Sonic Youth - Teenage Riot (1991)

[@loikeroysh]

This footage as old as me. I wish I were this timeless.

[@KatoBettyBee]

The 90s were awesome.

[@lensofken]

I was born in 1976, and I tend to appreciate the music of the 70's more than the music of the 90's. 90's music drew from 70's punk, funk, folk, rock and metal... sometimes putting it all one big stew, and re-serving it hot, and I love that about 90's music, but I guess I appreciate all of it more in the raw form. I didn't get to see most of the 90's bands that I love in the 90's. I did see Sonic Youth open for Pearl Jam in 2000 though.

[@calvinbaII]

Born in 1989 but the youngest of all my siblings and cousins. The term "hand-me-downs" didnt just apply to clothes, music aswell. I'm glad my older brothers and cousins listened to Sonic Youth, Pixies et al because it shaped my youth in the 90s the same as them.

[@lipebarbosa3407]

Am I the only one who thinks that is the one of the most beautiful songs ever?

[@davidsoma8890]

Lipe Barbosa it's a powerfull song

[@michaelnangle9453]

NO.

[@fymarchan6476]

I Love Teen Age Riot

[@pg6917]

Dude... This is the smells like teen spirit of sonic youth

[@D4F3LY]

3:14 Sonic Youth - Special Guest: Nirvana. How awesome is this?

[@psyclops9]

i remember my town's record store back when 2livecrew cd came out and over on the wall near the corner was a Sonic Youth album, record store is still open after all those years; i think i was maybe a sophomore or junior in highschool then, long time ago

[@thetheRedundant]

1991-1992 was definitely a peak in alternative rock history....a lot of great bands during that period.

"People... of the Universe! Tonight... tonight! ...will be the night, that the skies will open!" "And spray forth... the Divine Hand with pointed finger and say, "Everybody! You're not just a duck, you're human! You are human!" "Go forth! Go forth and thrash!" *Days of wine and roses (European tour'91 with Nirvana, isn't it?)*Sonic Youth Life (Summer 2008 - Alex Winehouse and me)

[@aledlarge]

Beautiful beautiful

[@Saitentraining]

Yeahh ... we love Sonic Youth they have a great Sound...!!! If you like some german grunge you should hear this: Drunken Hippies - Sad things Peace.Love.Grunge

[@PGHSK8R]

20 years later and this song still sounds as good as the day I first heard it.

[@LilRedRasta]

I was born in 1991 one of the best years for music ever

[@Sunflower0122Z]

Saw them on this tour at the Channel in Boston, what a show.

[@DrVicVonDoom]

this reminds me of a time and a place long ago..im glad i had this growing up

[@spica2501]

I love that the concert poster that is briefly flashed in the video lists Nirvana as a special guest, in other words the opener.

[@VojislavGacevic]

forever and ever and ever ... my No1 !!!

[@nikitawah]

love it.favourite tune (one of) from sonic youth

[@amnesiac40]

simply awesome. Thank you Sonic Youth

[@stinky997]

So glad im growing up listening to good bands. I'd like to thank my boyfriend, my dad, my boyfreind's mum, my mum...

[@Steaminlidz]

Off of "1991: The Year That Punk Broke". Best concert video ever made.

[@kalemarefrite]

[@foriamonlyahorse11]

Love this!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thurston Joseph Moore (Coral Gables, Florida, 25 de julio de 1958) es un músico estadounidense conocido por ser vocalista, guitarrista, compositor y cofundador de la banda de rock Sonic Youth y Chelsea Light Moving. Ha colaborado en numerosos proyectos musicales y ha grabado más de una decena de discos solistas, además es el fundador de la compañía discográfica Ecstatic Peace!. 65 AÑOS. (66)

[@axlrosea675]

i'm ten years older than you and grateful for that. 90s were awesome to grow up in. 10 years earlier than that would have been cool just as well, but i admit for you, it all looks a little too bieberesque. yet, there's always good stuff, just gotta find it. i like much of the latest electro.

[@MsMiguel70]

@notsusan Nice man. Great image. Love her/loathe her. Sonic Youth!

