Not a hipster song. It's about repeating the same self-destructive cycle over and over, and realizing "it's been awhile" since he was whole.
I agree, not hipster, unless REM could be hipster.. yeah, still not hipster.
Every Staind video Ive ever seen the dude has this look on his face like his puppy just died
Agreed it’s called post grunge or aka nu metal
WRONG! This is about the lament of someone who just keeps doing it to themselves even though they know better.
@@Lemon-rk9hq Is it even that I'd just call it alternative rock
This style of music is actually called Post-Grunge. Nickelback,Creed, Puddle of Mudd, Matchbox 20, Three Doors Down etc... all fit under this genre.
Definitely not hipster music. Love this song, maybe because I was married to someone who was addicted. So poignant, so meaningful, so full of honest vulnerability...
It was definitely part of the nu metal genre back then
@@opethdan2408 definitely IS hipster-ish vibes
This band reminds me of all those other bands that came with the NU metal wave.
Ill Nino
Lost Prophets
POD
Seether
Flyleaf?
Guano Apes
Rise Against
What am I missing?
@@ellie.v9765 hipsters are happy and upbeat. Staind is more depressive and sad emo/angst ish type of feel with downtuned guitars. They were literally part of the 1999 and up nu metal scene. I know because I followed them back from the beginning.
@@KevinHwoarang I agree. I only love it because of the lyrics and personal meaning for me.
This man is unbelievable. His voice just sinks me in. Band or no band. He is awesome.
Lol, he is known for being a serious jerk.
@@bigboycombo6342 everyone has their opinion
@@bigboycombo6342 isn't he a really right wing nut job country singer now?
@@antichristian74 Right wing nut job? Oh antichristian, now that makes sense. Trump 2024, cheers from Australia.
@@antichristian74 Your name speaks volumes !🙄 Keep cryin'!
The ultimate self reflection song for those that have made mistakes in life…basically all of us. And for all those who stand by those that have made mistakes….
Hipster?? Don't let Aaron hear you say that. 😂 Love yall
This hit me hard as an addict back then. Captured some self hate and shame
I understand what your saying
Stay on the good path my friend.
Hope you're still sober and strong random stranger ❤
This is one of my favorite rock songs of all time and I'm a 52 year old black man. I'd like to say Hello and that I've enjoyed your channel for a long time. Keep up the great work!
Have you checked out Breaking Benjamin?
I love staind and I'm a 52 year old white man from England and you two are great
Great band. Their music has a good range, from this mood, to something heavy like their song Mudshovel. You guys are gonna like them as you dive more into their music. You guys are awesome btw.
Mudshovel is good! They’re awesome live too!
Monique Housdon, I just saw them live with Korn, back in September. Awesome show.
This song was HUGE in 2001 when it came out! It was on heavy rotation on the radio and MTV! I loved it but they definitely wore it out!
You guys should check out the song "Outside" by Staind live with Fred Durst of Limp Bizkit. That song is amazing!
Yessssssss!!!!!!!!!!
I love that version except for the one or two moments when Fred Durst yells something to the crowd after the chorus. I can’t remember what he yells but it feels so out of place during a beautiful song like Outside.
@@markgoguen8698 Well, ya know, if *anyone* could find a way to f*k up a perfectly good song, it'd be Fred Durst.
@@markgoguen8698 Exactly. Every time my inner voice screams for him to STFU.
@@markgoguen8698 oh is that Fred that shouts that lol didn't know but it's still irritates me also .. can't even remember what he shouts now
This was a song that came out just before the Holy Trinity delivered me from my addictions and sins. The song quickly became something that I would direct towards Him.
Praise God! It's a jam.
Blessings to you
Staind has always spoken to my soul. They're timeless.
❤
I called this a recovery song. He’s been through some stuff and he’s finally getting it I think. This is one of the songs that you should watch the video because the visual helps tell the story as well.
It sure is a Recovery Song. I'm 29 months clean now.
✌♥️
@@barte3822 Good for you!!! I know it’s not easy. I’m so happy for you sweetie.
@@barte3822 Congrats!💕
@@barbaravance6774 Thank you. I appreciate the shout out.
✌♥️
@Bart E No problem my friend!
This is a great song to sing in the car and really feel it.
Yeah, this one's a ticket.
Yep. They have a few. Been getting down to “nothing left to say” lately.
I love this song and can relate, I went through s 15 year addiction to opioids and am clean and healthy now, but the way you feel about yourself while dealing with wanting to quit but just keep falling back into it can be very self loathing...
man...you ain't LYING.
So glad you’re doing well!
