So... let me think back to when I was ~12-16 and what I kind of pretend didn't happen:
New Found Glory. Shoot me. It was my first concert too. When I was about 12. I tell people my first concert was Nuclear Rabbit, but that wasn't until I was 14 or 15.
Godsmack for me as well. There are still some tunes I think are bearable, but generally haven't gone their way in years and years.
Disturbed. I was big on the album with Voices and Down With the Sickness. When their newer albums came out ... 10,000 fists ... I was really put off and didn't look back. Now, not only do I think their newer albums are/were ****e, I also think their old albums were ****e. I theoretically could get down to that particular album again, but I now have better albums that get me pumped up that I can relate to more...
Hmm... Dave Matthews Band... I don't dislike them now, but I was much more into them when I was <15. I remember getting **** from kids in middle school for liking them. My mom got me into them. I heard their latest album after Leroi died and thought it was decent (at best). Carter Beauford is still one hell of a drummer, and they still have their badass horn guy (or whatever that is [nothin beats the solo on Crush]
Kottonmouth Kings - not much explanation necessary. I liked them before I smoked, and I don't know why. Once I started smoking, I thought it was cool for about 20 minutes and then I retired it. Where's the weed at? Its in my backpack but you cant touch that oohhhhh. Gets old. Music specifically about weed... exclusively... is unnecessary. Nothing wrong with a song or two but if that's your whole music gimmick, or if thats your life, I dunno... I respect the concept of smoking, growing, trimming, and distributing as a career and/or hobby, but try to have more going on top of that.
Mindless Self Indulgence - Still bring a smile to my face. I had to delete them from my computer not because I didn't like them anymore but because I basically felt too old to be listening to such childish stuff. But hell, gotta love their Tom Sawyer cover, and that Bring the Pain cover. And some of their originals are pretty cool. Frontman is a nutter though.
Static X/Wayne Static - Even gave his new solo album a chance and it wasn't bad. It's certainly for a teenage audience, more or less.
Hmm... That's all I can think of at the moment...
