Lol what Edit : Stop respkndign to my comments here holy shit

@@samfartson881 Sonic Youth lasted 30 years Nardwuar has been doing his thing for 37.

Damn, fair point 💀

@@ian_5184 thought sonic youth broke up later than that my bad Still think this comment is lame tho

@@samfartson881 its not lame if its true plus theyre pieces of shit

@@nazare0 Think you'll find this is a nardwuar video. Literally his channel

@@nazare0 because I heard it was cringey af... and I wasn't without cringe... These guys are jackasses -_-

Nardwuar is old school punk AF. He's even a member in a punk band. Sonic Youth were posers, and most people can't name a single song.

@@SomeJustice19k lol what are you saying dumbass. People who actually care about music can name SY songs

@@ryanmedeiros9450 that's not even close to the truth.

Only john lydon actually got it right

@@speedking7224 he’s actually probably the biggest culprit of this

lou reed did it well

@@growskull yeah because instead of sonic youth, Lou Reed actually was cool

@@gggallin8279 fym sonic youth is cool asl, they're a punk band its a little inherent that they're gonna be rude

Association of Free People Blur did not get physical with him. Dave, their drummer, was solely responsible for that. Its not like they all ganged up on him.

Professor Jeffy have you seen the interview with Kurt Cobain?

Excellent point, Professor. In 1991 not too many people outside of the Vancouver area even knew who Nardwuar was, much less what to expect with his approach to conducting interviews. I mean, that was 27 years ago. Those were very different times. I’m not even a Sonic Youth fan, but most of the self-righteous judgement people are throwing at them gratuitously in these comments just goes to show how much social media and the internet have changed the way everyone looks at these things. People are so quick to pass judgement on something that someone said almost 30 years ago, because the safety and anonymity of hiding behind a screen and using an avatar ensures that they will never have to answer for THEIR bullshit 27 years from now.

krischin they did get physical with him. well, just the drummer did actually. dave was pushing him around the entire time and twisted the shit out of nard’s arm before storming off

Pre internet the people hated their time being wasted with pointless trivial questions from an overdramatic tool. Now, that stuff makes for viral views, so people love it

Tom McRoberts Naw he's a control freak douche that can't let the artist have fun. He has to always move the mic away and towards them, he has to set the pace of the interview and decides when a subject is enough. That's not punk at all just a total uptight square he should be able to free flow through interviews but he can't let these interviews be spontaneous

Tom McRoberts Nardwuar is amazing. I love that guy. Nicest dude. The best interviewer ever. He researches like no one else and knows more about music than the artists he talks to.

+Mr. Clean Nah I totally disagree and I think Tom is right. It's the artists that are not allowing themselves to have fun because they feel like they need to adhere to the punk cliche. Nardwuar's just an eccentric guy with a lot of music knowledge and he digs deep and really cares about the artists he's interviewing. He's even friendly enough to give them records & memorabilia of their favorite artists and you think he's a douche? Sonic Youth's rudeness is not a reflection of Nardwuar, it's only a reflection of what type of people they are.

Postmodernism is basically beatnik retardos beating off constantly to Sonic Youth. Showing emotions is part of the human expirience, i guess irony and cynism started to turn people into douchie pretencious pricks. Myself included, haha.

Kim held her own. Good for her.

Good thing I’ve never heard of them, seems like their some random has beens.

@@natebox4550 nah bro they may have been douchebags but calling them random has beens is insane lol, gotta respect them for their musical trajectory

@@jomermcjomeri honestly can't get into them. 10 minutes for a track when half of that is pretentious filler preparing you for a repetitive riff with Kim Gordon, who can't sing. it's giving absolutely horrible ear-rape.

@ciao214Z I’d guess you’d be a normie for not knowing of one singular band from the 90s. It’s

​@@jomermcjomerthey may have made okay music but actin like this gets no respect from me.

undergroundd the music is great, but he’s saying personality wise they tried too hard.

It was a gen x thing.

Sonic Youth a “90’s” band? Zoomers need to be drowned.

Matt Borel In what respect? And this would be relevant how?

J igwe just the opposite. Most bands in the 90’s were all about the music first. It was the era that killed the over the top 80’s rock star persona. A lot of bands dressed like normal people, unlike the hair bands did. They put the music first, before any image.

Haha, true.

DO U KNOW WHY 6 8 7 ? BECAUSE 7 8 9

TheAdskidids1 Enough passive aggressive shade to blot out the sun.

