Oof, so this is what getting old feels like. Yikes.
Crank it as long as you want with “All By Myself,” arranged for the first time on a hand-cranked music box.
chef's kiss.
- fragmede 2y agoThe mere mention by the title had the classic phrase "Do you have the time..." blaring in my head as if it were thirty years ago, even if the last time I listened to that was at least a decade a ago. The nostalgia, right in the feels.
- hluska 2y agoI hadn’t listened in Dookie in a very long time. Then my kid and I were talking about music and she wanted to know what kinds of music I streamed back in high school. :) That turned into a talk about CDs and led into listening to Dookie with my eight year old. The album has aged very well. As an adult, I find that different songs are more appealing now than they were as a teen and in other cases, age has warped the meaning of the songs. But as an album, it stands up really well. There are some other well known albums from the nineties that really haven’t stood up as well. I’d recommend another listen! Though, “I declare I don’t care no more.” :)
- iddan 2y agoAs someone who was a teen about ten years ago I can confess it was still very relevant and I even got its CD (though honestly I listened to it mostly on my iPod Touch)
- rhinoceraptor 2y agoI'm 30 now, there's nothing I wanted more than the iPod Touch but I think I made the sales pitch to my parents too hard because I was very excited it had a web browser. I grew up without even basic cable but I did eventually get an iPod classic which I still miss having. I think it eventually met it's fate in the washing machine.

- KingMob 2y ago"Nookie Demastered"?
- 09thn34v 2y agofinally someone says it. nickelback too
- cloverich 2y agoI will say I saw them in concert accidentally once (attending for the headliner, I had no idea they were also playing). I had no real interest in them musically, no hate or anything just no real interest, but wow. They were incredibly good performers compared to the 30 or so other rock bands I'd seen in my youth, easily top 3 performance wise. It really changed my view on the impact a live performance can have on your perceptions of a band and its music.
- notjulianjaynes 2y ago100 gecs is more or less a Limp Bizkit tribute band IMO.
- lelandfe 2y ago> this toothbrush plays Green Day’s “Pulling Teeth” while you brush. Finally, you can put Dookie in your mouth (not recommended).
- agrippanux 2y agoWhen “Out Come The Wolves” by Rancid hit 20 years I was starting to feel my age.
- pipes 2y agoI love this album. So many catchy songs. I prefer it to dookie too.
- lawgimenez 2y agoEasily top 5 punk album of all time.
- iwaztomack 2y agoNot punk. Punk is about being bad at your instrument and looking ugly and being the underdog and still creating a community. When Dookie came out, every highschool and college kid was lined up to buy it, it had constant airplay, and was blasting in every classroom and dorm room. That's not punk: that is 100% mainstream pop. Which is Green Day in a nutshell. Commidified dissent x100.
- lawgimenez 2y agoI was talking about And out come the wolves, and still punk to me. Pixies is punk, replacements is still punk to me. No need to be a purist.
- iwaztomack 2y agoCollege Alternative is not Punk. I went to Pixies concerts when I was at BU in the 80's. They were a rich white kid college band. Punk was a very specific movement. It's like saying, "Yeah, impressionism is same as Cubism." No. It isn't. Don't rewrite history because it suits your invented personality.

- larodi 2y agowe definitely gonna rediscover what de-mastering means, when AI finally gets to master everything instead of us. can't wait for a wave of punk-pixel-human-in-the-wrong-loop-nostalgy much stronger than vaporwave.
- rhinoceraptor 2y agoAmerican Idiot also had it's 20th anniversary, I ordered the CD/bluray box set that comes out later this month.
- aaronbrethorst 2y agoShockingly apt timing.
- samplatt 2y agoWell, the first time around was Bush's re-election.
- pavlov 2y agoIt’s pretty wild that the Republican Party has transformed so much that GWB and Cheney don’t vote for it anymore. It’s only been 16 years since they left office. (Cheney is officially supporting Harris, and Bush clearly is not on Team MAGA either.)
- asveikau 2y agoThis is off topic, but I don't see Bush/Cheney as very different from Trump, and there is a straight line between those. The biggest contrast is that Trump jettisoned decorum and politeness. Bush was outwardly polite as he enacted the same kind of policy. I mean, the appointment of Samuel Alito is a prime example. Look how the Bush court appointments are unleashed now that they've got a few more like-minded colleagues.
- krapp 2y agoYeah, I don't know why Trump is seen as such an iconoclast and anti-establishment type when politically he's a boilerplate establishment Fox News conservative. His personality is really the only thing that distinguishes him from the pack.
