Millennials' Conversations.


Commiserate about their badness.

The one thing I don't like about TP: The Return...well, two things that occur together, is
1) The monkeysucking white boy music that Lynch often puts at the ends of episodes. Not all of it, but lots. I feel like I'm watching an episode of Buffy the Vampire Slayer, when they go to that teen club in every ep.
2) The GD soul sucking conversating between Millennials in a bar. Ugh.

reply

The people in the audience watching these bands look like total morons. Must have hired them from some MTV program.

reply

Perhaps they won a contest. I am sure they were hipsters that have been waiting for Twin Peaks to come back every since they watched it on Netflix in 2014, and they entered a drawing to be extras.

reply

They definitely look like a bunch of dummies; especially the one who twirls his leather coat in a couple of the episodes.

reply

The conversations some of the teens in the original series had weren't exactly the stuff of Mensa either.

reply

Agreed. Neither was the conversation between Evil Sarah and the truck driver. But that's not what makes them so painful to bear.

reply

If you could remove the monkeysucking white boy music...who would you replace it with?

reply

Basically anything with a funky beat or some soul. Something where the singer doesn't play an instrument at the same time.

reply

You just wanna bug out to it?

reply

I dunno, I just can't take white boy guitar rock music.

reply

Im just teasing, but you said you went to punk rock shows in the day so "if its gotta funky beat, then i can bug out to it"

reply

Punk rock music mostly sucks. I was into it because I was a spastic kid and didn't yet know how to move my body besides smashing into people, and because I was under the illusion that the music as "saying something" just because political stuff and whatnot were being brought up.

Most of the music I listen to is Jamaican music and American oldies (r&b, soul) and different kinds of "traditional" music.

Any music you can hear on the street or in a club in New Orleans is pretty badass and might actually work for TP.

reply

I like lots of different music. I liked Trouble, Rebekah Del Rio and The Cactus Blossoms the most at the Roadhouse.

reply

Just no about punk rock.

I think this season would almost be better with a raw, cranky, industrial sound. It just feels more like that. Like twin peaks: innocence lost or something.

reply

I wish Ministry was still around...they would be great in the Roadhouse.

reply

Modica? Coming through with ministry? Damn, you are a mystery to me girl. Ministry might be too much for tp but id take them over nin any day of the week. Ooo i love me some ministry modica.

reply

Remember I am a boy...lol. Anyhow, Ministry is much better for the Roadhouse than NIN. I would love to see Sonic Youth tear it up at the Roadhouse, but they broke up a few years ago.

reply

Sorry i keep forgetting.
Duuuude, sonic youth would be awesome at the roadhouse! I always liked that twin peaks had its own little musis scene but if we're bringing real bands there....sonic youth...good call. That is the sound i was speaking of.

reply

...or voivod.

reply

Voivod...Yes!

reply

Gotta head to work. Gonna listen to "so what" on the way. I dedicate it to you, my weird enigma😇

reply

Good tune, but it could make one aggressive. Take care on the road.

reply

Land of Rape and Honey is a great album.

reply

Yup. They were an interesting band. They went from synth pop dance music to hard-hitting, angry rock music.

reply

Like the reverse of The Flaming Lips. Sort of. Although TFL went from hard hitting, angry rock music to psychedelic experimental happy core. At least they found their niche and are enjoying success. They put on a very entertaining show as well.

reply

TFL are a good band. Seen them twice.

reply

Me too. Most recently last spring in Atlanta after consuming edibles. Not quite the same as the LSD trip Wayne Coyne would probably recommend but still a lot of fun.

reply

There was that one scene with sonny jim where they played miles davis or someone? I know i was surprised to hear such mainstream jazz on twin peaks.

reply

Yup. I was, too. I think it was Dave Brubeck "Take Five" or something. Trying to remember.

(I used to play jazz professionally. Not boasting, just stating. I actually don't even like jazz much anymore and I'm not up on what's going on at all.)

reply

Im not bragging or anything, but i used to play trombone. Not professionally, but i was 2nd chair.

reply

It's not a very lady-like instrument. Not judging, just stating.

hehe

reply

Really briggs? Watch it.

reply

What about you modica? Lol

reply

Hopefully modica plays melodica.

reply

I play piano still and once played flute, oboe and trumpet. I have a great singing voice too.

reply

Given your piano and wind instrument skills, you should have no problem picking up melodica then.

reply

Not crazy about the sound of that instrument. I had an cheap organ as a young boy and it reminds me of that. That organ was replaced with a piano and was much happier afterwards.

reply

Dude. It's a free reed instrument. It makes the sound of an accordion or harmonica.

