- canadianfella 3y ago> Americans invented punk, but early American punk, created by bands like the New York Dolls, the Stooges, the Ramones, and arguably the Velvet Underground, was a musical protest rather than a political one, railing against the silliness and pomposity of 1970s arena rock with tight, messy, three-minute pop songs. What does “tight and messy” mean here?

- okwhateverdude 3y ago> What does “tight and messy” mean here? In music terms, playing tight means being exact. But I think in this context tight would be length of the song and how succinct it is. 70s rock could be power ballad-y with long solos. As for messy, in context, I'd argue it means the songs are less structured compared to 70s arena rock that are extremely formulaic (think of any AC/DC song and how it sounds just like every other AC/DC song).

- Loughla 3y agoFun fact, today's college students in my part of the country sing exactly like Tom DeLonge when they're mocking modern pop music. They don't know why, but they do. It's hilarious to me for some reason.
