[@HardTimeBluesCafe]

@@Ennui. I’d say the obstruction to making a “groundbreaking” piece of art nowadays is the means of distribution. The internet killed culture, in that way. Everything just floats in an endless, contextless either. There are no pedestals left to put things on. It’s just a bottomless pit of content.

This is like Smashing pumpkins or nirvana played at Grindcore speed tho, also they fit so much in while still having slow breakdowns and great song structure !!! Definitely nothing typical about it….

[@SinfulSoulBand]

This sounds absolutely nothing like the smashing pumpkins. Or nirvana. Like at all. Theres not 1 breakdown in this song. Grindcore speed is typically 200 plus BPM, and this is nowhere near that. It's a great song, but tell me you're not a part of this genre at all without telling me you're not a part of this genre at all...
