Sonic Youth 2016
 

THe latest in my Threads-about-Sonic-Youth-To-Try-And-Justify-My-Continued-Presence-On-The
-Sonic-Youth-Forum Series is this rather sad attempt at credibility. Yawn. So...

Which of the above options comes closest to describing what you think Sonic Youth will be up to in 10 years time? I'm taking a guess that the members will still be performing together, but doing things more in the SYR experimantal/improvised mould. Dunno why though. Hmmm.

Thanks for taking part in my poll - it really is absolutely lovely of you - but please, tell us your choice too. You may wish to elaborate and give your reasons for choosing the option you did, or you may like to tell a joke about porcupines, or give us a recipe for fruit scones. Do what you like, really, I'm not that bothered. Not that you need my permission anyway.

Love.

I think something similar to the lines you're on, more syr mostly because they won't be on geffen anymore so just be using their own resources and they'll all be pushing 60 or older (kim) so performances will be fewer but by god, still as great even if kim needs a walker.

I voted the last option. Not because they won't be doing the above answers but because they will be doing them all. I'm sure they will do things together, and seperately, and pursue musical things and non musical things. They won't be doing just one thing.

Yeah, what AT said.

According to the forum listing, this poll has had three replies, four views, but seven votes have been cast. How can this be?

Alex's Trip: cool answer.

I voted, but I don't really have an opinion. I just want to encourage further Hip Priest polls.

Tha is weird. It doesn't make sense

Thanks.

Aw, that's so nice. I'm running out of ideas though, as you can tell.

It's now six replies, seven views and ten votes.

I think they'll be playing music, but probably not as Sonic Youth. It feels like they're kind of winding down. Not in a bad way, I think it'll all be on good terms and on a good note and stuff, but I don't see them being Sonic Youth in their 60's.

hahaha nice poll

It jumped up to 53 views...

Mmmm, it seems to have sorted things out. This always happens in the early minutes of a poll.

I see some (choosing to remain anonymous) thinks they'll wind up playing Vegas. The cheeky scamp!

The board is probably still recovering from being graced by Lee's presence.

Oh, was Lee here? I was given no advance notification of this. What happened?

I voted be pursuing other musical projects seperately simply because the individual member's own projects seem to be more passionate & convincing if you know what I mean.

But I suppose it will be a mixture of a few answers really.

I'm sure SY will be glad to hear we're wishing their lives away!

They'll be dead

Is that a prophecy, or a threat? :eek: :rolleyes:

123

Rotting in their graves?

:)most likely

Prophecy

In the future Vegas will be overun by experimental rock bands.

If you want to imagine the future, imagine Sonic Youth stamping on a human face forever.

Shit! I hope not. I'm about Kim's age! I'm counting on at least another good 20-30 years.

Ever seen Logan's Run? Well, that's what happens to rock bands when they reach a certain age.

No, but I've seen the Stones aka the Rolling Bones. They should have quit a lonnnnggg time ago. Like 1973. But that's only because they didn't know how to grow old gracefully. The Youth are doing it right.

Yeah, they sure are. Actually the Rolling Stones are all dead, they've been replaced by lookalikes. All the new songs were actually written in the 70's.

Logan's Run is a film in which everyone is forced to die at the age of 30.

The Stones are only still around because they have immense popularity.

Yes

Oh god I love Logans Run.
as for the youth, aren't they our generations grateful dead? I wanna be following them around the amphitheatres in a camper van, swapping tapes of that time they played titanium expose in 2010.

they have already been around for a quarter of a century what's anoth decade

Who else voted playing Vegas?

35% of a century?:p

Yeah, that sounds like how I wanna spend my retirement years. Seriously. "Get in the RV, honey, and don't fergit to bring them new tapes and T-shirts."

much and all as i'd like them to still be the YOUTH, i fear they will be retired... but c'mon they have given us enough records to be going on with.

they will be running for president. all four of them. co-presidents.

They better be up on that stage, and fuck no they haven't given us enough albums. It' s a sad world without S-Y, but Kim needs to put out some new free kitten shit. I like the image of kim witha walker. Coko should start a death metal band. that'd be some funny shit. She and Frances Bean could have fun covering their parent's catalogue.

think of miles davis in the 80s and 70s..

why should they stop?

That's what I think. If you got the passion and the creativity then it doesn't matter, does it?