[@Shorkiedokey]

I was born in 92 and the grunge music rang throughout all my childhood

[@nightjammer]

I'm so thankful for Sonic Youth (and Hüker Dü and The Replacements) for getting me through in the dark until dawn or until my Walkman batteries gave out. Sonic Youth sheltered me from Bon Jovi, Wham! and Madonna. Thanks for that. Man, I feel sorry for the poor hump that's never heard of Sonic Youth.

[@dutchdrummer1983]

I was born in the 80's, so I was a teenager in the 90's. Based on all the old grunge videos it must have been a great time. But the reality was pretty lame. Nostalgia doesn't buy you anything, so just keep the good memories, and look forward.

[@notsusan]

Classic. I remember doing a speech on this album in HS and playing this song, and I nearly crapped my pants when the most stereotypical cheerleader in the entire class started ROCKING OUT in her seat when the song picked up.

[@davidnathanatx]

ACL Pick #1 The best dual lead guitar band since Television. Bassist is coolest rock chick ever (sorry, Kim). Drummer is highly underrated and perfect for the band. Helped pave the careers of Kathleen Hanna (Bikini Kill), Spike Jonze (director), Jason Lee (actor), rehabbed Mike Watt after D. Boon (Minutemen) died, and Daydream Nation makes great driving music (so does Goo, Dirty, Rather Ripped, A Thousand Leaves...).

[@johnjack773]

Merci... Love the Sonic Youth

[@SauloPerceval]

They will come to Brazil again \ o /. I Need to go to this show !!!

[@SchindlerHaughton]

Thurston has hardly aged in nearly 20 years... it's amazing.

[@llloki20]

@GennadiosArvanitis will do, they're one of those bands i've read about but never really checked out..

[@felixthelmocevallosmorales41]

Lee M. Ranaldo (Glen Cove, Long Island, Nueva York; 03 de febrero de 1956) es un músico estadounidense conocido por ser guitarrista, en ocasiones vocalista y cofundador de la banda Sonic Youth y la banda Text of Light. 68 AÑOS.

[@xicimelody]

thank you so so much (O.O)

[@stanleycen]

@G1MRG in a dream, a dream that you're pissed off to wake up from. but fortunately with Sonic Youth, you can just replay.

[@willfalo1]

one of the best songs ever. simple as that

[@lolttyl143]

i knew who these guys were but never took the time to search them. i wish i had earlier.

[@madwithpower62]

3:15 - Special Guests Nirvana!!

[@javiersolana]

one of their best songs

[@skexee]

This was from "punks not dead". I was into this. I was in my teens...

[@kentallard8852]

@poddylamb nah there was the mid 90s where it got cut really short, look at the diamond sea video

[@Admiralex91]

Happy time travelin' Dude it is out there. Just find some awsm bands! They do exists now.

[@yourskull]

my fav BAND

[@Conor8822]

I heard Nirvana talking about that in an interview :)

[@pg6917]

4 years ago this video had it's last comment, now i take the crown

[@noxisvibrant]

Riffs convertidos en mareas perfectas... mareas malditas...

[@OnlyWayIsLinux-OWIL]

@Tremblay343 What are you on?? What qualifies as an old band?? Since Sonic Youth spans 35 years in total. Not a particularly good one? I think millions would disagree with you on that one! As a guitar player myself I worship this band for their musical abilities, Lee and Thurston are like 33rd and 34th in the greatest guitarists of all time lists.

[@MrAndya37]

ian old girlfriend years ago would come round to my student accommodation and we would drink and listen to this. i still love it.

[@nichobert]

@catalinaMELOMANA i agree. always thought of sonic youth as a great bridge between the VU and a lot of newer bands

[@Plopkap]

Awesomesauce!

[@adolkof]

my childhood on this song *-*

[@DCbound138]

Sonic Youth forever.

[@JesseRoss1WAO]

This song Rocks.

[@erminization]

sonic youth w/ special guest nirvana. totally awesome. throw pavement in there and you have a show stoppin', body rockin' tour de force.

[@SuttonSantiniPaulo]

A long time ago, in a galaxy far, far away...

