I’m an ex gang member who only listened to gangster rap back in 1998. I can remember coming home around 2AM and this video was on MTV and I was absolutely mesmerized. It changed my life about the conformity of music. Listening to this song for the first time felt like a prison break. I immediately bought the album and read the manifesto and lyrics inside. I have a twenty three year old daughter who just recently bought me the vinyl album for my 46th Birthday. The Shape Of Punk To Come is a masterpiece.
Ha. Class story man. I'm a total rocker but one day I came home, switched on the idiot-box and there...in all their glory were Mobb Deep rapping Burn and I've been hooked ever since....own most of their albums including Prodigys autobiography.. they led me to Big L, KRS, MOP & Krumbsnatcha...Nas, Meth and Red, Souls of Mischief, Madchild, even Common.
My eighth grade writing teacher gave me this album because I mentioned I like punk. He did more for my musical and political education than anything I can think of. Amazing teacher forever grateful.
You know what’s funny? I was just thinking as I put this song on and was waiting for the opening lyrics, that his style of singing in the first 30 seconds, reminds me a lot of Mick Jagger in Satisfaction. Just heavier.
I waited SOOOO long watching that show for it to finally hit the "CAN III SCREAAAM!!!". They do the beginning part so much in the show before they actually drop it, it's amazing.
Omg now I want to run around the streets and do exactly that So BADLY !. I almost forgot my musical roots. Left some of them on lower boards. Hear the first ten seconds and know I know this like my breathing and I have to jump ,but need 10minutes to get the title. How could I let that happen? But getting on track again.
I think the first time I heard this was in the movie adaption of Friday Night Lights. My mind was blown then and still is by this masterpiece that has withstood time. Then watching the Bear I hear it again. Boom!
this came out when i was 23, I'm 44 now and still have to physically restrain myself from leaping on the desk and trashing everything in arms reach in work when the breakdown kicks in. what sort off talent does it take to leave a legacy like this behind for well over a decade and then come back just as strong and do it all again...? heroes to a man, in my mind.
I just put it on 11, then drank a 4 pack of 4 Loco and set my patio furniture on fire while beating it with a baseball bat at 4 in the morning. Happy birthday America!!
Hearing this amazing song in the triangle of sadness brought back some serious nostalgia. Saw Refused about 10 years ago, when I was like 16. The kind of sublime and chaotic energy this track brings is quite well done in the movie though. It really fits the scene.
I'm a death/black metal guy usually, but when I hear this song in a club, there is no holding back. It's all about the constant energy level and build up phases... and the eruptions! Awesome song! I'm going to keep wrecking places up with this!
Same here man it’s my been my go to “pissed off” song for sometime now and it just never gets old.. That scream is my all time favorite in all of rock music to and probably always will be.
The raw energy in the intro and the whole song in general is mindblowing!! Feel so fortunate to have experienced them live! Nearly broke my neck headbanging!!
Back when this came out, I was only listening to the music that was coming from the "Epitaph, Fat Wreck, Burning Heart"-corner of the punk scene... Since then I left most of that music behind and only listen to it occassionally for nostalgia-reasons. Refused is one of the exceptions though - that music will never get old, it will never get boring, there is still so much discover in that one album (the others are great as well though). I'll never be done with Refused.
@@unomas4250 maybe under-appreciated, or at least under-publicized because many people havent heard of these guys until much later, myself included. I know quite an extensive punk history (not so much modern hardcore) so im really surprised its taken me this long to find them!
I can't tell you enough at 39 years old how much these guys paved the way for all of the hardcore/screamo/metalcore stuff I loved for a decade, and still do. Nordic countries always go the hardest.
I watched you try to play your set in Kings Cross, London in 1996 despite the fact that your eye was bust wide open and you clearly needed stitches. You played so hard to the fifty people who turned up and you went on to create a movement and a dance and a style and a swag and you CHANGED THE WORLD Dennis & David. Your contribution to humanity has not gone unnoticed.
One of the best punk albums of all time. Refused deserve infinitely more credit than they get. Half the bands that got rich in the early 2000s were just biting Refused.
