Support NeoGAF

[MiyazakiHatesKojima]

Literally 100% of their fanbase consists of boomers and as a millennial, I can't be bothered listening to their boomer music.

Everything about that band screams "Boomer" to me, personally. Just look at their latest album's cover art:

This shit reeks of boomerism and middle-aged sensibilities

The biggest proof, however, is that some of their biggest fans include Papa and @PKM, two of the biggest boomers on GAF.

What more can I say, GAF?

 

[Mista]

Millennials will never know the power of Tool and their epicness. Hit me with that “ok boomer” I’ll be waiting

What's buttrock?

(I know google exists...)

By the way MiyazakiHatesKojima this is your best off-topic thread yet.

 

[brap]

What's buttrock?

Shit like nickleback, stained, seether, breaking benjamin, creed, etc.

 

[Jenenser]

lol, fuck off?

and lol brap
keep bitchin, id like to laugh some more.

 

[Bert Big Balls]

I'm 28 and absolutely love Tool. Only discovered them in 2018 but think they are fantastic.

 

[Fushitsusha]

Are TOOL fans tools?

 

[King of Foxes]

Am I the only one not really sure what this Boomer and Zoomer shitty meme is about

 

[LegendOfKage]

Literally 100% of their fanbase consists of boomers and as a millennial...

What happened to Gen X? I'm pretty sure most of GAF don't remember seeing the Beatles on Ed Sullivan or anything like that. "Boomer" seems to be the new MILF, where a trendy term somehow is constantly being applied to people who probably would be more accurately classified otherwise.

Never heard a single track and will keep it that way.

100%. They think they're smarter than they are and are about as obsessive as juggalos. I went to school with this dude that wore nothing but Tool shirts everyday.

lol, fuck off?

Stay butthurt, Maynard.

I'm not but stay passive aggressive that some guy on the internet said mean thing about buttrock band.

 

[Fushitsusha]

Someone's triggered for real over not liking a particular band. That's seems insecure.

Why is it called buttrock anyway? Like a joke genre.

 

[Loke]

I've always tried to get into Tool but it has never clicked for me. Dunno why. I do like Pneuma from their latest album however.

They are often compared to Meshuggah and I don't see why really, they're like nothing alike to be honest.

 

[Elektro Demon]

I never liked Tool. But it doesn't have anything to do them being boomers. I just think their music is shit.

 

[Jenenser]

I'm not but stay passive aggressive that some guy on the internet said mean thing about buttrock band.

no, you didnt talk about the band. you were talkin about the people who listen to said band, dont backthread now. i couldnt care less how much you think a band is shit. (i can however think, that reductionist statements about a band and their music is bitchin and funny to me )
theres a high possibility i dont listen to your music because i dont like it. doesnt make you an asshole for liking it.
thats the difference.

Formed in 1990. It's peak Gen X.

How is it boomer music when it's only like 25 years old?

 

[Rentahamster]

 

[DunDunDunpachi]

If you want some boomer music from that time period sit down and listen to Dream Theater.

How old are you?

Tool rocks. I've been hooked since I was 10 when I first saw the Prison Sex video.

Also, A Perfect Circle's Mer de Noms will turn 20 this year. Awesome.

They are often compared to Meshuggah and I don't see why really, they're like nothing alike to be honest.

Obzen was heavily influenced by Tool after they toured together and Adam Jones said he was influenced by Meshuggah as well. I can see the similarities in terms of structures but they really don't sound alike. They do have many sensibilities that are compatible.

 

[ResilientBanana]

Aren’t boomers in their 70’s right now? Millennials are fucking idiots.

 

[Thaedolus]

Can you request another ban for yourself?

Also the boomer shit is played out, get a better insult

 

[Werewolf Jones]

School shooter music.

 

[Maiden Voyage]

Formed in 1990. It's peak Gen X.

This is it. It's Gen X.

Also, I loved Tool so much in HS. I still listen occasionally but the new album is not very good. Sure Adam and Danny are on fire, but the rest of the band phoned it in.

 

[HotPocket69]

Anyone that uses the term “boomer” is a faggot.

 

[Gargus]

They seem to be a band that you either love em or hate em.

I like them a lot though. I didnt at first though. But I guess I ended up hearing the right song when I was in the right mood and it really stuck with me so I listened to more, the more I listened the more I liked them.

Here are a couple of my favorite ones. I tried to give some examples of different type of their songs that feel different.

One of their first big hits.


A long song that builds very slowly. Really good to listen to with headphones on and relax.







And this one has the lyrics with it in the video as an example of how weird some of their songs are.

 

[Rentahamster]

Why is it called buttrock anyway?

Because it kicks butt.

[HotPocket69]

I love how it’s always millennials and other young dumb kids that complain about Tool nowadays

ERRRGH THESE SONGS ERRRGH WHERE ARE MY CHICKEN NUGGETS MOM

Go listen to your ADHD agoraphobe fudgepackin Imagine Dragons bullshit then

 

[Maiden Voyage]

H. is the best Tool song. Fight me.

 

[Jesus Carbomb]

It’s about time someone made a Junior High Music Discussion OT.

 

[Greedings]

Boomers are too old to listen to Tool.