[@TheSethnicity]

Did anyone note the Tour poster with Nirvana as the opener! :P Love the Youth!

[@b3ny4x]

the ramones are one of the most influential and important band in punk. almost every punk band tries to copy them now

[@xgoldlion07x]

1991 was the best year ever cause i was born and this happened

[@ultravioletaliquido]

i love this song, i

[@ttorres89]

the youth need to learn the roots and listen to sonic youth and all other early music.

[@DrGaslight187]

this speaks to my teenage mind

[@galoffio]

great Ranaldo!

[@Kelmourne]

@skeetshooter99 Hype! and Such Hawks Such Hounds are close runner-ups.

[@notsusan]

I just realized today that they're in their 50s now and it blew my mind, just like when the local "classic rock" station started playing Nirvana and Pearl Jam. Dang. Also I swear they all still look exactly the same but vaguely wrinklier. Wow.

[@ZRN959]

@notsusan you should have gone with "World Looks Red" :)

[@morecowbell69]

@yosimite20 - Kim Gordon is the Nina Hartley of punk rock.

[@omrgo_]

This may sound weird, but everything seems unreal when i listen to this song...

[@dkdkssks]

I heard this song was written about a fantasy Thurston had where J. Mascis from Dinosaur Junior became president.

[@1cingSugar]

not only his hair but he looks exactly the same! i cant believe hes 51.

[@Happymealify]

@dkdkssks Awesome. Dinosaur Jr. is my second favorite alternative band.

[@mcbloom2204]

LOL! This is from the year punk broke I believe.

[@TheJesus35400]

@wrarmatei it's called evolution.

[@xicimelody]

hey, im sorry, was wondering whether u could help me, im doing a project on this song but i dont no anything about Sonic Youth/this song.... do u no where i can download this song and is Sonic Youth Rock and Roll or any other information about this song? I would very much appreciated if u could help me out thanx

[@wrarmatei]

@IndieAuthorX I'm actually pretty involved in cultural studies, with an emphasis on music subcultures; I listen to lots of music. I was obviously making an allusion to the dime-a-dozen ipod commercial indie bands, like Passion Pit. I'm sure David Bowie and Iggy Pop could easily enter that discussion. I wasn't looking to split hairs though; I just wanted to express my dismay with how uninteresting a lot of newer music is to me.

[@eyesorepro]

Um what can touch this now. Name one and I'll go see it and tell you. I've seen this guys and there was nothng like 'em.

[@MarcelloEspindola]

The best rock song

[@BommerdIII]

I was born in '91. Nice, isn't it?

[@EggiMcSpeck]

@ttorres89 i feel the same i´m so sad, that the commercial finaly won (take all the carsting shows, lady gagas and djs... -.-)

[@MarinaVerdi]

I hope you listen to Placebo!

[@poddylamb]

Im pretty sure Thurston's hair has stayed exactly the same for the last thirty years.

[@mambo4dude]

@TheGladmankilla all those artists you listed that you liked weren't mainstream, thats the difference, theres still good music but shit floats to the top

[@littleteethkeith]

Only musicians understand Sonic Youth. They are one of those bands that bands are really into.

[@galvan1114]

Whaaaaat!

[@omrgo_]

@stanleycen exactly.

[@GPThorpe94]

@dkdkssks i think the song its self is a fantasy.

[@krawczykkyle]

the 90's- back when you got away with never washing your hair...

[@FlowConJow]

which song is that indian-sounding music at the end of this video, starting at 4:32?

[@rbihon]

Where is the original clip omg QQ.

[@DavidProfate]

*_* si hubieran palabras para describir esta canción!

[@layla77uk]

@tylenol2k7 This is so true!

[@MarcelloEspindola]

I now it's only rock and roll but i like it.

[@ZeldaFoxEars]

@yourskull Mine too! Lets be best friends forever.

[@catalinaMELOMANA]

they really have some taste of the velvet underground..

[@originalblackpanther]

teenage all around the world rise up!

[@OnlyWayIsLinux-OWIL]

Who said anything about when it was released?

[@LaIslaBonzita666]

from "1991 the year punk broke" movie

[@Monkeytrews]

I was and it was :D
