Stumbled upon Sonic Youth again about a year ago and can't believe what I have missed... Thanks for the vid/doc. Much appreciated!

Daydream Nation

Fantastic documentary. Thank you

It's funny how it took Grunge to hit for Sonic Youth to get more recognition, like they were going hard in the very early 80's, but it wasn't until Nirvana, for Sonic Youth to be retroactively put under that Punk Umbrella, aka Grunge, which was not Sonic Youth, but like Mudhoney, they were brought to the forefront by the brief Grunge explosion before the inevitable decline of most, ( heroin), and Youth just kept on going right until Thurston decided to have an affair, and boom, Sonic Youth is no more as of, 2016-17.

Hey, not shitting on this, I love it, keep it up kiddo!!

And they did get on Geffen records, far from Independent

this a vibe 🔥

Thanks for posting the song chords from the albums. Really cool to see those!!!

Wasn't expecting a course on sausage.

I genuinely can't understand why people like this band. I've heard all their "classic records" (Daydream Nation, Goo, The One With threat Raymond Petition cover of Nouvelle Vague looking couple in the car...); have they ever recorded anything really horrible and anti-music? Like, no songs. Oh that LP that WSB had something to do with was okay. I'm sorry, fans, I just don't get them

Sonic Youth happened when no wave was mostly over. They pretty much commercialized it back into a simple rock and roll format.

This is great man! Love that synth line that starts at 3:25 and the 2000's esque psychedelic visuals xox

Congratulations on this fabulous documentary...

Lou Rivaldo

dont be surprised thats how inventive sy is

Can't stand them

Great project! I'm almost finishing listening to Thurston Moore's autobiography and am always on the look out for more Sonic Youth stuff to devour and this was a great watch!

I love it, chaos fits me here... I'm ancap and they are opposite of cap, love it

I really enjoyed this video. I've been a Sonic Youth fan since the early 90s. I love the clip you used for "Making The Nature Scene", as that's my favorite version of that song. You did great with talking connections between the band and other musicians, as well as the isolation that Kim was feeling in finding herself. I also loved the parts from The Year Punk Broke - it's an awesome documentary. I can see why your professor loved this project. Cheers, good sir!

👍🏽 , bravo Nick !!! I was so lucky to see them in the early 80 s live in a movie theater in Berlin. I was ... blown away & will never forget it!!!💥

Keep going. They'll come eventually.

Great doc! Thanks for including the live reverberated remix video I made of Shaking Hell on a whim years ago! :)

Yup new york has not changed at all a total 💩 pit 😂

Sonic Youth one if the greates bands of all time

I must admit that at times they were too childish to take them seriously, but their message was so provocative and influential in a way that it shaped me to be who I am today. Maybe it was the way I wanted to see punk, the way I wanted to learn about it.

Evol....is soooo fukin good and under appreciated

Bro thourstyn moree turns into Henry Rollins at the start

Sonic Youth are a totally cool, unique, innovative original band. They don't require overt collegiate dictionary description. LISTEN TO THE MUSIC.

"a dare to our parents"? he had to be, what, at least 35 when 'the year that punk broke" came out? its funny, you read the term 'elder statesmen' of indie rock or whatever in a lot of critical hagiographies of sonic youth, but in a weird way they remained committed to the same state of perpetual adolescence that you see in the mainstream rock traditions they were supposedly critiquing. its just a different version of perpetual teen-dom, with hipper, more urbane footnotes than you find in a bon jovi bio.

"a lot of people see rocknroll as youth culture but when youth culture gets monopolised by big business, what are the youth to do?"

AMAZING video! Sonic Youth has been in my top 3 favorite bands since i was in college. This was so well put together, and I really love the fact that you went into Kim Gordon's personal feelings about being in the band and all that, i think this sometimes gets overlooked..apparently there is supposed to be another book about them coming out sometime later this yr, should be good!

great mini doc. but im pretty sure philip glass didnt own greene street studio.

Legends!

Fuck them for how they treated nardwuar

wish you normalized all the audio

God knows how much I hate Sonic Youth. !

Your video sucks.

Don’t think Kim was struggling with her sexuality. She was struggling with being a middle class girl. So she rebelled

Why in the thumb nail is Thurston doing the weird thing with the eye that a lot of celebrities are pictured doing...is it something to do with the eye of horus..search eye of horus celebrities and your know what i mean...

Sad to discover, having read her book, what a poseur, name-dropping superficial, elitist phony Kim Gordon actually is. That they all were. Kind of crushing.

Good doc, pity about the shit sound

This is how culture, art, music and creativity must act. Now is just gold diggers and wannabes, they all first appear as artists, but it's just an excuse for trying to be rich and famous

If you're new to Sonic Youth, start with the "Goo" album. It's a real toe tapper and a pleasant introduction to this amazing band.

One of the Greatest and Important bands..FACTS

Ahh, the band every hipster has a shirt of but couldn’t name a song to save their life

Boring

6:45 the idea that Punk isn't Middle Class is a laughable misinterpretation of the genre

Those guitars need psychological counsel after the torture they go through, congrats S.Y. Are you an Anglo-Australian viewer? You are unique in the world, no one can trump your ideals...

Great band!

Great band, thank you for sharing this gem
