What college do you go to, Goggles? About an hour ago in my PA college I was in a dorm and people had been discussing Dave Matthews and OAR.

Weird... just a coincidence then, but weird nonetheless.

Re: Post stereotypical college kid music.

Re: Post stereotypical college kid music.
 

I'm pretty sure the average college kid has never heard any pink floyd.

Re: Post stereotypical college kid music.

Re: Post stereotypical college kid music.
 

how has no one said Widespread Panic yet?

oh, and facebook has a nifty little feature called 'the pulse' which makes charts based on what people put in there interests. so, according to facebook, the 10 most popular bands in all of collegedom:

1. Jack Johnson
2. Coldplay
3. DMB
4. The Beatles
5. Green Day
6. Led Zepplin
7. The Killers
8. Fall Out Boy
9. Red Hot Chili Peppers
10. Sublime

for this list, here's what I have concluded:
college kids like to smoke pot.

Re: Post stereotypical college kid music.
 

All,

it seems that there are two kinds of stereotypical college student. First, there's the-probably much more prominent in the 90's-hipster type wannabe who is inclined to listen to DMB , Jack Johnson and stuff like that. Then there's the "average" kid of today who is probably more in FallOut Boy, OAR, and whatever leans/is popular at the time.

Re: Post stereotypical college kid music.
 

There is also some older music that was once enjoyable, but has been beaten to death by college students. Songs like Sweet Home Alabama and many of Journey's tunes just don't do it for me any longer . . .

Come to Northwestern and take a straw poll. I'm sure many have heard of them, but probably a small percentage can name more than 1 or 2 songs.

Don't get me wrong; I'm a huge fan, but the average student isn't.

Re: Post stereotypical college kid music.
 

how can the OP say radiohead is bad music?

Re: Post stereotypical college kid music.
 

Well I'm in college and what I hear the most is. . . .


1. Air
2. Daft Punk
3. Radiohead
4. Some random Brooklyn 4 guys in ties sorta thing.
5. John Legend
6. Joanna Newsom
7. Kings of Convenience

For what it's worth, I've been in college for 4 years and I hate DMB and OAR.

Re: Post stereotypical college kid music.
 

My top 5 (not sorted):
Aerosmith
Genesis
ELO
U2
Billy Joel

The bands I hear the most around campus:
FallOut Boy
OAR
DeathCab
Radiohead
DMB
80s pop like Journey and Foreigner

I've maintained that top 5 since high school. Unfortunately, a lot of 70s and 80s hits were ruined for me once everyone in my dorm had downloaded them. I remember playing drunk poker one weeknight and Freebird comes on. After a few chords, this one guy (not drunk) who has listened to nothing but metal before college proclaims "Guys, this is an awesome song," as if the song was an unfamiliar novelty. I shook my head in disbelief, and am doomed to remember this trivial shock every time I hear Skynyrd.

At least my favorite Journey song - Escape - is not a popular one by radio standards.

Re: Post stereotypical college kid music.
 

Your top 5 makes me want to throw a brick in your face.

Re: Post stereotypical college kid music.

I hate them for their abbreviated name alone.

Re: Post stereotypical college kid music.
 

They're from MD but have recently gone more mainstream. So yeah, more East Coasty, but I'm in Texas and everyone knows them here too.

Last night the people two floors above me were playing Blink 182 rather loudly. At 2AM.

If I had external speakers for this laptop I'd have stuck them out my window and blasted Slayer - Exile back at them...



Even though some things are better left unsaid
There's a few things I need to get off my chest
I need to vent - let me tell you why

I'm suicidal, maniacal, self-destructive
You leave me no hope, no life
Nothing worth living for
I've taken it, can't take it anymore
My worst nightmare
You make me want to slit my own [censored] throat
Just so I'll be rid of you
Just to get rid of you

You self-righteous [censored]
Give me a reason not to rip your [censored] face off
Why don't you take a good look in these eyes
Cause I'm the one that's gonna tear your [censored] heart
out
My hate is contagious; you've got no one to run to
EXILE

Just tell me [censored] why everything becomes an issue
Your opinion is always senseless - [censored] this
You make my [censored] skin crawl
I've lived with it - can't stand anymore
My worst nightmare
I want to take a bullet in the [censored] head
Every time I think of you, every time I think of you

You self-righteous [censored]
Give me a reason not to rip your [censored] face off
Why don't you take a good look in these eyes
Cause I'm the one that's gonna tear your [censored] heart
out
My hate is contagious
Anyone else need to vent?
You've tried my tolerance; I just want you to die

There's nothing more for me to say
There's nothing more for you to say
There's nothing more for us to say
I [censored] hate you anyway
EXILE

Can't count the ways that you light my [censored] fuse
I can't tolerate the sight of you, the thought of you or
anything about you
You know what I want to see?
How many ways can a loser [censored] lose
I know you'll find a way
The humility awakening the idiot inside
You spineless [censored] maggot - you're just wasting my
time
Get out of my face - Get out of my life
Out of my [censored] way - Just die

Re: Post stereotypical college kid music.
 

Dude, trust me. OAR is from Maryland. I know a guy whose cousin is a guitarist, and on a couple of the songs on the live CD (yes, I'll admit it, I used to own it) they make shout-outs to MD.

Just checked wikipedia and they're from Rockville and they were playing as a foursome in HS, all went to OSU I guess, added a fifth, and released a CD.

Right, I knew they grew up in Maryland. They formed the band and released their first cd while they were students at OSU.
