@@crazybiscut nah, that's the real song. The one their talking about is Mini Maggit, aka the one blemish on a perfect album, aka the song they were forced to write by their label to have something "radio ready" on White Pony. This is why there were multiple versions of the album: so they could appease the label by putting that song on one version while not compromising their vision on the others.

bruh that natalie imbruglia song... so good

[@tugger]

the bro crush energy in this video gives me joy, "the wallet chain is back, and it's pissed" 😂 edit: you're right it is gothic in the style of suger but Nathalie Imbruglia's Torn can be contextualized in a medieval catholic theme, easily. "I'm all out of faith, this is how I feel", this wasn't tween. This was the period of music with Jewel and Dido to soften the 'rebel grrrl' sound of the 90s I think what makes skaters like Nguyen and Anderson interesting is they didn't bow to cultural pressure in their learning progression and allowed themselves to develop intuitively in an autodidactic manner.

[@brandonhanson9412]

Love your vids broham... watch them all. The first several minutes of the video, the music was "Deftones," you seem young, so I'll forgive you, lol. I'm an elder millennial getting back into skating after getting sober. The progression is insane even in the decade.... keep up the vids bro, take care

[@etherealmind00]

I love your take on this. As a skater from the generation you are referring to, late 90s/early 2000s, I can confidently say you have an insanely accurate assessment of that time in skating. It actually wasn't bad! This a sick and dirty part, even if a bit ironic. Good coverage. Kyle Walker has the most bangin' part of the year. Raw as Fk... SOTY.

[@boejudden9011]

Same here. I feel like the irony is just a security blanket so they could dive face first into nostalgia and still keep their cool about it. Instead of the lame VHS aftereffects, it's a tasteful nod to the same sentiment.
