Most kids were pushed into it by their moron ska parents LOL but I know way too many adults who watched the show as entire adults and still like it to this day
im pretty sure they went a festival near me and its a festival for adults and kids.
maybe its like the wiggles or something because i know adults go to see them for some fricking odd reason.
They weren't for kids before like 2011 iirc, it was like.... weird teenager shit. Like bullied highschooler.

Ska is supposed to be happy and upbeat. Every musician today is unfortunately an angry bitter Twitter brain who can't stop seething about white people
Maybe it'll come back when the quality of life improves
No Doubt started up as a ska band but flopped so badly that the founder (Gwen Stefanni's brother) ended up ragequitting the band and getting a day job working as an animation drone.
Tragic Kingdom only succeeded because the band under Gwen moved their sound towards radio friendly alt rock combined with them riding high the girl power wave that revived the alternative movement in 1995/1996 with Alanis Morrisette and Garbage. And they kept going, moving further and further away from ska with every following record.
(which in turn makes me love Shirley Manson more since she never sold out, even when David Geffin promised her the world if she would become an Annie Lennox clone singing ballads after Annie went into retirement).

Tragic Kingdom succeeded because it just happened to come out at the same time as the third wave ska movement and joined in on the ride. But their one not ska, radio friendly song on the album because the top hit so that made the direction the band took afterward.

It takes serious balls to follow their self titled and Version 2.0. with an album that was their complete sonic opposite. Not that is a bad thing, it is my favourite, but it was their first album not to succeed.

They were pretty open about that with the subject matter of the songs.
It was pretty much positive minded nerd escapism shit.
My issue is once they moved away from ska, they didn't really have much of a sound, it was just overproduced generic pop music with kind of funny lyrics.
I still think some of the Floating Eye of Death era songs are worth listening to though.
>maybe its like the wiggles
they did produce a kids show (Yo Gabba Gabba) and rebranded themselves towards kids after their teen-adult market didnt work out
Punk died because they were sellouts, yes.
Also because, just like ska, it died and stopped being genuine within like 20 years. At this point its just a trend..
That's why it died, but then the guys who made it salted the earth so nothing could ever grow again, and then they called the lichen that grew back fascist.
To this day I cringe at the trannies and larping zoomies with a thousand different clown patches on their jackets and pants

Your U.K. trannies are different from ours, from what I've seen. The pooners are very much the uber fujoshi type crossed with council house people, so most of what they'll consume is current American pop and a shit ton of anime.

Punk died because it was a bunch of angry dorks who wanted their genre to be small, insular, and totally closed off from new people and super elite, they give all newcomers the >Are you punk enough to wear that shirt?/Be at this show?/Have that piercing?
pop quiz, which usually consisted of Joe Strummer trivia.
Even the bigger punk bands fricking hated becoming mainstream, becoming rich and famous and having adoring fans. Pop punk was accessible to the masses that liked the sound. But that had it's time and petered out after a while like all genres.

Punk died because it was a genre that came and went with the main 5ish bands that launched it, and the 10-20 hangers on that followed them. Like all genres, it has a good 5 or so years and then people move on to other shit as the bands break up, get older, stop playing or are not new and amazing any more. Some other guy is the new and amazing thing.
But it looks like post 2014 or so band music in general mostly died. Or at least it's not approaching mainstream status or getting into movie theme gigs any longer. outside of smaller venues guitars are dying.

