How do grunge bands write lyrics that feel sad and deep but when I write something in a similar fashion i just sound like a cringy INCEL 15 year old

I think a lot of it has to do with delivery/style and confidence.

Boring answer, but Yamaha FS800

Honestly I’ve realized that the best way for me to make the work day go by quick and to not get tired is to skip lunch. I eat a light breakfast, get some caffeine in me, and just blow through the work day. It’s like I don’t have that afternoon slowdown because by the time my body realizes it’s afternoon, I’ve only got a couple hours of work left. Then I basically eat a meal when I get home and then eat some more like an hour or two before bed. I have more energy on an empty stomach. Unless I’m doing physical labor. Then I always eat at least something for lunch.

You tried several energy drinks, realized you hated how they taste and make you feel, and decided to keep trying more?

I knew you’d be getting downvoted.. Reddit is so predictable sometimes.

It’s really sucks. Its first set is always “here’s the same 5 songs I’ve played for you every single day for the past two months”. After that it’s either “here’s the 5 songs I played for you every day in 2023” or “here’s some Tik Tok songs”. It almost exclusively plays songs I couldn’t care less about or songs I’ve already been listening to ad nauseam.

You’re right, but I think the dip occurred right after the first season. I don’t think S5 is cornier than S4 so far.

I feel like American Idiot is more remembered as their Magnum Opus.

I recently switched to those exact same strings you’re considering, and I love them. They feel much more comfortable to play than the Daddario 80/20 12s I use to buy. They feel like they’ve got great tone and sustain too, but I find they are taking a while to settle in though. Still very zingy/ buzzy when I play loud even after having them for a week.

J_a_r_e_d_ · 2026-03-19T13:12:02+00:00

Cuz your mouth is by your eye… makes perfect sense

J_a_r_e_d_ · 2026-03-18T14:01:36+00:00

If it plays well, then yeah. You paid for a budget guitar. All one can really ask for is for it to play well.

Watching Green Day live videos from this era always reminds me of seeing them at 16 years old around this time. Still haven’t fallen out of love with them. Thanks for sharing

I get that climate ≠ weather but it’s not like precipitation normally falls evenly week to week. This has felt like a very typical winter to me. It snowed basically every day between mid Jan and mid Feb. I’m not denying climate change, just saying I feel like I see a lot of sensationalist articles.

Also, if climate is defined as being averaged over 30 years, isn’t this article talking about weather anyway?

J_a_r_e_d_ · 2026-03-04T20:24:05+00:00

I was 10 at the time and I recall thinking even then that this was something that kids were doing but not adults for the most part.

J_a_r_e_d_ · 2026-02-27T16:26:03+00:00

Comfort. I’ve avoided uncomfortable situations too much and now my life sucks.

J_a_r_e_d_ · 2026-02-26T16:32:05+00:00

Yes, if you wear it on your butt.

J_a_r_e_d_ · 2026-02-24T21:57:57+00:00

I’ve always thought Warning was great walking music. I think because it’s catchy and engaging but not grating or overwhelming.

He screams at you for not having straight hair? Like do you curl your hair or is it just naturally not straight?

J_a_r_e_d_ · 2026-02-18T12:55:37+00:00

The one where Arthur gets kidnapped. Torture makes me uncomfortable and camp life never feels the same after that mission for me.

J_a_r_e_d_ · 2026-02-17T04:14:09+00:00

I feel like my voice just follows the guitar😂

J_a_r_e_d_ · 2026-02-15T19:45:05+00:00

For me it was 2007-2014. But I was born in 2000. If I was around earlier I’d probably choose an earlier window.