I’ve had a crippling porn addiction and masturbation addiction since I was 12 and it’s caused me to make some very poor decisions in my life that I regret to this day and wish that I could take it all back and I want to kick this habit because that stuff doesn’t really bring me happiness or excitement anymore and I just find myself self loathing and I know that it’s hurting my health in someway shape or form but it seems like no matter what I do be it therapy or having somebody be my accountability partner I haven’t found someone who will stick with it and asked me multiple times a week if I’ve slipped up it’s a very aggravating numbing situation but I also know that I’m not alone because I know many others deal with the same problem but I also want to kick this habit because I don’t want it to ruin my life
...seems to be a lot of addicts(former) on this channel, myself included, stay strong brother
Staind/Aaron Lewis is the perfect band for Brad. And another rare occasion where Lex is somewhat wrong in her analysis.
as long as you never hear him speak roflmao
Totally agree
@randi carrier I said "rare"
It's true brad gets it.
I love this song! I just can’t get enough of it
Staind is more on the grunge side of alt rock than indie rock-- which is what y'all probably mean by hipster music. I recommend the mudshovel album for more of their songs!
As a recovering addict I love this song. It hits home in a very real way
Cool song. Also Staind is more on the post-grunge with a country music style vibe. Like Nickleback, Puddle of Mudd groups like that. '90s, '00s, '00s. So it is an evolution of grunge.
Hipsters? Those grungy heavy distorted guitars might scare them away . lol. They may listen to this as guilty pleasure. But, you'll most likely find them listening to Indie rock, jazzy Alternative hip hop, jazzy music, folk music, soft acoustic music or light distorted guitar indie rock, alternative music, electronic sounding dance music. Eating organic food at a park somewhere next to their bikes or colorful vehicle. Enjoying a coffee latte, pretzels, sandwich at Starbucks reading books or on their tablets. . Or buying things at a thrift store. They are a happy bunch and loves peace. All of this is almost the opposite of grunge/post grunge lol. You'll most likely find a hipster who loves indie rock /pop stuff like Modest Mouse, Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeros, Capital Cities than post grunge.
I know a lot of hipsters.
the lead singer Aaron Lewis has an amazing voice which is more showcased in a lot of his other tunes. very worth to check out his tributes and covers of Alice in Chains and Pearl Jam, specifically Nuthshell and Black
He should stick to his own music
@@johnphillipsjr7238 Why? He's goid at both. I love his Country stuff.
This takes me back to my first real breakup. The unplugged version hit the feels at the time, also they performed Great at Family Values 2001. Was an awesome show ✌️💕
Yep. I have to be in the right mindset to listen to this or I go down the emotional rabbit hole lol.
The lead singer, Aaron Lewis has some amazing tracks! "Am I The Only One" is a MUST!! Hes patriotic AF
🔥🔥🔥🔥 great song
That song gives me goosebumps!!
To get the best , this song is a must have live version
Aaron Lewis’s a king. Started in the 99”‘a era and is full country boy now. He is my spirit animal. Check out his solos work. It’s amazing.
Staind was actually part of the nu-metal scene with Korn and others. They definitely found a more chill vibe over time and rode it to better success.
Aaron Lewis is one of the greatest singers ever. He does solo tours where its just himself and an acoustic guitar. One show that I saw for the last song he did not use a microphone for his voice or an amplifier for his guitar, he just sang and played without and it was Amazing. Staind - Something To Remind You (Live) its amazing.
Agreed!💕🙏🇺🇸
Guys most of that album has bangers on it aside from like maybe 1 or two personally for my taste. Fade, Suffer, For You, and Outside.. Mudshovel too
Great song. Great reaction Brad. It's rare that I see you really trully fully enjoy a song like you did here. I see Lex felt it. But I don't think she really "got it" like Brad.
I agree 100%
She hasn't been getting it much at all lately with these reactions. They reacted to P.O.D. and she called them Skid Row that raps.
Love this song so much!
Great reaction!! Love Staind! Here's a few more..
"Tangled up in you"
"So far away"
I was addicted love this song makes me very emotional.
You guys need to hear some of his country, it's raw, deep, emotional. Aaron carries the pain of the entire world in his voice.
Staind is a Journey. Aaron Lewis has his soul in his voice. He can make you feel every word he writes. It's a journey as their first album "Tormented" he doesn't know what's wrong, second album he knows what's wrong but has no idea how to fix it, third album he is finding his way out, 4th album is some reflection...that is how the first three albums were described by Aaron Lewis. I came up with the Reflections in the 4th album as that's how I'm remembering "14 Shades of Gray". Dive into more!