And you are a fake fan that did not belong there, we know.
Punk IMO is a mindset (and genre) about being true to yourself and your values whatever the frick they happen to be and whether or not society agrees with them. I'd argue that most punk bands aren't actually punk because they expect you to adhere to a given set of values and way of life (largely being some form of communist/socialist/anarchist) which is the least punk thing ever.
>Just like Jungle
This was the case about 8-10 years ago but there is now an active scene of good producers all regularly making tracks and a few good labels pushing their tunes. Artists like Kid Lib, Tim Reaper, Dwarde, Sherelle, Sync Dynamix, Phineus II, Response & Pliskin, Dead Man's Chest, Coco Bryce, Thugwidow, Eusebeia, Kloke, Refreshers and Special Request are making big tunes on labels like Green Bay Wax, Western Lore, Future Retro London, Hooversound, Good 2 Go DMR, Time Tunnel, Repertoire, Myor, 7th Storey Projects, Samurai Music and more.
Can't speak for French House as outside of Roule, Ed Banger, Crydamoure and big artists like Justice and Kavinsky I don't follow it as much.
N E ways, I saw the Aquabats live last year and once more before then. Good band. Made my mental moronation worse. I grew up with the show and Eaglebones (the one with the long hair) probably made me a homosexual.
We are not allowed to discuss a potential cartoon spinoff of Poppy Playtime at all on Cinemaphile but you gays can have an Aquabats thread? A goddamn ska band that has never had as much as an animated video? Just some live shit on the pony channel
but how is it different? PP Chapter 3 had a cartoon segment, that sparked some want for an actual cartoon. and apparently we are not allowed to discuss such a thing without Cinemaphile going bugfrick nuts over it and spamming a thread into 500+ posts to get rid of it.
I cannot see how that is strictly less Cinemaphile than Aquabats that had little animated bumpers in between scenes.
Because Aquabats has genuine fans that like to discuss things. Your infantile game bullshit is stupid zoomer shit that relies on attracting furries after a few miserable failures. Now go frick yourself and frick off back to (r)eddit where you belong homosexual

I loved the style and aesthetic of this show, but it always has this weird vibe of wanting to be for kids, but prioritizing with nostalgia and references kids actually watching the Hub probably wouldn't appreciate. Remember the episode where the villain is just Strong Bad from Homestar Runner? Or how they had that one Something Awful animator do cartoon segments right before he went completely insane?
He was an butthole to me to my face LMFAO. Also generally shit person. But he was attacked by twitter morons a couple years ago cuz his bisexual brother came out and said the MCBC was bigoted. Or whatever. It doesn't matter
for me it was the music was way better than most of the lead singers. Half of them were fricking amazingly talented bands with some butthole screeching with a rhaspy slurring drunk voice
Sometimes they were barely even singing like Suicidal Tendencies where the lead guy just got on stage and spouted all his problems about his dad like a fricking therapy session. Band was cool tho
PINCH and roll, but still, based Aqua cadet knowing the deep cuts. I wish I could find their cover of Doll Parts my cousin used to have on a cd. That shit was so fricking funny.
Aquabats always remind me of the weird era with Yo Gabba Gabba. The weirdest one was trying to be made by this group out of LA who were zombie chickens and it felt like GWAR for kids.
>group out of LA who were zombie chickens and it felt like GWAR for kids
Radioactive Chicken Heads. Some of their members used to live with some GWAR guys in a punk collective house in LA where they were all doing the costume/prop/puppetry type works. Also they both are connected to Ryan Hailey
Why the FRICK did this air on The Hub and why was it so fricking good? Like I can't imagine the target audience of the network's other shows even knowing who the frick these guys are.
>year of our lord 2024 >still new and old heavy metal bands from all around the world putting out great music >so much music i cant even keep track of it all

