So I'd never heard Sonic Youth before until my friend and I were driving cross country thru Texas. We has been listening to some Hunter Thompson and getting really ripped on weed and ephedrine, cause back in the day you could just get handfuls at the register at any truck stop. He puts this album on. It's like the best thing I've ever heard in my life. This song comes and I notice a smoke on the horizon and as we start getting closer I notice a big motor home is smoking on the side of the road. And I swear to god just as this song hits the crescendo the fucking motor home explodes right in front of us. All we could do was drive thru it like some sort of WWII fighter pilot. Sonic Youth fan ever since.
With all the great bands of the era...Sonic Youth stands apart. Totally unique, totally mind blowing...total mastery of madness, distortion, and harmonic dissonance.

I was scrolling through the comments and was about to thumbs down your stupid, generic, and derivative post. Then, to my pleasure, I realized that I had already down voted this “joke” a year ago.
@@OSIRIS1980WHS First time I heard it, I was driving home from a day hike at Arches National Monument. I was working at Yellowstone National Park and we had a long night drive from Utah to Yellowstone. I put 'Goo' in because it had just come out and I wanted to be kept awake while everyone else in the car slept. When the screaming started on this one, everyone jumped up awake, thinking we were in a car crash.
I thought it's more than bi-polar, after my experience of regular illicit drug usage, then a decision to go unassisted cold turkey, this song states it..
Y así es la vida. Todo suena tan armónico que asumes que eso es normal, y que la vida es llevadera. Hasta que un día te toma por asalto lo inesperado. Lo imprevisto y lo insospechado. Y disfrutas esa sublime canción, aunque no esperabas ese final seco y satisfactorio.
Even as a DnB / Hiphop head I can say this is a banger.....including the screamed vox at the end....hell of a denouement! Could listen to the first 1m:35s on loop for ages!
The first time I heard this song was with headphones and when it started that riff going, I was really getting into it so I turned it up. Then about a minute and a half into it, I shit myself.
The video was published in 2009. It reached 1 million views at the end of 2019 and earned about 500,000 views from September 2019 till February 2020. TH-cam algorithms did a really great job.
My ex once said "it sounded like someone getting his feet ripped off!" lolololol ...she was a total psycho luny tune bitch, but that was an appropriate, if not perfectly fitting statement. haha
this song feels like a chilling alone during a quiet night and suddenly hearing footsteps run up to you violently and animalistically bashing and twisting your corpse as they howl their final shriek.
If you watch the trailer for the Australian musician Rowland S Howard in the documentary Autoluminescant , you'll see what Thurston Moore has to say about him. Look up Rowland's song Sleep Alone, it shows what sounds you can get with just a Jaguar and Fender twin reverb.
Kim never gets enough credit for her minimal bass playing. Nobody holds down a down-picked-8th-note-root-note quite like Kim. With a smoking killer tone to die for. Fuck yeah.
XD!!!La mejor banda del Post Punk de la Historia!!! Yo los descubri con "Evol" de 1986. Cambiaron mi forma de entender la musica.... Sonic Youth...AVE!!!!
Luis Rodríguez,como negar a Joy Division...???De hecho ellos lo inventaron todo,junto a PIL diría. Pero lo que hizo Sonic Youth,al otro lado del Atlántico es simplemente magistral.Te sugiero escuchar sus primeros discos como "Evol" o "Sister".De hecho Nirvana eran sus teloneros.Saludos.
Ernesto Toccalino es correcto. He oído gente que fue a sus concierto acá de donde yo soy y vivo (Las Vegas Nevada USA) en 1990 y los de nirvana fueron abucheados un par de veces.
This song is the equivalent of listening to Nirvana’s Nevermind for the first time and having Something in the Way finish up only for your ears to be assaulted four minutes later with Endless, Nameless out of nowhere.

Not gonna lie, the ending is disappointing because this could have been a phenomenonal song, but it's so fucking funny at the same time that it makes it kinda worth it.

That was my expectation. Never laughed so hard at myself when the song concluded. I was so stoked for typical song structure THEN WHAM.
this is the coolest song and video of the 90s
The beginning of this song is so cool. Well, the whole song is cool.

LOL, What time period does this belong in? SY may be pretentious wanks, but their sound stands alone, nothing else like it.
Nah, this sounds like and 80s punk song, but it did give a unique vibe.
IT BROKE NEW GROUND
This sounds a lot like the Wipers early stuff (except for the screaming part) - that was the early 80's.
best music video of all time
such a masterpiece
I love sonic youth but I'm hearing this for the first time now
my favourite is still shaking hell
From grunge to black what a pretty art piece
definitely one of my top sonic youth songs
My favorite song from SY.
Dude i started laughing hysterically at the screaming transition it was so unexpected
I wish this was longer could listen to this forever

This song is the equivalent to hysteria or a psychotic episode.
