Message: [QUOTE="JDCP, post: 184773, member: 76"] good old 90s gangsta rap, as a kid it's the coolest shit around, but once you grow up and you realize how stupid and moronic the themes conveyed in those songs are, and specially when they glorify it or threat themes like prostitution, they kinda lose the cool factor. That doesn't mean I stopped enjoying them, they just carry with themselves a feeling that they didn't have before and that I wished stayed more as a childish power fantasy instead of a crude reality hiding behind a luxurious criminal life of exploitance::injured Any Mexicans here might feel the same with their oh-so-popular Cartel songs. That said, I can't really remember as far back as the times on which I didn't understand english, as I've been speaking it almost since I have memories of foreign songs (Despite english not being my native language) so I never had any problems understanding the lyrics, still back then I didn't understand so distant an ''unamerican'' accents like Portishead, Sugar Cubes or Cibo Matto songs had, so even though I knew they were in english they carried big mysticism around them because I really couldn't get what the fuck they were singing about, a feeling which somehow hasn't gone away probably because of nostalgia. I do kinda miss back when I thought Dio songs were satanic and evil ::smashy I feel like I've had the exact opposite thing happen to me more otften as I grew up, songs I never liked as a kid I've enjoyed them a lot as an adult. Tango and Balkan Brass come to my mind which somehow grew on me when I became a teen::biggrin EDIT: just remembered a song I used to listen a lot in my teen days, and while I still love to listen to it understanding it kinda makes me shiver: Coast is Clear by Curve read em lyrics: [SPOILER="lyrics"] Above my bed, in this ugly room Hangs the whisper of the same man You can't be my father For the love we've shown It's just a little to me It's never enough to swallow those pills Now I'm sick, and always will be Take it, I don't want it You can have what you like Just don't try to trick me to sleep [/SPOILER] THAT'S FUCKED UP and I never got it when I was that young.