TheAdskidids1 no the fuck he won't nardwuar is an annoying fuck who gets in your face and you just hate him right off the back

Kurt and Courtney were good to him

@LondonStarr he's also on the radio so if he was so bad he wouldn't be.

these guys sounds like high school bullies. such douchebags

What are you talking about? He is the most well known and original interviewer on youtube. These guys were just punkin’ around not paying attention to Nardwuar’s concept , totally different times in music.

The lydia lunch interview is even more pathetic for this.

and?

@@martingarricks6209what do you mean “and?” you a grown man acting like a little ass kid lmao i wouldn’t expect you to understand loser

@@martingarricks6209and only degenerate retards act like this past 21

Sonic Youth are vampires, they look about the same now.

+Ricky X actually he was 32, almost 33, his birthday is on July and this was in April and he was born in 1958 so, he was 32.

He is 58 now.

I think the point was that Thurston was an adult acting like a fucking teenage twat

Is that what adults do? Call people fucking teenage twats?

😂😂

they fuckin’ wish.

LOL

@၃ပ၄ lol

All hipster trashbags

RatatRatR i dont know dude, they were probably just fucking around because they knew how nardwuar is (or was, whatever).

Gotta say Nard was a little extra here

You just described literally every post-high school bully.

Where's the bullying and pushing around in this video? All I see are some people unwilling to engage an obnoxious jackass in good faith. Pretty normal response.

@@thewandering525 All I see is a person unwilling to engage obnoxious jackasses in good faith.** fix'd

Except Nardy he's a real one

+Christian L gosh i wonder why

krischin it's because nardwuar is annoying

ok_brandon98 you are annoying

ok_brandon98 you are sour, lil lemon man

james daly YOU MEAN BIG LEMON MAN

Who else can you be but yourself? Everyone else is already taken.

Exactly great insight

@@AB-sw4kb 😁

I thought the real heart of punk culture was a nihilistic resistance to Thatcherism coupled with a healthy appetite for bodily harm.

Reddit culture is killing the world. Nardwuar is a clown and they're taking the piss. So what!? Such an inconsequential interview that happened 30 years ago to get you all outraged. LOSERS.

Dude that’s insane

And Sonic Youth was instantly forgotten

dang.

Nirvana was out for blood

@@shoopmahboop1374 Daydream Nation is a great album. But, yeah they're assholes.

Daryl Mitchell sonic youth- "beautiful melodies" ? try listening to their music you dumb fuck

gothinjection​​​ I said "rock bands" meaning it wasn't exclusive to just Sonic Youth. Besides it applies to some of their most renowned songs, you have apparently listened to them unlike myself so need I even give examples?

gothinjection hey i resent that SY had some of the most beautiful melodies ever

+gothinjection you don't know shit about the subject you are talking about.

Which is super fucking weird because rappers sing moatly about status symbols and killing people.

Jadles Dude Kim called Daniel Johnston a freak in this not cool

Kim is also a douche

@@ginsu7077 yeah there's a DJ concert on KZfaq where you can hear members of SY just laughing at him and mocking him. It's super fucked up. No amount of good music/art can validate being pieces of shit to other artists dude

Except for the one who broke the record he looks old lol 😂

How? Their music is ass 🤣

so they were 15 in this interview?

just like their music

not a big surprise, sonic youth is shit

THOTH you’re an idiot lmao

@@pauliewalnuts1222 they're literally dick heads man. There's better music out their without all these pretentious poser ego fat heads 👌

Sonic Youth has always thought they're better than they are Much better bands doing more interesting experimentation at the same time

Because it's very very cool to be ironic.

Yea

You sure show them

Really?

I like to think this story is real

I’m sorry but I don’t blame him lol

Whut

Thurston is a cop

ok

There is!

Don't forget the one with Blur.

@Chris Jones and Lydia lunch

And Eric Andre, and Wutang.

And Kid Cudi

I was gonna say the same thing 😂😭😭💀

Nardwaur is a legend

+vickie g I met them backstage when they were opening for pearl jam early 2000s Kims mad cool

Lee Ranaldo seems to have gotten a lot nicer as he became older as well. Thruston still seems like a douche tho.

Windows Peak I met Steve and he was really cool. He sat next down by be and we watched Priests for a bit at Pitchfork. I met Thurston that day too. I told him I thought Sister was an “alright” record (it’s my favorite) and he laughed. I think they were caught off guard by Nardwaur. Most musicians in his early days were. Honestly, they were probably just trying to see if he’d break character, albeit, in a douchey way.

