Skatenigs Stupid People Shouldn't Breed
Skatenigs is a group that aptly covers the road map set forth by both Revolting Cocks (RevCo) and Ministry. Sure Skatenigs is very much in line with the feel or composition of both mentioned bands but the material never connected with me in large part because of the alternative spokes, with which at that time annoyed me. I don't hate alternative I just felt that it was being usurped for wider recognition with bands of that period, and I was very much evolving away from that area.
A lot of it I felt was in how obvious the group copied what was already done, yet it wasn't until much later that I began to understand why I didn't receive the material well. I had a real hard time connecting with the record Stupid People Shouldn't Breed as it felt more like a inclusive joke, covering a gigantic ego, exposing a stilted sense of disposable attitude, and being extremely pompous.
There is groove which harkens back to the disco era, but tends to meander a lot. Either I felt it was underdeveloped, or haphazardly put together due to time constraints. In a lot of ways this record made me feel awkward, and stilted.
Having re-acclimated myself to this record I still feel the same as I did then about its message or lack thereof, but the main component I will say here is there are a few decent songs, apt groove, and faux electronic drum beats, but as a whole seemed uncomfortable to get through. Thanks for reading.
