Yeah that’s what I figured but just wanted to get other opinions since its been most of the week. It wasn’t nearly this bad when I first started using the platform but I guess the “official reddit exodus” really took its toll even with the big server upgrades. I’m looking at other instances, but it seems like any instance that isn’t the big ten or so are pretty dead with very few communities. I also want to be federated with lemmygrad and not exploding heads and that seems kinda tough to find though I could stand to look harder.

I tried that and another app right now but it’s telling me that my password is wrong! So I’m nervous to try and reset it right now Guess I’ll try again tomorrow sigh

That just happened to me as I was going to try a new app because I’ve barely been able to interact with lemmy.ml at all the last week due to what seem like bugs. So hopefully it’ll be a short lived issue

Watanabe made Samurai Champloo too! True masterpieces. This is super exciting

Hahaha sick I’ll try to check them out, so curious about the sound

Lol aw man I’m definitely getting old; I remember when Skrillex came out and kinda ruined the genre tbh, it was so totally different when it first emerged, it actually sounded like dub. So I’m not familiar with any of those guys, they were after my time.

I think it probably depends on the listener but yeah, if I try to listen to most mid 80s hip hop, it’s so rudimentary that it’s really hard for me to a tuslly get into. Like Run DMC, or NWA. I can get into NWA but the novelty runs out quickly so I can only listen to them very rarely. But there are a lot of newer bands that I hear and say “I’ve already heard x y and z do this better” so it’s hard to get excited about new stuff too. If you are a really avid music listener I think it has to take something exceptional coming out to really get impressed by

Pshhhh get me some molly and that song will still go so hard lol

Wow, that’s fucked. Was the dudes name Randy or something? I think I vaguely remember hearing about that

Oooo I wanna check it out! Who should I search for?

Oh man for whatever reason this is a top tier cringe band from my teen years lol. Used to jam them on my discman on my way to PE

Cinematic masterpiece

Edit: actually this one is the cinematic masterpiece. I actually do wanna go to the Gathering

I’m curious what old songs you might be thinking of? I was a wannabe raver in middle school and an actual one at the end of highschool lol. I may know what’s up

Haha that was one of my first CDs as well. Loved that shit

Nice, good to know they’ve still got it. I got to see them once waaaay back, like 2004 or something for the Subliminal Verses tour I believe.

I got to see them perform with Lingua Ignota, weirdest combo ever.

Hahaha damn you roasted them so hard. True I guess I don’t see too many people repping them, I just know they played Madison Square Garden with Scowl, though, so I assumed it’s what you whippersnappers are into

Hahaha Ive had Blind stuck in my head for like 3 days. I stopped listening to them when I was still in highschool but have dabbled in the past year or two and it’s such a good nostalgia hit

Well it used to be slipknot/KoRn/Limp Bizkit etc etc, but now nu metal is cool with all the zoomers, so I’m no longer embarrassed of being a nu metal kid. It’s been pretty cool to reconnect with that stuff without fear! Tbh there are a lot of KoRn tracks that slap, and you can hear their influence in a lot of the underground metal music I listen to. The band chat pile that’s pretty popular right now cites KoRn as an influence. Limp Bizkit is still preeeeeetty fuckin bad though. I fuck with some tracks off of 3 Dollar Bill Y’all$, but so much of it is just corny as hell. System of a Down was always considered dope so they don’t count

I haven’t really noticed that, but I also haven’t dug into the comments too much recently. But, of course if thousands upon thousands of redditors jump onto this platform it’s going to change the culture. Maybe try beehaw.org. they are.known for blocking a ton of instances but i think it’s heavily moderated towards people being trolls.

It’s my hope that a lot of the people who want to turn lemmy into reddit will get bored and leave since the interface isn’t as convenient as reddit
