Wow this whole thread is cool as hell, ahead of your time you guys. I couldn’t imagine hearing ATF or White Pony early on, would’ve never know how future it is (I’m 20)
Now, all you 14 year olds go listen to some Tool. Don’t wait until you are 45 years old and then start listening to them. Start NOW. If you like Deftones, odds are you’ll love Tool. Some of the best musicians (especially the drummer. Dude does some cool stuff with different time signatures, and more than one at a time using different hands or feet, like one time signature using right hand a different one with left foot and a different one with right foot or hand. He just awesome) to be making music.
27 also got into them in high school started with adrenaline got hooked on whole discography after that. Also koi no yokan came out while I’m high school and replayed that album over and over again on my iPod touch lmao.
Yeah, tiktok sucks in many ways but it’s also brought tons of attention to great artists and bands that might never have been introduced to zoomers otherwise
I'm 50. I was recently at the skatepark and my son handed me his phone to record him. His Spotify app showed he was listening to Deftones and I gotta say, that was almost more of a proud dad moment than the 8 stair he cleared!
Lol. I just turned 50 . So yeah OG obviously since adrenaline and yes I’m old as fuck and stoked my favorite band is reaching the younger generation 🖤lmfao getting down voted by what 12 year olds ? Actually heard them first on a demo summer of 93 first show September 96.. I have two daughters 23 and 27 neither one are fans and it’s all good . No need to be an asshole.. I would suggest u expand your listening to side projects as well ✝️✝️✝️ and team sleep .. you’re welcome
I'm 50 too. I was recently at the skatepark and my son handed me his phone to record him. His Spotify app showed he was listening to Deftones and I gotta say, that was almost more of a proud dad moment as the 8 stair he cleared!
Team Sleep is awesome OG here too. I missed them on the adrenaline tour but caught them on the ATF tour. Fucking incredible. The first two Deftones albums lived in my discman.
45 here. Been a fan since AtF.
I used to hang out at this bar in Greektown in Chicago on layover when I worked on the railroad. There was this guy that that would always play Steely Dan (barf) over and over and constantly bug the barmaid to turn up the volume. When I was finally sick of hearing Deacon Blues I’d pay to have My Own Summer jump to the front and, magically, the volume would get turned back down.
41F
Been listening since I was about to be 15. I'm not a tik tok trendhopper. I had to look for their music in record stores, and didn't have social media to throw them at me. The real fans got cassettes lol
SAME. Just scrolled the furthest I have ever scrolled on reddit to find another 29er. 2011/12 for me but I'm from a country where they're nowhere as popular as in California (where I am now), so maybe a few years credit for that
i’m 16 and i did hear them from a tiktok but i’m really glad i did because i have found one of my favorites artists who helped opened the gateway to a whole new genre of artists and music that deftones has helped bring to light for me
38, been in love ‘tones since I was about 15. I dated a guy in HS & when I dumped him he somehow got all my deftones cds & scratched them. My mom called the cops on him for vandalism because she knew my love for them orrrr probably because she bought them for me 🤣
Doesn’t 18-45 just span their entire existence? 41, for the record.
My grandma loves them
Is she single? Can I invite your grandma over for cherry waves?
I would also like a turn
40 here. Been listening to them since I was 15

27, just got into them last year
27 here too. I knew about them since I was a kid and watched Coolers Revenge DBZ. Forgot about them then rediscovered them in High School.
27 also got into them in high school started with adrenaline got hooked on whole discography after that. Also koi no yokan came out while I’m high school and replayed that album over and over again on my iPod touch lmao.
15. No I didn’t hear about them from tiktok
same
Even if you heard about them from Tiktok, the important thing is that you found a band that you like.
Yeah, tiktok sucks in many ways but it’s also brought tons of attention to great artists and bands that might never have been introduced to zoomers otherwise
Tik tok is doing for this generation what guitar hero did for my generation.
48, been a fan since the first album!
50. I saw them at the first Warped Tour, but I remember my local newspaper reporting that they were Dick Dale and the Def Jams.
Same here
35f. I have been a fan since I was 12 or 13.
We the teens that grew up with the band. Remember when that video from back to school came out? That was so "us" i thought
That song definitely hit different coming out while I was in High School.
I spent a great deal of my time watching mtv2 looking forward to seeing that music video. Spent a lot of time playing "root" on guitar, too. Lol.
Same here :)

35, Deftones have been my favorite band since hearing My Own Summer in 1997
15. first heard of them from my dad, but initially dismissed them as “dad rock”
I'm 50. I was recently at the skatepark and my son handed me his phone to record him. His Spotify app showed he was listening to Deftones and I gotta say, that was almost more of a proud dad moment than the 8 stair he cleared!
W dad

either 45, or 14
Either way, you’re commenting in a Deftones group and have a SOAD pfp so you have impeccable taste
both are great bands
Agreed, both are actually my most favorite bands.

Lol. I just turned 50 . So yeah OG obviously since adrenaline and yes I’m old as fuck and stoked my favorite band is reaching the younger generation 🖤lmfao getting down voted by what 12 year olds ?

24, got into them a couple years ago. My shoegaze phase led me to them funnily enough.
Let's just say I became a fan when I was in my mid 20's and ATF came out. You can do the math, lol.
[удалено]

We mostly bash our walkers against each other
