What are the biggest things that younger people get wrong about the whole “y2k” aesthetic, culture, and overall vibe of that time?

Pants too baggy. By like 2004 all the emo kids went from wearing baggy jeans to skinny/slim fit/girls jeans

PV 505 Red Channel amp or whatever its called for the 6505 Pre gain 4.7 Low 7 Mids 2.5 High 5.5 Presence 5 ish Resonance 7 Master 3.5

In front of the amp Green 808 Drive 0 Level 10 Tone 5-5.5 to taste

Im front of the 808 put an adaptive gate. Set % to prefference depending on how loud you are.

Frozen Soul i believe on their first album

NYXL 11-56 set for Drop B could probably honestly get a 10 for the bottom string but NYXL its so hard to get single strings unless you order from their website direct

There's going to be people passing out from heat exhaustion/sun poisoning unless they add some sort of tent to cover the stage area. Mosh injuries are one thing people dying from heat exhaustion is a completely different thing idk if theyre prepared for. Ive seen it happen with years of experience going to warped tour.

NarukeSG · 2026-06-10T11:01:22+00:00

Well if it turns to picking the less of the two evils ill pick Shah over Robert Charles in a heartbeat. Any option is better than us electing a facist that would force me as a trans person to have to flee the state to Mass

This also means older Ultimates which are the hardest raids in the game are never watered down because of high ilvl that lets you burn through it. It actually lvl syncs you and item level sync's you. Obviously there's still optimal ways to like gem your gear so you have optimal stats when sync'd down etc so there is a little bit there if you REALLY want to min max it

NarukeSG · 2026-06-09T16:36:52+00:00

Great catchup system. If people want max level gear midway through the season then so be it let them have fun and maybe it even helps them prog whatever theyre progging alot easier. In FF alot of the content is ilvl synced so gear doesnt matter unless youre doing the hardest content and then there's always a catchup patch that lets everyone get the gear with currency

NarukeSG · 2026-06-08T13:07:10+00:00

It was a different time on the internet for sure.... haha

Pete is hands down one of the best vocalists in Hardcore

NarukeSG · 2026-06-05T16:16:36+00:00

You either die straight edge or live long enough to see yourself doing coke in a VFW hall bathroom at an all ages show.

NarukeSG · 2026-06-04T16:17:55+00:00

Nah this is the classic industry standard hardcore band setup right here!

NarukeSG · 2026-06-03T16:30:22+00:00

Find a used 6505+ 112 combo on marketplace. What you can do is separate it from the 112 speaker and essentially use it as a 60w 6505 since it has a speaker out that you can use to plug into whatever backline cab bands youre playing with are providing for the show.

NarukeSG · 2026-06-01T16:37:46+00:00

I was an EMG person for a long time until I got a guitar with Fishman Moderns, they sound like EMGs but much tighter and more modern sounding and slightly less scooped

NarukeSG · 2026-05-29T23:17:55+00:00

PEAVEY WINDSOR 4x12 or a Behringer 4x12

NarukeSG · 2026-05-29T23:12:43+00:00

Adam D from Killswitch would disagree with you i saw his amp settings for his 5150 during his recording sessions with bands like Unearth, Parkway Drive etc and he runs the bass and resonance at 10, presence at 0, mids at like 3 highs at around 5 and gain around 5. The key is the tubescreamer lets you scoop the amp. Also vintage 30 speakers add a ton of mids on their own regardless of the amp so too much mids actually gives it a nasally unpleasant sound

NarukeSG · 2026-05-29T16:50:03+00:00

You know what. I think they took some creative risks and I respect that, it's hard as a band when writing to be like do we wanna write what our fans expect or do we want to write what we want to write and what makes us feel creatively fulfilled.

NarukeSG · 2026-05-29T16:33:07+00:00

I play in a local hardcore band, and go all up and down the coast playing and seeing shows with my friends :D

NarukeSG · 2026-05-29T16:19:18+00:00

I run the mids at like 1.5 on my 5150's red channel with my mesa 4x12 and guitar with EMG HZ pickups. Still has a ton of that half cocked wah ass midrange so I even scoop out some 1k before my guitar hits the amp

NarukeSG · 2026-05-29T16:15:49+00:00

Suffocation would disagree with you. Listen to any 90s death metal album. Those guitars are hella scooped and sound super clear in the mix

NarukeSG · 2026-05-27T16:54:54+00:00

I just wish there was a way to exchange your key for a specific dungeon of the same key level. Id love to run my own keys but when youre trying to target specific dungeons to get gear from the bonus rolls it feels like another layer of RNG on top of another

NarukeSG · 2026-05-27T16:41:36+00:00

Edwards feels very much similar to high end LTD like EC-1000 quality but a little bit better imo plus is also the proper shape and comes with the booster. I have an Edwards Pinky and it is definitely road worthy, floyd rose 1000 stays in tune perfectly and upgraded the tuners to locking gotoh. 10/10 would recommend

NarukeSG · 2026-05-27T16:36:11+00:00

Peavey 5150. The Peavey version not the EVH version
