Why no name for SY's fanbase? - Page 2

SuchFriendsAreDangerous · 01.14.2015, 02:44 PM

That's true, plus Kiss Army follow the David Crosby school of thought which states, "why get into fights when every body knows its better to go to bed with a woman."

Rob Instigator · 01.14.2015, 04:40 PM

indeed.

Phish-heads would be monkey-stomped

What about the Beliebers?

or the three people who love 4 Non Blondes?

Rob Instigator · 01.14.2015, 04:41 PM

I think Sonic Lifers is most fitting for us all.

SuchFriendsAreDangerous · 01.14.2015, 05:22 PM

I think the Beleibers would be into some kind of dance competition. Perhaps they could get into a breaking battle with the Uncle Jamms Army crowd?

Rob Instigator · 01.15.2015, 09:03 AM

but we do belong to smth, this. and its nice. very nice.
no need to take it to the cool etc path. i surely dont think that way.
i played along as you saw, but at some point felt i should be honest.

Rob Instigator · 01.16.2015, 09:16 AM

always be honest.

I was just curious, because every band that has fervent fanatics is given a name by the media, or by themselves. SY must always fly under the radar I guess.

Nefeli · 01.16.2015, 11:28 AM

yes, i think its smth like the latter.
sy fans arent that distinguished as of other bands and/or of other periods in time, where music and specific fashion went along.
or are WE??? ...

anyhoo, fan base name game is fun.

SuchFriendsAreDangerous · 01.16.2015, 11:53 AM

We were a pivotal part of the no wave scene and part of the foundation of the mainstreaming of "alternative", "grunge", and "indie" as one of the first underground bands from these scenes to sign to a major label. However it seems clear that Nirvana usurped Sonic Youth's mainstream potential.

Rob Instigator · 01.16.2015, 12:22 PM

the "near-vana's?"

I agree, also the band is dead, I don't have nicknames for dead things.

Just listened again excellent acoustic version of Lee´s Home Chds. SY is really not dead to me, it lives in these great solo works! But as important SY is to me, I don´t need to be called in any name as a SY fan, I think it´s more for the youngsters.

The Smashing Pumpkins have ghost child(ren).

Is that a rule that you've ever had to apply in other situations?