Steve/Lee seem like pretty cool and chill guys, thurston seems like a douche, and Kim is well, ya know, Kim. And pretty shy in interviews.

Well, to be fair, Nardwuar's interview style is kind of hard to keep up with, and nobody knew who he was back then. It was just some very fucking weird guy interviewing you in a very surprising style, trying to make you feel uncomfortable. It succeeded

oh God

@@joles8 yes he did bruh but now its 10 years ago

​@@mastrofpuppets *11

J ward you don't go see bands because of their personalities, moron. Their music is still some of the best rock music ever made, regardless of how they behave in interviews. That doesn't justify their shitty behaviour, of course.

Dylan Switch someone is being a little bitch.

SBF the point you

Idk, they were lucky when their sgit appeared on Guitar Hero 3. Otherwise they'd still be in the junk heap where they should be. At least they serve as a good example of stuck-up punkass kids. Hey South Park, feature these guys in your next season. Lol

@@Musiccazz their music sucks boomer

i mean he does say a lot of things that make you question if he's fucking with you or not. his whole schtick is that you can't quite tell. so before everyone knew him it makes sense bands would get annoyed by someone who seemed to be wasting their time.

@@chaunceyloveshack9530 this is a random 2 year old reply to a comment but it is the most nuanced take on nards interviews in the 90s ever.

i feel like a lot of them were just being tryhards ? is that the right word? i recall one of the members calling lou reed lame, but i think at a different time appreciating the velvet underground’s work

Didn't change, still the same

They were already older here

idk man they were actually really big fans of him and literally personally looked for him in new york when he went missing, i swear lee did a bunch of recordings with him as well

Could u time stamp it for me?

Yeah, that was pretty messed up.

Adam Moravek at which part? i couldn’t hear it

not too far off from the scene now

For what I know they weren't drug users even

They're not cokeheads... most of them don't even smoke pot. I've been backstage with them, and the only addictive thing I saw was that three out of the four were smokers.

@@brandonavery133 I'll believe you

@@chrisbacon2680 this was something you didnt know obviously

Darling Phenylethylamine uh, no. Nothing "started here". King Gizzard and the Lizard is a band of ppl in their late 20s and they had a blast w Nardwuar and came off as genuinely warm and easygoing. These guys are just douchebags.

Their reaction is due to the numerous amounts of bad interviews that bands have to go through. They just didn't know he was in on the joke.

They're not 'antisocial'. They're socially inept.

@@pinoyyya6948 hey yeah they are assholes but don't say that, (suspecting you aren't neurodiverse) its a slur and by saying that you are disrespecting the disabled community; as it is a slur that has been used to haunt the community. thanks

@@skylarlily6289 Ohhh sorry

you gotta be kidding! Social acceptance is the modern rebellion!? Thats about the farthest thing from rebellion I can think of. Everyone and everything now days is about total inclusion, about accepting someone for sexually identifying as a helicopter or a genderless alien or some shit. It would be a rebellion now days to say you dont accept anyone and think non binary people are insane.

THOTH No if you hate on the lgbt community now you’re gonna get shit on from the public and media for the rest of your life so yeah time did change

@@sungjoohwang4355 That's WHY it would be rebellious to do so lol

@Exec Utize Nah, everyone was an aggressive asshole back in the 90's. People have calmed down tremendously over time.

THOTH oh wow! you're so rebellious for being against people living their lives as they choose! look at you destroying the system, thinking being a genderless alien is the norm because you live your life on the internet. the truth is that nobody genuinely compares gender identity to being an "alien". it's just a camp and artistic choice more than anything, not a part of the gender spectrum that anybody actual acknowledges. so, we just don't care, because people identifying as an alien hurts nobody. it's not that deep. and about non binary identities, there is scientific research currently trying to explain and discover the identity and where it comes from. many experts disregard the gender binary and support non binary people. i guess professionals in the field are insane too huh? . also i hope you're not one of those people who think regular trans people are insane, especially since transgender people are validated and explained by modern science completely, because that would be embarrassing for you. so no, you saying "non binary people are insane" when you clearly have very little education on the topic doesn't make you subversive or rebellious, or against the norm in any way. because most people share your view point. it's the gender minorties who are rebellious, because they are that, the minority, yet are loud and strong enough to make you think otherwise :)

because this is Narduwar's personal 9/11

Really?😂

Is it weird that Thurston Moore IS a bitter in mine?