Point is, it's handy in size and you could dance around playing it and call yourself Modica the Melodica Man.

reply

I don't know about that. I don't like the sound of that name.

reply

Why would anyone think you would brag about that? The fact you seem to be a silly white guy that wants to be a black guy totally negates your earlier hilarious comments. Now you're just as pathetic as those millennials if not more so. You're just an old ass version of them. An embarrassingly cliched old ass version.

Mores the pity.

reply

It may seem sometimes like mommy doesn't love you, but more than likely she is just grabbing a little distance and taking a break from your personality.

reply

I'm glad you had a breakthrough with your therapist but it has nothing to do with the subject at hand. Perhaps in your next session you can work on accepting you will never be a black guy. What turned you against jazz by the way? Did those scary jazzmen offer you a reefer?

reply

I never understood how someone can love a type of music and then completely lose interest in it.

reply

You're only like 15 so how would you know? Give it a few years. Or maybe date someone and wait until you don't stay with them for the rest of their life.

reply

I wish I was 15.

reply

Are you / have you been a professional musician? Do you perform jazz? Your ridiculous idea of "jazzmen" with reefer says no.

There are a lot of reasons why, over the course of one's life, one becomes more or less interested in a musical style, or in anything, really. Like I said above, I grew out of punk rock when I was no longer a kid feeling the need to spazz around and when I decided I didn't care for song lyrics thing to be simplistically political. I stopped listening to modern classical music when I started working labor jobs regularly and there was never the right environment or space to really get into it -- to get into the right, quiet mental space for it. My reasons for losing interest in jazz had to do both with the music itself and with the personalities that were typical of the musical scene. I could say more, but you don't deserve to know because you're a piece of shit.

The only reason you clicked on this thread was because you saw the word "millennial," which is a dog whistle for you. Then, because your mom hates your druggie ass, you looked for a chance to drop some savory Dutch apples on the rug. Take a walk, and bring the dog with you.

reply

So basically it WAS because someone offered you a reefer. I bet you have no issues with booze though. You seem to have many anger issues. How do you rationalize your anti marijuana paranoia with your unfulfilled desire to be black? Is that one of the reasons for the anger issues?

I click on most of the threads on boards of shows I watch. Do you hear unexplained whistles while on this site? I don't and I think you may have a tumor or something. You should mention this to your therapist.

reply

"Millennial" was a dog whistle for you. Bullshit on "I click on most of the threads." However, then you realized that this particular discussion of "Millennial" wasn't going 100% in the direction of your usual rants, and you got triggered by seeming references to race that weren't in line with your usual bitch tirade.

This is not Yahoo! News. Some of us are not sitting in the middle of the U.S. on a musty dog hair blanket only looking to speed up a few hours until tomorrow comes around. I understand that there is no one in your life - not at work, not in your community, not family - that ever wants to ask your opinion. This is why you creep around in these on-line groups; I get that. There are things you can do though, if you'd calm down a while and stop trying to be an asshole. Maybe start by calling your dad?

reply

You're a really unhappy guy. Is that why you spew so much vitriol and project so often? You keep mentioning being abandoned by your parents and not having anyone in your life. It's obvious you are desperate for some human interaction but you're such a jerk no one can bear having an actual conversation with you.

Work on your personality and perhaps watch something other than Twin Peaks and one day you may have a friend of your very own. Good luck.

reply

It's more like white girl music. They only played something approaching testosterone filled rock a time or so. The original series and FWWM had better music, including throwback beatnik sounding stuff. I wish they'd play some metal like in Wild At Heart (NIN is alright but doesn't count).

The incidental music in scenes has been great and getting better as the series progresses though.

reply

A very truthful post.

reply

"monkeysucking white boy" Hilarious.

"soul sucking conversating between Millennials" Is there any other kind between millennials?

Sadly those are not the only things I don't like but those are indeed 2 of the things.
