ni'k, just brilliant.
I struggle to contribute to this thread. It's easy enough to ignore the prickery (although it does sometimes get a bit too much). I think part of the problem is that it serves different functions for some people. What I perceive as vapid self-indulgence, illiteracy and blind idiocy is just some kid being social, who probably considers me an overly-prolix, sanctimonious cunt. It's only really when those kids are a similar age to me, rather than the other side of 20 that it really grates. |
talking heads
not the same as it ever was more like country bear jamboree.  |
I think the CURRENT state of the board is that for a while it was really sucking. A lot of people stopped posting regularly. And as swa(y) pointed out, it got supersexual. And boring. And I feel like for a while a lot of us were annoyed with others. But I feel like we've all become conscious of a this stuff, and the board is slowly coming around again. Maybe.
|
if this board was a country is would be britain, people complain about the problems but nothing really changes they just get a little bit worse than they were before and people forget about the old problem because there's a new one, and then a lot of the best people fuck off to live somewhere else.
|
it is a lovely shade of prussian blue.
|
I wouldn't fuck a manbearpig, I just want to wub it's fur on my tinklenozzle.

Not many people on here strike like they have any real interest about discussing a wide range of music anymore. It's become too me, me, me, unfortunately. Very sad for a forum of a band that always took an interest in a wide range of music, old and new. Pavement, Polvo, Polvo, Pavement, My Bloody Valentine, My Valentine Bloody My Polvo Pavement, John Branca Jr, Dinosaur Polvo, J Barlow, Boards of Valentine, Smashing Pavements, My Bloody Dinosaur Jr, Jesus & Mary Pavement, Valentine Pumpkins.

Post a Picture of Yourself thread:
Girl: This is me washing my pubic hair while doing the laundry Dave'spenisisverydead: Where do you live? Acneriddenteen: You're cute etc etc |
who can afford the time to stop and think?
|
porky you'd be so happy if this place was blokes only.
Oh well. |
Top shelf absurdity as always. The SYG Forum never ever disappoints!!!!!
I will be here long after I die. |
there's no point in talking about music here.
the topic has long since moved from discussion to competition. perhaps the problem is that sonic youth draws such a varied audience that there's simply no commonality. perhaps yr all just pricks. |

it's okay porky, your homosexism is forgivable.
ha. |
nefeli, truncated, luxinterior, kegmama, jenn, the chilean gir whose username now escapes me (ybgirl?), contrelefuckingsexisme, screamingskull, amongst others. All female posters interesting in their own way, not all of them chat/ted about music often. They still post/posted interesting observations about ''stuff'.

I kind of agree with this. There's like a list of safe bands to discuss. And then there's everything else. But I really don't care. I mean. I like what I like. If viewtiful is gonna be the only one to respond to my Lil Wayne posts, then so be it. I'm not gonna pretend I own a bunch of Fahey albums that I don't. Cuz I don't. Just being real. |
for what it's worth, I've considered giving Lil. Wayne a chance thanks to you (NRedux).
that said, people need to give up their false idols and listen to Salamander. |
floslo, if you do so, then either get THA CARTER II if you want to hear a stunning album beginning-to-end, or get DEDICATION 2 if you want to hear a stunning mixtape beginning-to-end. Although CARTER II will not feature DJ Drama's annoying yelling between tracks.

perhaps the sine wave has dipped and we are now at a point in time, much like similar points before, where much of pop and rock music is not drawn from the same vein as the noise and rock everyone here seems to prefer? |
Threads about new music are few and the rec's aren't as good anymore. Then again, I haven't contributed shit so I can't really talk.

This is the sort of comments that generally try to justify the bad state of things, while ending up condoning it, for whatever reason. What ''there's no point in talking about music here'' can possibly mean on a forum dedicated to a band, not a motorcycle or a dishwasher? Of course people chat about whatever tickles their fancy on the non-sonics section, it's there for that reason, but two-thirds of this forum are meant for music-related things, and it's been a while since the activity on there (the non-sonic sounds especially) has scaled down due to the overwhelming amount of mutual masturbation that goes on here daily. Fair enough, it's an internet forum like there a million others (I post on another two regularly), albeit one of one my favourite bands. |