This is post- grunge. That's why it seems like an evolution of grunge. This style was strong in the early 2000's, there's a lot of well known bands that have a similar sound. I think you'll enjoy to react to Seether ft. Amy Lee "Broken" .
dare I say "nickelback"?...they all had a similar sound....bring on the hate
"My boots are dusty but it's not cause I bought em at a thrift store, it's because i worked in my boots" shows you already understand Arron lewis and Stained better then 50% of their fans.
Please don’t EVER use the foul term “hipster” with Staind or Aaron Lewis. Thanks.
He definitely kinda was tho lmao
@@Captain_Calciumit's definitely not hipster at all
@@Boo_Yeahsure
You , you’re outta here . Out , out , go leave
Aaron Lewis is an amazing vocalist. Love his solo music as well as Staind...
wow. Great reaction, Brad. Alot of Staind's songs are relatable. Cuz there are a lot of broken people in this world. And their music often times speaks to it.
You are entering the realm of nu metal. There are some great bands from this time. I think Brad would dig Puddle of Mudds first album.
It’s funny cause I don’t think it’s nu metal at all, more Alice and chainsy
@@jessepancamo8449 you're probably right. I guess i think nu metal since limp bizket guy produced them...
Great reaction Brad...it does hit you in those feels!! 👍🏽
I can never get enough of this one and Puddle of Mudd "Blurry," Lex will love that one. 👍🏽❤
Right on..... My fav reaction from Brad so far.
Loved your reaction, especially when Brad admitted that he's made mistakes but that "sometimes" when he's with Lex they all disappear ... that's the message I've always gotten from this song, that the right person can make all the mistakes and tribulations of the past just disappear and make life wonderful again!
This isn't hipster. This is working class, getting addicted to opiods or hitting the bottle cuz you destroyed your body on the job music.
Facts. Hipsters write music about how their girlfriend didnt hold their hand in the hallway at school.
Truth
@@kutark that sounds more like conservatives :P
This is the very beginning of emo music I reckon
Driving home from the beach after working, not doing anything related to the beach lmao
This whole album is a masterpiece every little detail down to even the album cover the way some songs make you even feel like you in the album covers world. Blue,cold and sad as well as relatable
Brad has woken up to this vibe of genre.Yaw will definently have a good time going down the Creed hole!Try out one last breath,My Sacrifice,One,etc!
Hipster.... HELL NO!!!!!!!!! This is just straight up ROCK! This song hit home for me. Just as Brad said. No matter how hard you try. You just can't get ahead. Been there done that. Dark times indeed.
Damn this song hit you hard. Great to see you guys grooving to this one and yes. This was the era of great addictive music. Aaron Lewis is such a great singer and you definitely got to check out more from Stained. My pics would be Fade, For You, Epiphany, So far away. Great review guys 👍
Everyone can relate to this song. It's easily one of the most human songs ever written. I've heard it a trillion times and stuff sing along to it
Absolute must for Staind: Mudshovel, Outside, and So Far Away.
Hipsters are about joining and social interaction. Everything else is done ironically. Retro clothing, well-manicured, cheap beer, fixie bikes, and their music is inconsequential, think ukeleles and drums. Everything ID'd as hipster is really just a vessel for social interaction, concerts, coffee shops, etc. The music isn't going to drown out their conversations.
Love this. My daughter use to listen to this . she is 37 now. It surely has hit a lot of people to the soul. Guys voice is sincere, emotional. Staying power. Lasts through the years. Understanding the lyrics helps. The slower speed of this song sucks you into his world.🌎
Yes the early 2000s were pretty much Alternative/NuMetal/ Pop Punk/ Emo era, I love this song by the way 🔥
Love me some Staind! Hope you get to hear more of their songs. My favorite of theirs is their song "Please".
Wicked Cool tune fought rock addiction for years,been a while,.22 YEARS CLEAN
Dude this is one of my all time fave songs ever ... One of the best lines out of any song ever... It's been a while since I've seen the way the candles light your face and i can still remember just the way you taste!!! Goosebumps every damn time!!!
Wow, I’d forgotten this song. I loved this song when it was on the charts. Lex, love your hair.
I’m with him. No hipster vibes but I can still see why you’d say that. It’s rustic. It’s definitely sad boy type s***. Love y’all 🤘🏻
Katatonia is absolutely your vibe Brad. Check out the songs Old Heart Falls, Second, or July.
Aaron Lewis is as far away from a hipster as you can get. Check out some of his new music
Right? 🤣 Don't let him see this. 😆 I love that guy so much!💕🙏🇺🇸
Lol right?
🤘🤘🤘
...these kids don't know hipster from....