Idk if you’d exactly call this “Punk” if anything I’d say this song(not necessarily the band but song) would be considered more so along the lines of Alternative Rock Or Metal. Punk is more along the lines of The Ramones, Sex Pistols, and more modern Punk would’ve at the time been like more like that of Green Day or something. And idk about you but I’ve heard a lot of Green Day in my day and this was hardly anything like the Green Day I’d heard then.
Wow, I absolutely completely forgot about this song and band. Still sounds as fresh as when I first heard this probably early 00’s. And it came out in 1998....? Wow, these guys were true pioneers.
First discovered them when playing Tony Hawk Underground and when this song played I instantly was hooked on the band The Shape Of Punk To Come is truly revolutionary
Always loved this song, but I recently started "The Bear" (highly recommend) and hearing this song throughout the series got me way more hyped than I need to be sitting on the couch
Sweden churns out incredible bands in a wide spectrum of genres.. from The Hives, Refused, Meshuggah, Opeth, to The Cardigans, Blindside, Marduk, and In Flames ! (just some of the ones i can remember)
They're actually just really late to everything and end up throwing ideas developed everywhere else into a homogenous product. This song, for example, really doesn't develop any sound further; it just amalgamates a whole bunch of sounds and styles developed elsewhere. There's groove metal chugging and jazzy-emoey staccato guitar stuff from the States. There's African and Afro-Carribean beats on the drums. There's moogey trip hop/drum and bass type interludes that sound straight from Britain. There's the vocals, which are English. So, really, they're kind of last to everything. What here is distinctly Swedish?
@@meattray6932 That's how new innovative sounds usually are born my friend.. You clearly know zero songwriters and/or never read much about the process majority of innovative/good songwriters use to create most of their tunes. Usually they twist a riff or modify a hook until it is something new and interesting. Unrecognizable as influenced from the source material in most cases, at least unless it's meant to be an friggin homage:) Refused influenced just about every major punk act for a decade after this record was released, and the ones they influenced usually named them as major influence. Obvious to anyone that knows the punk of the era that this record was innovative. They are from a small northern city where the other big name is Meshuggah, google their influence on post-80s metal/heavy msic and you'll see that few can rival their influence on multiple genres/subgenres. Sweden has quite a few bands early in domestic scenes that originated new sounds/subgenres in metal and pop primarily but other less notable examples exist in several other genres. There's also a shitload of bands that aren't before their time or innovative, but if they suceed domestically they usually hold a high quality or is distinct in some way at least. The Swedish track record in music of multiple genres is obvious to anyone that bothers to Google about shit instead of spouting their ignorance. Hell, the first Swedish international sucess was ABBA and they were unique then and are still popular to this day. Sweden is the only country other than USA and the UK to export more music than it imports. It has surpassed the UK and taken #2 in many metrics.
Love this song! I always wondered what these guys looked like. I pictured leather jackets, torn jeans, spiky hair, tats, piercings and the like. Instead they look like they just left prep school and walked into the studio. Awesome!
I had the cd sticker from when I opened it with the name on it right above my car stereo for years, this whole album was everything to me when it came out. I cannot tell you how many bands were changed by this album. ❤
This song has this revolutionary message. WE NEED A NEW NOISE. New language, more raw, more grounded and more authentic with insane amount of emotional intensity. This song truly feels like a prison break.
I discovered this album looking in Bordeaux Virgin Megastore in '97, I saw the cover, it inspired me, red the title, I was hooked, I did a quick preview listening in the shop, each intro were bangers, I bought it, loved it at first sight and... The band was over... This album is MYTHIC !
Oh wow. How is the first time I've watched the video?! I was in bands in the late 90s/early 00s. I'll never forget being played this for the first time in the early 00s. In a post-Thursday landscape, maybe 2002 - and being blown away that this music went back to 98. It was what we all wanted to sound like but I remember being so blown away by how 'old' it was. I had no idea until now THAT THEY FUCKING LOOKED LIKE THURSDAY TOO. Wow. What an incredible moment of foresight - AND WHAT A SONG! The name of the record has tickled me since I first heard about it, and 20 something years later it makes me laugh even harder that they had the look down too. What a band. What incredible self confidence.
