The whole Clich? Bon Voyage video...

[euclidee]

The dude that does happy medium videos has pretty bad taste.

And all sorts of electronic music suck.

How does listening to and using electropop music in skate videos make one "emo"?

[dillanharp]

So whatever music you don't like is unacceptable. Sounds good.

[foureyedjim]

I'm surprised nobody has mentioned that one edward sharpe song

[cornholio]

Lil Wayne.

Did Kenny pick the song for his part in PS? Whatever it was, it's not really my thing but I was pretty fucking stoked on his part regardless.

His part was pretty awesome. That first line he does with the powerslides could have been the entire part and I'd be ok with it.

[mooraga]

all that shit used on the last zoo video
fucking baron
that entire element "this is my element" soundtrack

[KUberry]

MGMT songs for all euro montages

[wallieD]

consistently bummed on the girly electronic songs daewon skates to

[Probably A Robot]

White people skating to southern rap

This is the one that really makes it hard for me to watch certain stuff. The rest I can usually deal with even if I don't particularly like it.

[J.R.]

There is a good chance that 9 out of 10 skateboard parts that are made will have horrible music. I feel like the ratio of bad songs to good songs used in parts has only grown in favor of the former as time has progressed, every time I go on You Tube and watch a recently edited part I find myself wishing that it was not set to music at all. A bad song will do someones part a grave disservice, sometimes leaving it alone is better than taking your chances.

[QUIT SINNIN]

There's a local dude named Julian Christianson in Denver who is absolutely fucking killing it but god damn if the music in all his parts isn't fucking suicide inducing. Literally the worst rap I"ve ever heard. Can't watch his parts more than once. Maybe not at all if he keeps it up.

[BlueBlurSpeedsBy]

I'm tired of all the new age folk rock shit.

I hate malto the way it is, and that song just drove my hatred further, the song Kenny Anderson/ whoever else was in his part used was bad too.

Don't forget Mo's song for his part.

I loved the happy medium music it really represents them well. I guess I jut don't enjoy that last Zoo York promo and what that offered. I did like Odd Nosdam,that element video some of it was pretty cool, same with Extremely Sorry I thought it was unique, I did get tired of Luans siren theme song after awhile tho. I even enjoyed the DGK soundtrack and some of pretty sweet, not saying it sucked completely but c'mon Cory skating to Night Moves was perfect same goes for MJ's part. Usually I watch a skate video and the music grows On me after awhile like Bake and Destroy but not I love like all those songs except that disco funk Lenoce terry theo montage, not into it. (Now I like it actually) I love that soong with Spanky and Braydon's part tho right off the bat. I wish more skate video had songs like Mind Field or that Alien Montage in the new Transworld video, intense cool artsy electronic music that's not "emo" but rad. Music is indifferent all around just like skaters it's just what mood your in. Slave had a great soundtrack and most Zero Videos and the best was Baker 3.. And Sorry. Just classic right there. If you wanna watch some cool skating with terrible music watch strange notes, some fuel first hand bullshit, or that skate rock music that's just repetitive. I get it, it's Thrasher and that what get do. Fuck I even like that slaughterhouse soundtrack because i watched it for years. To sum it up just watch Kosh Kasper part or most generic Digtial videos. If you wanna push the mute button.   One more honorable mention Enjoi videos kill it especially Louie's part.. That was better than his Man Down part skating and music... Fuck yeah dudes

[Greg Road]

Rap / Hip Hop etc. etc. The end.

[gnidraobetaks]

all of that foo foo wah wah shit sucks. nobody except louie barletta can pull off disco softie stuff. and if one more person skates to the black keys i am going to poop in their mouth. i like it when people skate to shitty songs because it makes all the tru G's in skateboarding look better. you aint gonna see trujillo or grant skating to that evan smith garbage.

Kind of a mellow music dude usually but Grant skating to Slayer was fucking perfect.  Need more of that and less of almost everything else.

How can you hate Malto ? he hasnt done anything offensive at all . No controversial interviews , conflicts with any skater

He has good style , trick selection , goes big , super tech and skates tranny , street and contests

Would definitely not say he's super tech. I just cannot stand him, I have literally fallen asleep watching his video parts. He is a one trick pony, I've seen enough of his backside nose grinds, and over crooks. Not to mention, I cannot look at him without wanting to punch him, just the way he looks, he's what, 23? It seems like he purposely tries to look like he's 13. He is definitely a talented skater, but probably the most boring pro to watch.

[NickDagger]

How about when there is a European so they use a super country-oriented song, like some Spanish bull fighting shit.



Def agree with whoever mentioned Thrasher.

How many of their videos/parts have been made way worse with shitty music?

[stab]

dub step (although whatever they used for the LE promo sounded cool and worked well with the edit)
the band wavves
i love elliot smith but can't get into hearing him edited to skating. same sort of goes for cass mccombs.

[iSk84thechicas]

That whispery, echo-ey banjo-ey bullshit that all the kids love.

Agree, Agree

[king_in_the_north]

silence is golden

[Will Easley]

lots of shitty rap songs that have nothing to do with anything. Like Jeezy said "I'd rather listen to ya instrumentals nigga!"
corny hipster music is on the opposite end of the spectrum but is just as overused and played out.

[_UniversalTruth_]

all these rock songs where it goes "whoooooooooo heeeeeeeeeeeooooaaaaaaaaa  aaaaaaeeeeeoooooohhh"

stuff likes this makes me aggressive

[heritage]

One of the best soundtracks in a skate vid was DVS Skate More. Start to finish,It was about as close to perfect as possible.

[chockfullofthat]

This is the last song I downloaded from a skate video
