As Bring Me The Horizon prep themselves for another bout of evolving progression, older demographics look at their crowning successes in the hope of attaining the same thing. In 2018 – for heavy music at least – we seem to be in a period where That’s The Spirit’s influences echo louder now than they ever have before. For the remainder of those years, music lovers are subjected to an endless sea of bands and artists imitating their contemporaries. And you know, as great as the shake-ups are, they only tend to happen a handful of times every decade. If a band has an able skill set they’ll implement these elements into their sound organically – rejuvenating themselves and continuing on to fight another day – or they’ll be the one in a million band that takes the threadbare tropes and subverts them into making a seminal shake-up for the scene. You see, the real trick to longevity in this game is staying in the loop with popular trends. But the hysterical irony here is seeing Grampa’s words yelling the same thing to bands that have been doing this awhile groups that are too stubborn to call it a day and end gracefully. As I get older I find this quote’s genius shouting louder to me, watching as it burrows itself into the very fabric of day-to-day life.

This might not be the most sophisticated of quotes, but it’s one that has haunted my subconscious for the better part of 22 years from when the episode first aired. Now what I’m with isn’t ‘it’ anymore and what’s ‘it’ seems weird and scary. “I used to be with ‘it’, but then they changed what ‘it’ was. Review Summary: Generation X, Generation Strange, sun don't even shine through our window pane.