Lyrics: Can I scream? Yeah! We lack the motion to move to the new beat We lack the motion to move to the new beat It's here for us to admire if we can afford the beauty of it Can afford the luxury of turning our heads Adjust that thousand dollars smile and behold the creation of man Great words won't cover ugly actions - good frames won't save bad paintings We lack the motion to move to the new beat. Yeah! We lack... motion When the day is over - Hey! - the doors are locked on us Money buys the access - and we can't pay the cost And how can we expect anyone to listen if we are using the same old voice? We need new noise - new art for the real people We dance to all the wrong songs We enjoy all the wrong moves We dance to all the wrong songs We're not leading We dance to all the wrong songs We enjoy all the wrong moves We dance to all the wrong songs We're not, we're not, we're not, we're not, we're not, we're not... Leading We dance - all the wrong songs We enjoy - all the wrong moves We dance - all the wrong songs We dance - all the wrong songs We enjoy - all the wrong moves We dance - all the wrong songs Here we go! We dance to all the wrong songs We enjoy all the wrong moves We dance to all the wrong songs We're not leading. Yeah! Yeah! Yeah! The new beat! The new beat! The new beat! The new beat! The new beat! The new beat! The new beat! The new beat! The new beat! The new beat! The new beat! The new beat! The new beat! The new beat! The new beat! The new beat! Thank you.
I remember when this came out and I went and bought the album straight away and it remains one of my perennial favorites. Hasn't aged at all. Over 20 years ago and it hasn't aged a bit. Amazing. The International Noise Conspiracy were pretty damn cool too
I was a new drummer in the 90s when my friend showed me some Refused. Then I deep dived into other great Swedish music, In Flames, Dark Tranquility, Opeth, Dissection, Amon Amarth. Yeah, never looked back. Drumming greatly improved listening to these dudes
Goosebumps and shivers. I always need a moment of silence to gather myself and to not get lost in thoughts and memories. Wow. In my book, this one's for the ages.
This song and this video are some of the most influential things ever In music. From the sound to their haircut, bands would draw influence from this for a decade and spawn a whole new scene.
Loved this tune back when it always came on in the rock clubs. Love how 20 years later people are still yalking about the song from its use in The Bear and people talking about the band due to Cyberpunk 2077
One of my favorite concert memories is seeing these guys open for deftones at festival pier in philly and he jumped into the pit with us to sing this song we all went fucking nuts and the pit doubled in size instantly. Only lead singer I’ve ever crashed into multiple times and had him put his arm around me and jump in unison with the crowd for the last part of the song
Discovered Refused a year ago or so when i first heard chippin in, totally loved it, did a bit of searching and found refused, been a huge fan since and i gotta admit, sweden is feeding good bands to world!
Me and my dad have been trying to find this music video for ages, and we just randomly stumbled upon it through a beard meets food video. Brilliant video, killer song.
I think Fugazi's Red Medicine,Godflesh's Songs of Love and Hate and Bowie's Earthlings were a bit earlier but tbh I still don't know any close to this in punk rock music
It's hard to tell how old this song is, it sounds like it could've come out today. It feels timeless to my ear, but maybe that's too early to say. A shame I didn't know about them in 98 when I was 15, I could've gone down a very different path..
I don't know if it changed my life path, I guess not, BUT, it's one of the best album ever, a slap in my face when I bought it in 97, it's one of THOSE albums on the top, with Dark Side Of The Moon, Tommy, Mellon collie and the infinite sadness, Metropolis part 2. Scenes from memory, Punk In Drublic, Ill communication, Rage Against The Machine, etc.
This is still a blinder of a song from 1998 to today.... as is the video. It hits exactly how it should and where it should... this song is still the future despite being from the past now.
These guys were completely ahead of their time. That riff is phenomenal.
Fugazi called.....they want their ideas back
Like 58 years ahead I think
The year 2077
The riff sounds similar to Judas Priest - A Touch of Evil (1990), isn't it?

I discovered this album looking in Bordeaux Virgin Megastore in '97, I saw the cover, it inspired me, red the title, I was hooked, I did a quick preview listening in the shop, each intro were bangers, I bought it, loved it at first sight and... The band was over...
This album is MYTHIC !
