Nada Surf - Popular (live @ NPA)

live on french tv

[@billsmetal]

The words to this song were lifted directly from a book published in 1964 by Gloria Winters (Penny on the 50's TV show "Sky King"). The book was titled, "Penny's Guide to Teen-Age Charm and Popularity."..

Good fun fact. Its true

[@jtwilliams8895]

love the 90s teen angst. there's no angst anymore, just the pretense of confidence and false optimism. thanks, Madison Avenue!

[@jeremyschep3589]

you gotta listen to some of the indie music of today, there's actually a little too much angst.

[@yogaparadise1982]

Madison Avenue the early 2000s pop group?

[@alexsdb9712]

Bingo. You said it all in a short statement. You also made me cry! Anytime before the 2000s, there were the authentic movements and pop cultures and styles. Grunge/Alternative Rock was the last authentic movement. Mainstream music, television, film merged the commercial side with the creative side. The quality of works was huge. But most of all, there were many works different generations could relate to and identify with.

[@alexsdb9712]

@@jeremyschep3589 @Jeremy Schep Yes, but those indie acts and works these days, consider that now they go under "indie" because the mainstream now is phony, sanitized and dull. Trash too. If most of today's "indie" works were all created and released during anytime before the 2000s (especially in the 80s and 90s), they'd be in the mainstream or popular culture easily.

THE 90'S SOUND MADE ME LEARN TO PLAY GUITAR.BEING 43 AND STILL ROCKING😀🤘🏻🤘🏻

[@Christopherthomas123]

Holy balls, impressed with the live performance, dude sounds just like the studio version. Doing the talk thing while playing is a brain F

[@bigbowlowrong]

I'm fucking amazed they pulled this off so well live. Pretty awesome talent.

[@CounterCultureCantCount]

Gonna give the sound guys some credit, NPA was known to have one of the best production team in the world. That show made every band sound awesome, even Fear Factory, who were supposed to be horrible live.

[@bigbowlowrong4694]

Electronic91 It definitely sounds way better than most TV performances of the era. But what I was referring to is mostly how the lead singer was able to keep those notes going in time on the guitar whilst "singing" the verse. Pretty tough thing to do.

[@tjscuroko2701]

I grew up in the 90s and music was awesome. we lost many great bands because people were afraid of emo. we are at a pivotal point because people are dwelling on the past. in the early 60's rock was dead. there was this awesome band that labels didn't sign because "guitar music is dead." sort of like now. This band that was old news and wouldn't make it was The Beatles. we are at that point, rock is something macbooks can't kill. Rock will live on, we just don't know who will carry the flag. I love old music but don't miss out on what could be great.

[@mauricioa1593]

Kurt Cobain use to wear those fake glasses way before this band.

[@ZombieDragQueen]

Mauricio Cardd That's true, he did a few photo shoots with fake glasses on, the Wayfarer (aka nerd-ish, in pop culture) kind. Did Nada Surf spoof that? Where did "glasses are cool" come from in popular indie culture? My bet is most likely Morrissey who is nearsighted and has been photographed with glasses on. And Morrissey is always a style icon.

[@jesusa.7064]

Stefan B. I always thought Weezer was the first hipster band?!

[@ZombieDragQueen]

Jesus A. Somewhat true, Pinkerton came out the same year as Nada Surf's debut which has "Popular". Though unsure if Weezer's 1994 debut was hipster.

Heartless I used to think that too. I thought they got more credit than they deserved and while that whole scene went on I definitely like Pearl Jam, Alice and soundgarden better. However they were the first to break through (I know pj and soundgarden had albums before them) and I think people forget how bad music had gotten. Shit like white snake and warrant dominated back then. It would almost be like if nirvana were to break through today. Could you imagine if they began their career during this era of electronic garbage? Kinda the same scenario
