And then he play some Sonic Youth, and he writes: "Sonic Youth, hell yeah, the greatest band in all generations!". Then he plays some Chopin, and he writes: "Music today is not like it was in the past...how can you compare Shakira to Beethoven?". ;) Well, I do exactly the same...

A societal artifact. It's the year 2000. Yes laptops are omnipresent sure, but folks are still fortifying their wandering bored minds with .... BOOKS!! They're actually sitting on sofas turning pages of magazines and novels without grabbing smart phones.
She looks her age. That said, Kim Gordon is reminder that 25 years old isn't the maximum age for being hot or uber cool (though I'm not sure many can be quite as cool as her).
KIM, KIM ALL I CAN SAY IS I TRULY DO STILL LOVE YOU ALMOST 25 YEARS LATER YOU TO ME MAKE WHAT I BELIEVE WHAT A REAL JUNKIE IS TO THE END STILL STANDING TALL, ANGRY VERY VERY ANGRY !!!LOVE MAJENTA
@sevennationarmy2 I hear they're just going on a break though, and that they are actually thinking about making a new record in the future. You can't really trust me though, I wouldn't call myself a fan simply because I don't really know them that well. I was scared off years ago by receiving the entire collection of their discs all in one go and so the pile was just too high for me to get into properly. But I watched the year punk broke and I've fallen in love. Will have to find all of the cds
I hate to say this and people are going to hate me for saying it but this sounds a lot like Slipknot's 'Danger - Keep Away'. Or slipknot's track sounds like this which ever.
Kim Gordon's face is kinda the female version of David Bowie. Hehe.. But the way she sings is kinda like Kurt Cobain. :D I love this band! I love grunge! And I fucking hate the world!!! Lol
As for Michael "kiddie fiddler" Jackson, I do believe the tone of her skin is lighter than his, in its original shade at least. Ditto for 2pac. I hope she's not fiddling her kids either.
logan zepeda Yes, it's a common word, but it also happens to be the title of the major Nirvana album, and Sonic Youth were very close with Nirvana. Obviously Sonic Youth putting out a song entitled "Nevermind" is going to have some connection to Nirvana. Sonic Youth would have to be a hopefully stupid bunch of idiots if they didn't think of the connection. I don't think they're that stupid.
When I first read the title I thought immediately is this a sideblow at Nirvana? Listening to the lyrics I am even more convinced they had a go at their successors. Am I the only one?
I kinda doubt it, just because Sonic Youth were early Nirvana supporters and never really demonstrated the resentment some bands of that era felt towards them (particularly the Melvins come to mind). If it's a reference to Nirvana at all, it's more likely that it's about their rise to stardom and the toll that took (which Kurt himself wrote a lot about) than a dig at the band themselves.
This Video pretty much sums up this era of Sonic Youth perfectly: the aural & visual equivalent of a really bland & dry salad washed down with a soda water. Murray Street was a shining light that gave me hope for them again, and by Nurse they were solidly back on track. They should have skipped this whole album and just released ‘Renegade Princess b/w NYC Ghosts & Flowers (the song) as a a 1 off 7” single. Those were the only 2 redeemable songs. The LP as a whole was trash
I KIND OF take it back now (in regards to this song at least). I’m coming down off of shrooms and Kim’s vocals, the screeching guitars and churning bass in the 2nd half of this song make it a new favorite for me. Weird how that took 20 years to sink in. Is it the shrooms? IDEK. But I could still do without the tacky visual of the granola hipster couple cuddling at the rocking chair tho. Ew.
I miss 120 Minutes, skipping school because I was so tired from staying up late, worth it being first introduced to Sonic Youth
Surprised nobody has mentioned this so far, but notice that 3 of the women in this video are the members of Sleater-Kinney.
And the guy with the coke is Jim o'rourke

R.E.M...?
THE 'NYC GHOSTS AND FLOWERS' ALBUM IS THE BAND'S MOST LITERAL TRIBUTE TO THE CITY'S CONGESTION, AGGRESSION AND ADDICTIVE PROMISE.
Kim reminds me of David Bowie...
A female bowie
I love this comment so much.
Wow... I never noticed, but you're right!
David Bowie reminds me of David Bowie.
bowie and sonic youth r my favorite musicians
One of their most overlooked gems!
NYC Ghosts and Flowers most underrated SY album.
I lost this song for a few months! I’m so glad I found it again. It’s definitely a new unique sound. I love this band 🖤

Thank god it's not HD. I really hate it when I can discern stuff.

i love how sonic youth hates music videos

Fun fact Sleater-Kinney is all over this video. You can see Janet @1:45, Corin in the middle, Carrie Brownstein towards the end
noise in it's most beautiful form...
Super. ❤ Я рад ,что знал и немного работал с ними когда был юношей. ❤❤ Художник, поэт - JoysticK .

"NYC" has an eerie mood similar to "Bad Moon Rising"
The most inspirational videoclip ever.

The Dog in this video gave SY one of their album titles "Daydream Dalmation" No?
No that was a different dog