I came back to this song after listening to it watching Triangle of Sadness... something tells me this vibe will resurrect very shortly, hope so
The slayer loves this song.
gotta love their use of ambient breaks, that typa genre fusion keeps it sounding fresh even in 2023
I used to listen to this song before my football games all the time. It never got old and always pumped us up as a team. Still listening in 2024!!
This is a criminally underrated band. Holy fucking shit.
1:07 - Single greatest moment in 90's rock music.
GET ICECREAM!!!

Thank you, chef.
Corner!
Estamos bem Chef?!
Oh wow. How is the first time I've watched the video?! I was in bands in the late 90s/early 00s. I'll never forget being played this for the first time in the early 00s. In a post-Thursday landscape, maybe 2002 - and being blown away that this music went back to 98. It was what we all wanted to sound like but I remember being so blown away by how 'old' it was. I had no idea until now THAT THEY FUCKING LOOKED LIKE THURSDAY TOO. Wow. What an incredible moment of foresight - AND WHAT A SONG! The name of the record has tickled me since I first heard about it, and 20 something years later it makes me laugh even harder that they had the look down too. What a band. What incredible self confidence.
So insane how the shape of punk came out in 1998. Thats 24 years and bands today still havent caught up to the wave. Absolutely ahead of their time.
Lyrics:
Can I scream? Yeah!
We lack the motion to move to the new beat
We lack the motion to move to the new beat
It's here for us to admire if we can afford the beauty of it
Can afford the luxury of turning our heads
Adjust that thousand dollars smile and behold the creation of man
Great words won't cover ugly actions - good frames won't save bad paintings
We lack the motion to move to the new beat. Yeah!
We lack... motion
When the day is over - Hey! - the doors are locked on us
Money buys the access - and we can't pay the cost
And how can we expect anyone to listen if we are using the same old voice?
We need new noise - new art for the real people
We dance to all the wrong songs
We enjoy all the wrong moves
We dance to all the wrong songs
We're not leading
We dance to all the wrong songs
We enjoy all the wrong moves
We dance to all the wrong songs
We're not, we're not, we're not, we're not, we're not, we're not...
Leading
We dance - all the wrong songs
We enjoy - all the wrong moves
We dance - all the wrong songs
We dance - all the wrong songs
We enjoy - all the wrong moves
We dance - all the wrong songs
Here we go!
We dance to all the wrong songs
We enjoy all the wrong moves
We dance to all the wrong songs
We're not leading. Yeah! Yeah! Yeah!
The new beat! The new beat! The new beat! The new beat!
The new beat! The new beat! The new beat! The new beat!
The new beat! The new beat! The new beat! The new beat!
The new beat! The new beat! The new beat! The new beat!
Thank you.
You've just nouce roled us
Oh shit, that line is "money buys the access"? I always thought it was _money buys the assholes!_
Think I like mine better.
Awesomeness 👌 woooooooo
"Jar Jar Binks!" Is what we screamed in the club instead of "The new beat!" 🤣
The new beat? I thought it was "Barns open"
Late 90s gave us so many unique music and this one of them
Kudos for this getting played at the 2024 Emmys!
I just discovered this band and I fall in love. I love this sounds that’s between punk and metal. Already bought 3 albums!!
I remember when this came out and I went and bought the album straight away and it remains one of my perennial favorites. Hasn't aged at all. Over 20 years ago and it hasn't aged a bit. Amazing. The International Noise Conspiracy were pretty damn cool too
IMHO, the album was way ahead of its time. Perfect
I was a new drummer in the 90s when my friend showed me some Refused. Then I deep dived into other great Swedish music, In Flames, Dark Tranquility, Opeth, Dissection, Amon Amarth.
Yeah, never looked back. Drumming greatly improved listening to these dudes
Last band I watched live before pandemic started (February 22, 2020 at Brooklyn Steel) … absolutely beautiful show 🤗🤗🤗🤗
Goosebumps and shivers. I always need a moment of silence to gather myself and to not get lost in thoughts and memories. Wow. In my book, this one's for the ages.
