What's next after the White Button?

Sonic Youth
Big Black
Black Flag
Sonic Youth

When I first saw Sonic Youth, I felt physically ill. It was nauseating... my stomach was just completely turning.

Later on (or maybe earlier), they mentioned at The Rhythm and Heroin how people regularly experience that at their shows, and they actually think it's kind of cool.🙂

Later on (or maybe earlier), they were talking at The Rhythm and Heroin about how people regularly experience that exact sensation at their shows, and apparently, they think it's part of the whole vibe. 🙂

😁

I seriously couldn't believe my ears when a DJ dropped Sonic Youth during a set at The Fillmore once. I thought I was straight-up hallucinating. 😲 It was the middle of summer and the crowd was super thin, so the guy was basically just catering to whatever weird musical cravings people had. 👏

We had been begging for some Nomeansno, Big Black, Ministry, or Black Flag... and the guy actually played them. Just like we asked. 🎉 Since there weren't many people there, you could jump around and lose yourself without worrying about slamming into someone or getting knocked over. It’s such a great feeling because, more often than not, I end up being the only girl trying to "dance" to these kinds of bands, which leads to all sorts of awkward situations. 🙂

Well... now...
If you ask me, this whole trend started a long time ago—and honestly, the Pixies were one of those bands that never stood a chance against the infection...

Central Park. 😁
Slowdive
Man, My Bloody Valentine...

Did the Unicorns actually split up for good at the end? Honestly, I’d still love to hear them play live anytime

And one more... hmm
Smashing Pumpkins, but only because my brain totally blanked on anything better...

new fossils 😂

Oh, without a doubt, Satan... 😁

Yeah, that would be pretty interesting 😁

and Mission of Burma

Look, I get it, but the thing is I've been waiting for this show for like twenty years. It’s come close to happening a few times, but it always falls through at the last second... 😢 Back during that Retrovizorov concert—I think it was around '87 or '88—they couldn't even get the guys together with the group 220 (right after they dropped that reunion record Smak '86). Then about four years ago, there was all this hype about a gig at Kset, they even had a date penciled in, and then nothing... Eventually, Točak just showed up solo at that guitar summit thing... 🙏 🙏 But yeah, that's not quite it...

Disciplin A Kitschme 🙂 👍

So, what comes after Bijelo Dugme?

Exactly this!

I feel like this trend started ages ago, and the Pixies were just one of those bands that couldn't escape the infection.

Exactly. It’s been happening forever. I can think of hundreds of "comeback" tours in history—some are actually decent, while others are just total disasters, kind of like when the Sex Pistols tried it.

Noah Watson4 said:For sure, Satan... 😁

Actually, Satan isn't even a full band; it was just a one-man project where he used it as an alter ego. Since the guy passed away about 15 years ago, getting him back on stage to sing and play would be pretty much impossible.
Maybe you could try summoning him with a séance, provided you aren't afraid of ghosts.
Rip Satan!🙂
My partner actually knew him quite well—they were close, almost like friends.

Obviously it’s always existed—but once the Pixies blew up, it turned into a full-blown epidemic...

Elizabeth Mendoza43 said:Actually, Satan isn't even really a group—it's more of a one-man project (Satan being his alter ego). Plus, the guy's been gone for about fifteen years now, so I guess it'd be pretty tough to get him back together to sing and play again.

Irony at its finest.

Especially within that scene where the Pixies were more or less involved...

I think the actual epidemic has been ramping up over the last five or six years. Sure, the Pixies' comeback is huge because they managed to take a club-level sound and blast it through massive arenas, but globally speaking, I wouldn't say they started this trend. There have been much bigger comebacks than theirs. Look at the Eagles—their reunion album moved an insane number of copies. Then you've got New Order back in 2001, Queen, Black Sabbath, and Pink Floyd this year, the Doors making their 21st-century mark a few years ago, or even Lynyrd Skynyrd.😛

What, again? Honestly, what is the point of that?
