    The Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 2 had a massive impact on my taste in music.

    Need for Speed was that series for me. Pendulum, Justice, The Qemists, Junkie XL, Hyper, Madeon, Feed Me, Nine Inch Nails, Celldweller, The Prodigy, The Chemical Brothers, Noisia, Haezer… Man NFS had some killer soundtracks.

    What’s so great about Taylor Swift? Everyone talks about how “great” Taylor Swift is. Taylor Swift isn’t so great. She never got her picture on a bubble gum card. Have you ever seen her picture on a bubble gum card? Hmmm? How can you say someone is great who’s never had their picture on a bubble gum card?

    SKATE 2 had a totally banging soundtrack. No Swift. She has a terrible reach into the skate game history books.

    Fully, a MASSIVE amount of what I’m into now came from Tony Hawk games and [adult swim] and the trajectory that put me on. [adult swim] was for sure the MTV of my generation.

    By the time I was watching MTV, it was still some TRL and music vids, but also a big dose of Room Raiders, etc… And it eventually fell out of fashion. [AS] definitely had their finger on the pulse of what the cool cats were to tho. Such a hip scene. I still vividly recall a bump for Boondocks featuring Flying Lotus’ song Massage Situation that felt mind blowing.

    Weird to think where I’d be without either.

      This is why I am fucking terrified of Gen Alpha raised on Elsagate-style youtube shorts.

      Wonder what the media trajectory of growing up watching your beloved cartoon friends unexpectedly mutilated as their chubby little baby fingers scroll into the weird part of youtube

      We are gonna get some uniquely fucked up people in the next two decades.

    Same, dude. THPS2 was massively influential for my generation.

    Never been a skater myself after having had a neck injury in third grade, when I first tried it. But the music stuck.