This song and this video are some of the most influential things ever In music. From the sound to their haircut, bands would draw influence from this for a decade and spawn a whole new scene.
yeah just like renaissance fesgtival type of thing I think
THEY'RE BACK! FREEDOM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Loved this tune back when it always came on in the rock clubs. Love how 20 years later people are still yalking about the song from its use in The Bear and people talking about the band due to Cyberpunk 2077
Refused and Deftones shaped the entire rock-sphere of the early and mid 2000s
Refused and Helmet
One of my favorite concert memories is seeing these guys open for deftones at festival pier in philly and he jumped into the pit with us to sing this song we all went fucking nuts and the pit doubled in size instantly. Only lead singer I’ve ever crashed into multiple times and had him put his arm around me and jump in unison with the crowd for the last part of the song
I actually liked this song when it came out Punk'o Rama brought me here. Doom hit me with nostalgia by playing this...clever marketing move imo
Roddric Cabigas free compilation VHS with a CD purchased for me XD
My buddy Pete introduced me to this band. I’m glad they end the song saying “thank you Pete”
Don't recall ever hearing these guys before. Where have I been,where have they been,what's going on.
I love their energy,great music.
ikr this is proper good
Discovered Refused a year ago or so when i first heard chippin in, totally loved it, did a bit of searching and found refused, been a huge fan since and i gotta admit, sweden is feeding good bands to world!
It's been nearly 25 years, yet this song is still ahead of our times. We still dance to all the wrong songs and enjoy all the wrong moves.
I first heard it in 2005 and thought it was a new song. I only found out today the band started in the early 90s.
@@fractalign early 90 refused and late 90 refused was not the same
I'm dancing on Turnstile now, I think we're not that wrong.
Still sounds fresh AF
49 and still listening
Boy am I glad they are a real band.
come here because Doom, 3 years ago, and now came back again because Cyberpunk 2077! AND STILL BANGING MY TABBLE LIKE MAD MAN !
Same xD
Niceee
Here cus of cyberpunk but i didnt know they did anything with Doom! What'd they do? Both games are fuckin sick
@@metalgearkirby9427 They add its beat in their live action trailer
This song never gets old
I remember when my best friend introduced me to this band’s music back in 1998 I believe. I was 18 then and this band still gives me the chills .
Underrated, misunderstood, influential... classic.
I recorded this on VHS and used to clean my room and rock out to this gem back in the day! BRILLIANT piece of work.
Triangle of sadness brought me back to this amazing song
Same
Same^2
Metal Hammer CD...1998, thanks Doom for bring this one back!
Me and my dad have been trying to find this music video for ages, and we just randomly stumbled upon it through a beard meets food video.
Brilliant video, killer song.
Some stuff still hits as hard as the first time you heard it. This is an example of mastery of a genre.
This was/is such a great album. Definitely influenced the whole scene. Still good almost twenty years later.
Almost? 25 years now
Mini-album
I think Fugazi's Red Medicine,Godflesh's Songs of Love and Hate and Bowie's Earthlings were a bit earlier but tbh I still don't know any close to this in punk rock music
Just popped up on The Bear. I knew I recognized it from somewhere.
It's hard to tell how old this song is, it sounds like it could've come out today. It feels timeless to my ear, but maybe that's too early to say.
A shame I didn't know about them in 98 when I was 15, I could've gone down a very different path..
I don't know if it changed my life path, I guess not, BUT, it's one of the best album ever, a slap in my face when I bought it in 97, it's one of THOSE albums on the top, with Dark Side Of The Moon, Tommy, Mellon collie and the infinite sadness, Metropolis part 2. Scenes from memory, Punk In Drublic, Ill communication, Rage Against The Machine, etc.
I also like how he does the Ric Flair WOO!
This is still a blinder of a song from 1998 to today.... as is the video. It hits exactly how it should and where it should... this song is still the future despite being from the past now.
I'm from the future in the year 2077, still listening to this masterpiece
How have I never heard of this band?? Which one of you omitted to tell me!? Was it you, John? Damnit John, I trusted you! YOU HAD ONE JOB, JOHN!
Singing/screamin at the top of his lungs while hanging upside down with the rest of the band jamming wide open. Gotta love it! Long live rock!
Damn. I played along to this banger on the drums for hours and hours. So much fun. Such an inspiring tune. 🔥🤘🏽
Punk-O-Rama Vol. 1 brought me here... way back in the day.
My friend has the cd too haha, found some cool bands on there
An album that is very underrated... Punk to where music was going to progress.
