Last night I found myself at a bus stop at 4 AM trying to teach my friends how to do the "oo wah ah ah ah" from "Down With the Sickness" and that is when I realized the true extent of how much this tournament affected my life

Thanks LV for running this.
Real talk: this music was popular during a weird period of my life that seemed normal at the time but that you couldn't pay me enough to relive, and this tournament awakened some bizarre and uncomfortable elements of that era that legitimately made me feel nauseous several times. I tried to revisit this stuff with as open of a mind as my preconceptions would allow, but my main takeaway is that I'm so glad it's not 1999-2001 anymore, that high school is over and I never have to go back, and that the current circumstances of the world and my place in it are such that it is extremely easy to avoid ever hearing this music again, even by accident. It's beyond even pop culture novelty for me; it just has no place in my life on any level.

I sorta had the opposite experience. I never liked this stuff in high school/college (with the exception of Sepultura) and it was interesting to revisit it.

I propose an "old tournaments" or "tournaments archive" subforum that can be a dumping ground for all those locked threads once a tournament dies. Because the front page of OB is always a mess immediately after one of these tourneys.

Yeah, this was my experience too, despite being roughly the same age as KD.
Somehow I avoided a lot of this stuff, perhaps it wasn't quite as pervasive in Australia, or I was too preoccupied with Yo La Tengo or whatever at the time, so much of this tournament was new for me.

I would just like to congratulate ‘Achilles Last Stand’ for another impressive, undisputed victory. Congrats Achilles!!

I still haven't listened to Minerva all the way through, it just feels a little too naval-gazy for me.
I think I've heard a grand total of 6 Deftones songs, and those were on soundtracks. They were never big in my friend groups so I never got exposed to them.

buddies and i made our yearly weekend trip down to portland last weekend. rode a bunch of those Bird scooters to the brewery, with a bluetooth hanging on the handlebars. arrived at the packed patio brewery with Bizkit's "Rollin'" blasting. got a lot of side eyes from the hipster crew. LV would be proud, i think.
