Depending on how old you are, you might remember a bit about the 90’s. Those ten years were wild and a lot of happened, but we are here to talk about the music.
To give you a little bit of perspective during the 90’s, finding the music that represented you and with that, new friends to share that was crucial.
If bands like Nirvana, Pearl Jam, Sounds Garden of Foo Fighters wasn’t your thing and classic rock or metal neither you found yourself lost trying to find that genre that represented yourself.
But out of the blue, new sounds starting to arise and what the media quick labeled as Nu Metal was born (officially a little bit early but the media was looking in other directions until they realized something big was happening).
Bands like Deftones, Linkin Park, Rage Against the Machine, Coal Chamber, Korn, Slipknot and of course Limp Bizkit spread all around the high schools worldwide. A whole generation found the music that represented themselves and a movement to be part of that wasn’t coming from the 70’s or 80’s and didn’t require leather jackets, and skinny pants.
These new bands were fresh and they were talking about things that made total sense. No more fire, long hair and spandex. This was about skateboard, have fun and practically say “Fuck you” to a lot of things. This time we were doing our own thing and we refused to follow any rules.
So if you were there you know what I’m talking about but if you came later to this world and went to the Limp Bizkit show on Wednesday at the Hordern Pavillion, that’s the reason why most of the audience was mid 40’s and we were having so much fun, acting a little bit crazy.
It was nice to go the show and enjoy those songs that brought back so many memories. High school memories, dyed hair, baggies, skate sessions, endless summers and on and on.
The show had big hits, a few covers and Limp Bizkit in good shape doing their thing. They started with “My generation” and in just a few seconds of the song we were all in. As easy as that. Nostalgia is a powerful thing and those songs are linked to good times memories and listening to them really loud with the band in front of us, triggered a lot of stuff straight away.
The show was sold out a few days in advance because as I said, this band represents the change we witnessed and also a whole generation and we didn’t want to miss the opportunity to be there one more time. The band is still irreverent, having fun and not taking themselves too serious which is absolutely perfect.
The best part was that if you really enjoyed the show you had the chance to see the band performing again in three days, headlining The Good Things Festival. Well, this show was one of the sideshows of the festival and was one of the introductions, just a little bit of taste of what you’d find at Centennial Park on Saturday.
And talking about the changes, the supporters were Hanabie from Japan. Young, female, hardcore band that sounded really good. Maybe you don’t know but the hardcore scene has been a boys club for a long time and to see them playing like tomorrow doesn’t exist, was refreshing. Hanabie has this Japanese flavor mixed, punk, electronic with pure hardcore that makes their sound different and powerful. I think they were the perfect match to open the night, new bands are emerging that are changing everything and new sub genres should be taken into consideration.
Hanabie also played at the festival so we had another chance to enjoy the show for a little bit longer. I’m sure we are gonna hear more about them in the future.