I'm not the person whining about being called out? I had to google he's from The Clash which I never listened to lol. I mostly like American punk bands
And you are a fake fan that did not belong there, we know.
Punk IMO is a mindset (and genre) about being true to yourself and your values whatever the frick they happen to be and whether or not society agrees with them. I'd argue that most punk bands aren't actually punk because they expect you to adhere to a given set of values and way of life (largely being some form of communist/socialist/anarchist) which is the least punk thing ever.
The Bosstones only just broke up like a year ago
The singer of the bosstones formed some supergroup with other guys who got kicked out of their bands cuz of being antivaxxer weirdos.
If only he'd killed the band before they did that cringe-inducingly tonedeaf BLM song
There is but its shitty woke moronic shit. Like JER and we are the union or whatever the frick. That Jer butthole needs a retwist.
Check out The Interrupters. The singer is a woman with a husky voice which pleases me.
Cory de la Mínguez is the last thing holding ska away from death. When he goes, it goes.
Jeff Rosenstock didn't put out four incredible albums for this
You have to really dig deep to find new Ska. But there has been some good stuff coming out from new bands and even some old bands.
[citation needed]
Just like French House, or Jungle. The ones that are alive are the old timers, and people playing around with old songs.
>Just like Jungle
This was the case about 8-10 years ago but there is now an active scene of good producers all regularly making tracks and a few good labels pushing their tunes. Artists like Kid Lib, Tim Reaper, Dwarde, Sherelle, Sync Dynamix, Phineus II, Response & Pliskin, Dead Man's Chest, Coco Bryce, Thugwidow, Eusebeia, Kloke, Refreshers and Special Request are making big tunes on labels like Green Bay Wax, Western Lore, Future Retro London, Hooversound, Good 2 Go DMR, Time Tunnel, Repertoire, Myor, 7th Storey Projects, Samurai Music and more.
Can't speak for French House as outside of Roule, Ed Banger, Crydamoure and big artists like Justice and Kavinsky I don't follow it as much.
thank you
I recognise these comps, they are South Korean which is pretty interesting, didn't think there was much of a D&B/Jungle scene there.
Where do you live?
England, so Jungle, Garage and D&B have been on TV and radio here since I was a kid in the 90s.
Ska is supposed to be happy and upbeat. Every musician today is unfortunately an angry bitter Twitter brain who can't stop seething about white people
Maybe it'll come back when the quality of life improves
>Every musician today is unfortunately an angry bitter Twitter brain who can't stop seething about white people
Don't project too hard.
Name 3 artists going right now that aren't political autists
I'll wait
Hatsune Miku, Gorillaz and Crazy Frog
>Gorillaz isn't political
LMMFAOOOOO
Crazy Frog is still a thing?
hey why not
Kanye West
Love the Aquabats. Saw em in concert a few times, fun shows.
I love them too... I have a sizeable collection of their stuff because I have actual brain damage. Ive got the supershow on DVD and everything.
My older sister loved these dudes and the adjacent groups but the ska stuff never licked for me. Appreciate them, at least.
I remember them. Aqua Teen Hunger Force.
N E ways, I saw the Aquabats live last year and once more before then. Good band. Made my mental moronation worse. I grew up with the show and Eaglebones (the one with the long hair) probably made me a homosexual.
>they got Shmorky to do a segment
He did it way before he was outed.
except he was a documented diaper furry even back in 2006
We are not allowed to discuss a potential cartoon spinoff of Poppy Playtime at all on Cinemaphile but you gays can have an Aquabats thread? A goddamn ska band that has never had as much as an animated video? Just some live shit on the pony channel
My brother in christ the aquabats have an entire cartoon
That's what you call the live show on hub?
it has cartoon segments
but how is it different? PP Chapter 3 had a cartoon segment, that sparked some want for an actual cartoon. and apparently we are not allowed to discuss such a thing without Cinemaphile going bugfrick nuts over it and spamming a thread into 500+ posts to get rid of it.
I cannot see how that is strictly less Cinemaphile than Aquabats that had little animated bumpers in between scenes.
Because Aquabats has genuine fans that like to discuss things. Your infantile game bullshit is stupid zoomer shit that relies on attracting furries after a few miserable failures. Now go frick yourself and frick off back to (r)eddit where you belong homosexual
>zoomer
Amerifat newbie who worships Black person wiener detected
Zoom zoom the frick out of here already, nobody fricking cares
We like Aquabats, it was a fun and entertaining show
We don't like Huggy Wuggy whatever the frick tiktok based slop zoomers pay attention to and never will
See the difference?
Poppy Playtime designs mostly suck.
Poppy herself and Catnap are cool, but none of the rest are.
Because frick off
seriously, Frick. Off.
Because no one cares about zoomerbait faux horror
Because you need to be 18+ to post on this website
Because the Aquabats was a real show not a fake hypothetical cartoon in some zoomerbait horror game
The frick is Poppy Playtime? Some kind toddler show?
>Seething zoomer homosexual
are you even old enough to be here? frick off
This animation from their youtube WAS made by Shmorky right?
YES LMFAO. So fricking funny
Now, what would a Cinemaphile themed ska album have on it?
the ska song about being superman.
im guessing this ? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MBNkG1XGK1Q
You can come up with anything, it doesn't have to be a real song that exists yet.
something really fricking gay
Not Cinemaphile themed per se but I guess it deserves an honorary mention

Fricking love that song.

