Oh Jarvis Cocker.
I'm watching MTV2 and it's the top 40 Britpop (terrible name for a music genre) anthems. I'm 16 again *sigh*

What music were you into at 16?

Scandinavian Black Metal
I can't believe Varg Vikernes is out of prison and living on a farm, with children. That's the end of my childhood :(

Whatever was in the charts probably; The shamen, Happy Mondays, Blur, all things similar.
My taste got more defined as I got older.

16 is where it all started to go wrong.

remembering the not-so-salty taste of teenage jizz?

( Grrrmachine the indifference engine, Wed 27 May 2009, 22:33, archived)

Set my sights a bit higher
Teenage boys didn't have cars or motorbikes. Teenage girls however can get both really easily.
( The Cat's Mother Not a People Person., Wed 27 May 2009, 22:35, archived)

Rock and metal.
Dad always had me listening to Queen, AC/DC and GnR since I was a toddler.

Glam rock mostly.
And a bit of prog rock.

Stuart Maconie coined the term 'Britpop' - true story there
At 16? Anything from Stone Roses, Inspiral Carpets, Carter USM, Smiths/Morrissey through to Guns n Roses, Iron Maiden, Half Man Half Biscuit, REM and Debbie Gibson

Oh lor...
Linkin Park, Greenday, Nirvana, Oasis, A, New Foud Glory, Finch, Blink 182.

My taste has got much better, honest!

I liked the same
When ever I think back to that time the lyrics i always think of are..

"there's a sandstorm running through my head, I've seen many colours but the only colour coming through is red, it's knocking me dead" or something like that
( Mrs Sp@m, Wed 27 May 2009, 22:31, archived)

I remember a few songs I loved but I can't remember either band anme or song title
There's the Greenday one video in a mental hospital (basketcase maybe?)
and then loved the video to Black hole sun.

Rainbow were shitty commercial metal
Deep Purple were a bunch of sweaty noisy balls-to-the-wall rockers

Fuck off Jo Lynn Turner. And take Graham Bonnet with you. Cunt.

I was going through my metal phase at the time - Iron Maiden especially
but dance music has always been my passion, since I was about 8 years old
( h3donist tryin' to play me out as if my name is Sega.., Wed 27 May 2009, 22:38, archived)

Not fucking Blink 182 or Limp Bizkit.
Which were what many of my contemporaries swore by.

I got into drum 'n' bass just to spite them.

In every genre of music, there are a few nuggets of gold surrounded by tons of shit.
Except nu-metal, in which the nuggets are nothing but shit wrapped in gold-looking foil.