That song truly meant something to Brad. Like Lex's reaction to mother, minus the tears and obvious emotion
Staind was awesome! So far away was my favorite
"this wasn't giving me thrift store vibes." LOVE IT!
Telling his lady that sometimes all that baggage disappears when he's around her, that's deep love if we're being real here.... to find ANY peace with another person, that's amazing.
Good stuff, right there. Speaks to the soul. Excellent reaction. I just love you two.
“Its been a while since ive seen the way, candles light your face, its been a while but I can still remrmber just the way you taste.” My favorite line, i felt that bigggg
Stainds music really saved, my life at 1 point in my time
Most of the early 2000's rock was grunge inspired. Most of these bands like Creed, Staind, Godsmack, Seether, Nickelback were heavily influenced by grunge. You also have bands like Bush, Days of the New,Tantrc that were post grunge.
I was 22 when this came out. I definitely feel you Brad. Everytime this song came on I would feel it like I was living it, and now I feel it too but it's more reflective. Great song
This song isn’t supposed to be fun. They poured themselves into it, and there’s a a pleasure in hearing something so genuine & authentic.
love this album as well!!!! ya'll on a roll
I love this song, the live acoustic is amazing. I saw Stained live back in 2012 and they were fantastic. One of Aaron Lewis’ live shows where he goes into the history of playing this song before he and stained broke out.
"It's like an evolution of grunge..." it's funny Lex mentions that, as this genre of music is typically put under the post-grunge genre! It goes by a few other names, popular ones being divorced dad rock lmao
dark songs, dark songs growing up during high school, thank you Staind.
I'm glad you guys used the uncensored version for your reaction on this song
This speaks to us all…for who hasn’t had a tough time in life at onetime or another.
Brad was on point with his reaction 😊 hehe but great song!!!! Much love you two from AZ 🌵
Every time I hear this song, it always reminds me of a friend I had who took his life during a hard time. He was the only one who understood me after I had moved and we became close friends, still haven't come across someone the same way since and it still hits just as hard now.
over the years this man still gives me chills , with the song something to remind you live and fade sooo next react
, and the song right here waiting is also a very good song
Staind is a total vibe, like at the Concerts the audience sings most if not all their songs at least here in San Antonio
Saw them last night live here in Tampa Florida and man , they were amazing live !!!!
Great reaction guys. your breakdown of every song hits home ...spot on! the best reaction team out there. Thanks.... p.s it's cool watching a metal/grunge head being shaped in front of thousands....lol
“These are my boots. They’re dusty cuz I worked in them!” is a BAR.
Absolutely one of those bands got millions through the toughest places in life. Plenty of nights I would consider self deletion in my young adult years, and their music and a few other bands help grieve and let it go. They help keep me alive like millions of others.
Posting before I've watched the reaction, just to say I'm chuffed you guys are checking out Staind! - this band and album were massively important to 15-year-old me. And they don't get any respect lol. Some of the tracks I can only listen to as nostalgia now, I feel I'm too old now, the wrong demographic - but some still hold up. This one for sure, and songs like 'Pressure'.
I really enjoy watching Brad smile and laugh. He's usually playing the straight man. Lol
Omg you guys are listening to everything from my 20's today!(late 20 's) LOVE the selection! LOVE this tune! The best of power ballads! ♥️♥️♥️🇨🇦
One of my all-time favorites.
Mine too!
Staind was actually a metal band. Te singer, Aaron Lewis, is a country singer now. There are lots of videos of him throwing tantrums at concerts. lol
That was by far Brad's best comment! Dusty boots from my hard work not buying them after someone else put in the work to make them look like that. Good one Brad! There's hope for you yet. Just playin', keep it up ya'll, it's fun watching you to getting excited about the music and genres I grew up on. Kinda makes me feel almost young again lol
love you guys, the wholesomeness just shines through
Glad this song brought a smile to Brad’s face. He got it.
Addiction is real! This was a true song to that
I have heard this song for over a decade and it has always been a great song. The live version is also worth a listen too. I saw them live last year and they still sound amazing
Brad, your entire boot break down was brilliant. Yall are my faves. From Staind you should listen to "Outside." Cheers!
Definitely about addiction. Getting clean and then the inevitable relapse. On the surface it sounds like he's singing to someone, but in the end it's just him and the drug. I can still remember just the way you taste.
yea alternative rock and grunge combined to make this kind of thing.. bound to be some hipsters lurking about
Love this song. It got me through some pretty rough times. Good and bad memories
I haven’t listened to this song since it was popular, and boy it hit hard, glad I’m with who I’m with, she makes me whole
Brad, I admire your honesty. Keep on being strong!
Brad!!! You nailed it bro.. love you two.
love all staind, more staind!!