The Wild Sea, Waterslides, Red Sweater, Radiation Song, Hot Summer Nights
In no particular order
Somewhere...
I loved the style and aesthetic of this show, but it always has this weird vibe of wanting to be for kids, but prioritizing with nostalgia and references kids actually watching the Hub probably wouldn't appreciate. Remember the episode where the villain is just Strong Bad from Homestar Runner? Or how they had that one Something Awful animator do cartoon segments right before he went completely insane?
>wanting to be for kids, but prioritizing nostalgia
Um, yeah, that's like the whole band at this point.
>fricks
Show the Aquabats some Goddamn respect.
My friend I am probably one of the biggest fans out there..... I respect them but not the singer guy LOL
Why not what did he do
He was an butthole to me to my face LMFAO. Also generally shit person. But he was attacked by twitter morons a couple years ago cuz his bisexual brother came out and said the MCBC was bigoted. Or whatever. It doesn't matter
Imagine getting shit on by MC Bat Commander
He's such a man baby ahahahaha. Gets mad for no big deal at all... I like Eaglebones more. He's really down to earth and sweet.
They've got a new album coming out. I'm excited.
Didnt they create yo gabba gabba
The thing about punk is that it's better as a style than it is a genre
Punk music fricking blows but the look is sexy
for me it was the music was way better than most of the lead singers. Half of them were fricking amazingly talented bands with some butthole screeching with a rhaspy slurring drunk voice
Sometimes they were barely even singing like Suicidal Tendencies where the lead guy just got on stage and spouted all his problems about his dad like a fricking therapy session. Band was cool tho
Cry about it.
I only remember this show because it had Strong Bad in for an entire episode. That's about it.
TWIST AND ROLL
TWIST AND ROLL
EVERYBODY YOU JUST
TWIST AND ROLL
TWIST AND ROLL
PINCH and roll, but still, based Aqua cadet knowing the deep cuts. I wish I could find their cover of Doll Parts my cousin used to have on a cd. That shit was so fricking funny.
Aquabats always remind me of the weird era with Yo Gabba Gabba. The weirdest one was trying to be made by this group out of LA who were zombie chickens and it felt like GWAR for kids.
>group out of LA who were zombie chickens and it felt like GWAR for kids
Radioactive Chicken Heads. Some of their members used to live with some GWAR guys in a punk collective house in LA where they were all doing the costume/prop/puppetry type works.
Also they both are connected to Ryan Hailey
I remember I saw them assembling at The Gong Show and I was convinced they'd become the modern Unknown Comic
I think Mega64 did some segments on this show, that makes it cool in my books
This show felt so weird, like if The Power Rangers went on a shortbus, I liked it.
Why the FRICK did this air on The Hub and why was it so fricking good? Like I can't imagine the target audience of the network's other shows even knowing who the frick these guys are.
I do. I fricking love The Aquabats. They need to hurry up and come back to Texas it’s been fricking years.
They Might Be Giants for Redditors
Aren't TMBG already a Reddit band?
also you're thinking of The Mountain Goats
Nah, The Mountain Goats are /our boys/ because of Moral Orel.
I am going to stab you in the eye with a foreign object
Reddit doesn't have a monopoly on bands
Ow, the edge.
They Might Be Giants are mostly for aging Gen Xers.
he's a shark fighter. he fights sharks. he fights em in the water, cause that's where they are.
their best song imo

Caca no es bueno
>people shitting on The Aquabats.
>People shitting on the TV show.
That TV had more fricking soul and production value than anything that came out in the past 15 years.
I had a childhood friend who had a hardcore libertarian family, and they fricking loved this show. It was so absurd to them.
can't believe they got motherfricking homestar runner on this shit
Wishful thinking.
The magic of just asking.
>year of our lord 2024
>still new and old heavy metal bands from all around the world putting out great music
>so much music i cant even keep track of it all
Found these guys the other day. From Portugal of all places, making one of the most kickass songs Ive heard all year.
